Etling and Harris played against the same defense last week. Etling was better. He may not be good, but hes damn sure better than the other guy. Thats all that counts when making the decision.

I have a feeling Etling will throw more INT's than Harris. However, he also gives the team a better chance to move the football. It's a double edged sword.

Harris took 6 snaps attempted 4 passes, and he was awful.

Etling was better in the 2nd quarter, but what about when Etling missed a wide open JD Moore in the flats, sailed the ball on Guice who was incredibly wide open on the wheel route, got sacked and fumbled, and then overthrew Dupre by 10 yards as he ran free on the left? Those 4 drop backs in a row are just as bad as anything we've seen from Harris this year.

There is essentially 0 evidence that this is true at this point, and surely you'd think an LSU fan would have learned their lesson given our history with the back-up saving the day in limited action.

FWIW, I hope you're right and Etling is a world beater. However, people who are suggesting we pump the brakes have a good point. They're not suggesting Harris needs to play, yet people can't help but shite on Harris while trying to prop up Etling. Just focus on what Etling did well - namely leading the team from a vocal standpoint, an efficient and accurate 2nd quarter, and calming the fans and vibe in the stadium - and leave the other shite out of it.
