He sure as shite won the Auburn game


I would say he did his best for us to lose it.

Throws a moon ball to chark, that had he not had a noodle arm would have been a TD. Still was a nice completion, but Chark fumbled it.
Throws a terrible pick right before the half where we were going to get points, but auburn guy can't catch. Then he made a beautiful pass to Gage for the TD.
Down by 2 with a couple minutes left on Auburns side of the field, 3 straight passing plays where he has time in the pocket and did absolutely nothing with those 3 plays, and got sacked on one of them, driving us out of field goal range.


Danny will make some great plays, and then some really really terrible plays. He doesn't appear to have the pocket awareness he did last year for some reason, and he's a terrible inaccurate passer that can only throw moon balls deep.
HE's not a good QB, but i still like him as a football player.

You are entitled to your opinion but the numbers speak for themselves. He also outplayed the second hottest QB in the SEC by a mile he is constantly under pressure constantly in 3rd and long situations due to the lack of a run game and has almost no help from secondary WRs. Besides Chark you have guys dropping balls running the wrong routes the wrong sight and coverage adjustments they fall down all of the time for no reason (like when Gage fell down on that throw the Auburn DB dropped that you're blaming on Etling) and sometimes don't even look for the ball. You say he doesn't get to his reads and that's just not true, sometimes he only has time to see one guy and when he does have time WRs are Messi g up. Take the intentional grounding penalty, the route he threw too was at lest his 3rd option, the WR had a corner route called but two DB were playing outside leverage and wouldn't let him get outside but instead of making the proper adjustment and breaking the route inside he just stopped all together so Etling had to throw the ball away. If you know what you're looking at you'll notice these things happening all of the time. Think about his supporting cast mainly oline and WRs besides Chark and then think about the fact that his passer rating is 20 points higher than Matt Flynns title season and higher than any of Tommy Hodsons seasons with that supporting cast. Darrius Guice production has dropped significantly even when healthy because of the Oline yet he gets a pass, Etling has actually improved and ignorant fans rip him because of they're incorrect evaluation of his talent level and play.
