re: Etling has been more than serviceable this season and an upgrade over Harris.

Don't listen to these idiots or engage them they don't know anything. Etling has been the reason this ship didn't sink after miles and harris had us in the worst possible spot we could be at the beginning of the year. He didn't have fournette healthy to lean on guice has been great but levels off quite a bit vs the better defenses. Etling has been our most consistent offensive player and the unquestioned leader of this team. Without him we'd be in doubt of making a bowl. He took an offense struggling to gain 330ypg and beat teams like miss st and jville state and has turned our offense into one that avgs about 500 ypg and has broken at least 5 records in less than a season. Thank god coach O and the staff know better and there's no threat of Etling losing his job next season

Honestly, I don't think that anyone who just sticks DE in the "serviceable" category has ever stepped foot on a field. This is the video game era after all.

The very first thing that I saw was a guy who stepped onto the field and into the starting QB role in the SEC and immediately took control. You could see him taking command with a powerful voice and confidence and that is no small thing. I could go on and on about progressions and using players that were being totally left out of the passing game as well.

The bottom line is that DE has brought a confidence to this offense that it hasn't had since Mett and no "barely serviceable" QB could do that. This board should recognize that.
