i remember seeing the same thing said a few years back when brandon Harris came in for an in ineffective A. Jenning against auburn and looked great . I like the enthusiam but heck DE threw for like a 100 yards against JSU. If he looks good against an SEC team then i'm all for the skies the limit but until then i think we need to see what this kid can do on Sat.

I posted elsewhere pump the brakes as some of the drops were not great throws.
Vs better DBs maybe even more INTs, so jury still out for me.

Well, he is better than what we had so that is a plus for us. He's earned a shot IMO.

We know how this will play out. Miles will limit the effect the QB will have on the game. If Etling is allowed to throw more than 20 times all be shocked. And that maybe a good thing because it probably means LSU is winning.

Get your logic and intelligent thoughts out of here. Only emotional and irrational responses are welcome here.

It really is hilarious to watch this board shift from one extreme to the other.

A buddy of mine called it after Etling's first play that this place would crown him the savior.

We just love the way he gets the ball to playmakers.

Actually, he shite the bed against AU and we lost 40 something to 10 something. Harris played well in a garbage time loss to MSU at home....

Harris didn't do well against Auburn...that was Harris and Fournette's Freshman year, the year we got smoked at Jourdan-Hare.

Etling is not Harris. He's proven that so far. I know his stat line didn't wow, but he showed he could move the ball and when DE16 was in the game the defense had to respect the pass. NOBODY did that when Harris was in the ballgame. Give DE a chance, he will lead this team.

Hopefully Etling isn't reading TigerDroppings during the season. He needs to focus on his craft and not see message board opinions.

Les has beaten tiger nation into submission with such bad qb play that when we see anything but a bomb completed people start to get really excited. It's truly sad just how bad the passing game has been.

Yep that is what I have been trying to tell all of my sunshine pumpers that think the next Mett is here!!! Look Etling looked FANTASTIC in the 2nd qtr but truly look like crap in the 2nd half. So cautiously optimistic is how I feel about Etling right now.

Look the reality is I didn't think it could get any worse then Harris has been these last 7 games, but then again I thought that about Jennings and I personally feel that Harris was worse then Jennings even with the 7-0 start last year that was mainly due to LF anyway. So I am cautiously optimistic, the big positive I see that hopefully translates to success on the field is that we finally have the right style of QB "pro-style pocket passer" in Etling running the offense I just hope he is the right QB to go with that.

Some people thrive on it, some people shite their britches.

Etling will be fine IF the OL protection holds up.

17/25 200+

Fournette will get 150+

D will hold the cowbells to 10

27-10 LSU

He looks confident and doesn't look confused when he's out there. Maybe, just maybe, the kid is tough and won't let Miles turn him into a dependent softie out there. A coach needs a quarterback who can say, "coach I got this, I know the playbook, so call anything you want, and I'll make independent decisions on the field."
