Just a little article on the QB situation at LSU. We have a lot of talent at QB.

There will be no QB competition if Jennings stays healthy. Well, at least until Harris makes it to campus.

maybe for the backup spot

I feel for Rivers...seems like a good kid.

If he ends up transferring, hope it all works out for him.

What about the Rettig kid? Everybody on this board seemed to be really excited when he signed.

This could be the best group of kids we've ever had at the QB position. Let's see who emerges from the smoke!

The qb spot will be Jennings to lose. He would probably have to play bad in the bowl game and just flat out suck in the spring to be passed up on the depth chart.I'm sure bolden rivers rettig and harris will fight hard for the job. But after arkansas game he blew the competition away. Harris should redshirt next year. I dont like the idea of him coming in as a true freshman playing over guys who already has experience in the system.

Also no kragtgorpe. Im sure he gets tired of holding clipboards on the sideline. I kid. So glad to have him as a tiger, maybe he'll follow into coaching like his old man

That article made it pretty clear that the only competition will be at the backup spots. Which is cool.. It'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

AJ, obviously, has the edge because of reps and what he did in the arky game. Rivers is now backup and unless AJ goes down we will probably never get to see what he has. Rettig, if he stays, will probably be #2 by the end of spring with Bolden at #3 and Harris, unless he blows up in camp, should grab a shirt. it really all revolves aroung who stays...and who geauxs.

Rettig was a big deal coming out of high school. If Jennings is deemed the starter, and with Brandon Harris coming in, I could see him transferring tbh. Sucks too, because I was happy when he committed. Don't know how mobile he is, but after having Mett for so long, and then seeing one drive by Jennings, it really made me see what a difference a mobile QB makes, especially in the SEC.

Eta: I'm not saying a Mett style QB doesn't work in the SEC, because obviously it did. Just saying imagine if JJ had an arm like Mett...

so River's dad named Steve (possibly Stephen) named his first son Phillip then his second son Stephen????


That's odd

Can Rivers grow a stache? If so, Rivers for Heisman.
