re: Like Etling or not, only 2 INTs are phenomenal, and Canada deserves credit

Ive heard from many O haters that Canada wanted to play MB and O meddled in that decesion. So Canada gets the credit for DE success and O gets more shite because yall just mad? LOL ok.

It's fairly certain that O wanted DE to play while Canada wanted Brennan. And whatever success DE16 had this year has to be attributed to the QB coach and OC (both Canada). But if Ed had given in and allowed Brennan to be the starter, which I believe had a much higher upside even as a freshman, we probably would have had many more interceptions and therefore might have lost 4-5 games instead of 3.
I'm not an O hater by any means but I think we would have ended the season being much better than we are if we would have made MB the starter by game 5-6. But I know that is Ed's decision, not Canada's, and the success or failure of his tenure at LSU rests largely on decisions like that that only a HC should make. So no one should give Ed crap for playing DE16 unless they were willing to lose a couple more games during the earlier part of the season. Cant have it both ways.
