We should always have a guy like Etling in the program. A 3rd or 4th year guy, maybe not a superstar, but a solid QB with a winning attitude.
You look at HS football in Louisiana, Mississippi, and East Texas, the top programs are always graduating guys that could be Danny Etling 3-4 years from now. We should be signing one per year so that if our hot shot 4 or 5 star doesn't pan out we have an Etling to turn to.
It's nice to have him this year, but the truth is we should have had a similar option in 2008, 2010, 2014, and 2015.

Generally the guys who are willing to sign and possibly never play aren't good.

Wasn't Mett a similar situation? Not sure.

Et tiling was a 4 star out of HS...same as BH.

I'm not really sure how LSU gets any quarterbacks at all. Les has been absolutely terrible with the position.

LA doesn't produce qbs.
They end up on teams at other positions.
Ruben Randle
Terrance Magee
Mo Claiborne
John Diarse
Early doucet
Skyler Green
I know I'm missing quite a few, but you get the idea.
La qbs that did well and went drafted.
Dak Prescott, Stefan lefors and Eli.
That's about it and none of them played at LSU.

"You look at HS football in Louisiana, Mississippi, and East Texas, the top programs are always graduating guys that could be Danny Etling 3-4 years from now."
In one sense I agree with you, but something has happened over the past 20 or so years that makes this more difficult, at least for a team that runs a pro-style offense with a QB often operating under center. Louisiana high schools (and perhaps East Texas and Miss., as well) have largely abandoned traditional attacks, placing their best athlete at QB in a shotgun-based system. At least for the type of QB we want, pickings have been slimmer in La. in recent years.

His wikipedia page said he was a Rivals 4 star FWIW 3 star on scout

We need pocket passers who can scramble instead of this dual threat crap.

Les can't get a star player that fits in his system. He lives a different world. We can't expect him to have the foresight to get a DE type as a back up all the time.

So, that's one three-star/year and you would presumably want a hotshot four or five as well. That means seven or eight scholarship quarterbacks on the roster if they all stay four years and six or so even if the hotshots leave after three. If you're going to carry that many, then what other positions do you scale back on?
