a "great" player?? Really?? What have you seen to support that belief?

First of all I said could be.

But I am basing it off of his competitive edge. People that win typically have superior drive than their competition. He proved to be a winner in high school.

He was never promised anything at LSU. We have not heard a word from him, guys have come and gone from the depth chart but he has done what has been asked of him and has competed the old fashioned way. Now he finds himself as the upper classman and in the mix to be the starter at LSU not because of his talent or default but because of the way he competes and has executed.

He has never had anyone in his ear about transferring, he doesn’t have a “camp”, he hasn’t looked over his shoulder.

Give me a gamer at QB (I think that is what people saw in Lindsey Scott). Give me the guy that knows how to move the chains. Guys that have short memories and know that football is a marathon of individual contests. Those guys win at every single level of football and think Mcmillan has exhibited many of those traits.

Now all that being said, I think the competition is and should wide open, but I will tell you that championship teams have guys like Mcmillan on them, because they are the ones providing internal competition that bleeds over into the games.

I have said before that I was actually encouraged by all the QB performances in different ways.
