I agree. People forget Flynn wasnt that great as a junior. Etling is using the whole field, and extending plays, making good decisions. If he can do the same against better competition and keeps improving, he'll be playing on sundays.

I am in agreement that Etling is better than Flynn, but it is not that Flynn was not that great as a Junior...more like he didn't get to play that much because of Jamarcus, however he lit up Miami in the bowl game.

In the comparison Etling vs Flynn, in Flynn's championship year he was a 5th year player at LSU, and this is Danny's 4th year.

Something that really impressed me was (read it here in some thread) Etling's work ethic. Honestly, it reminded me of Bregman when I read it. Certainly not saying he's got the same level of skill, but damned if he's not working his butt off to be the best he can possibly be.

As revered as Flynn is for delivering a NC, the dreaded combination of Lee and Jefferson in 2011 - 165-267 (62%), 2,043 yds (7.8 YPA), 20 TD and 5 INT was more actually efficient than Flynn in 2007 - 202-359 (56%), 2,407 yds (6.7 YPA) 21 TD and 11 INT. Scary thought.

Danny has played in twice the number of games as Flynn. Flynn played mop behind Russell his Sophomore year and then beat Miami in the Bowl game. He played sparingly his Junior year.
