re: Etling's passer rating now 156.56 on season

His passer rating is better this season is 3rd all time at LSU so far. Better than Rohan Daveys sr. year, better than Matt Maucks sr. year, better than Flynns better than Herbs better than Tommy Hodsons. The only 2 guys who've had a better Passer rating are Mett and Jruss and Etling is doing it under constant pressure with only 1 legitimate WR on the roster. People who are knocking Etling simply don't know what they're looking at.

This is such BS.

It’s the people citing stats as evidence of Etling’s ability who don’t know what they are looking at.

Mett, Jamarcus, Rohan could all put the team in their back and win a game with their arm. Even Herb Tyler could be more than a game manager and actually win a game for you.

Etling has not and cannot. Sorry you don’t like it but we’ve seen him for 2 years now and he has never put the team in his shoulders and won when the rest of the offense wasn’t working.

And before you point to Auburn last week, defense and special teams win that game.

His QB rating is good because Canada has limited the playbook and won’t call plays that Danny can’t execute. Which seems to be most of the passing playbook.

Sure Etling is smart, tough, has heart and hasn’t made game costing mistakes. But he isn’t going to make a big play when we need t to win a game.

He is not gonna lead this team to a win vs Bama. Believe me if we beat Bama it will somehow be in spite of Etling not becau of him.
