re: Shea Patterson is not eligible to transfer and play immediately (but maybe)

If allowed to transfer, he would likely go to an LSU rival before coming here, but should he want to transfer to LSU, the QBs on the roster would have the opportunity to compete.

Brennan was given that opportunity this past season, and couldn't earn significant time over a weaker arm that was an awkward runner.

Canada likely here for one more year. He's never stayed longer than 2 years anywhere, so I'm just not sure why anyone thinks there exists a legitimate downside to entertaining the thought of a one year transfer.

This is all mental masturbation anyway, b/c if there's one thing everyone should know about Patterson, it's that they are in it for themselves. LSU would make too much sense from a team's goals perspective. Everything's in place for success outside of proven QB play for LSU next year. And with a proven experienced OL coming back without a proven RB, the passing game would likely be used more to set up the run, which you would think should be enticing for a guy who's only concern has been showcasing his talents.

For a QB who wants to prove himself against the best of the best for the NFL Draft, our 2018 schedule is perfect for Shea Patterson.
