Too many think you have to take sides re: QB discussion when we haven't seen crap yet

I have no idea what drives this. Too many people assume having a general opinion about one guy or the other means you're in some sort of "Team Myles" or "Team Lowell" camp. But we haven't really seen shite on a major college football field to be in a "team" camp yet.

Let's see some actual on field evidence before we go all "team" this or that. Sure, I have opinions on who it will be, but right now those opinions are based on not NEARLY enough evidence to be strong opinions.

Yeah. I think it probably will be Myles but that's almost entirely a function of the fact that he's the one that they chose to send in last year. Quick take.

Myles:
Pros
Seems to have a strong arm.
Very quick release.
Pedigree as a prototype passer in a passing offense.

Cons.
Dude ain't very big/injury concern
Moves well, but not much of a thread outside the pocket
Showed maybe too much willingness to force the ball

LN
Pros
Physical specimen. "Looks" the part. Legit SEC body.
If his passing is decent, could be a very legit dual threat
Cons
Hasn't played for real in a loooong time
Potential re-injury concern
Odd looking delivery

JM
Pros
Senior. Perhaps he's developed and can use experience/savvy to succeed
Throws better than I would have assumed.
Has a history of good feet in HS.
Cons
Wasn't the guy when DE was pulled-seems a glaring red-flag to me
Basically, not recruited by anyone serious.

But, the truth is, if JM succeeded, while shocking, it wouldn't be unheard of. If LN went out and imitated Cam.....it wouldn't be stunning. He's got the body for it. And, if Myles threw darts all over the field, it wouldn't be surprising.

We're just a whole lot of "maybe" right now.

Yup

I don't "want" any of them. I just hope that whomever it is surprises me.

Most people want the offense to succeed and at the same time wanyt it to look a certain way.

Some people like pocket pastors and some people love dual thread mobile guys.

Ultimately at the end of the day people just want LSU to win football games. Anyone who wants LSU only to win with a certain guys of moron

I have a preferred style of offense

But sometimes you don't have the Personnel to run your preferred style of offense. I get that

To think any of them will play better than etling did last year is a stretch. They all have no experience

Meh for a lefty he has a pretty decent throwing motion, but I guess its all a matter of opinion. He is closer to Mike Vick's throwing motion than he is to Tebow's throwing motion.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until the season when the media stirs the controversy if/when the starter plays less than great.

They’ll be pushing the frick out it for them clicks and comments.

At this point I just want at least one person out of the trio to play really good here from 2018 onward.

Passing accurately is top priority, unless a guy can run like a freaking beast.

Lost in the QB discussion is how easy our WRs may make QB play this year. Sullivan alone last year made Etling look good on multiple occasions. Our QB should thrive this year.
