Eli wouldn't have won more than 1 at LSU, which we did without him with Matt mauck. We beat Eli and ole miss that season too on our way to the natty.

How bout..."how many super bowl rings would Archie have won if he would've played for the Steelers, 49ers, etc., instead of running for his life with the old Aints?" Sorry, don't mean to sidetrack a very good post subject.

Was talking to my step uncle over the holiday and we got into a debate about how many titles the Tigers would have had if the Mannings had been Bengals instead of going out of state.


Was this before or after he tucked you in?

None. They did not deliver for the schools they chose. They only lived in louisiana, nothing about them ever resembled lsu

It probably doesn’t change. We win one in 2003 and that’s it

If CLM would have been the coach... none. He would have played Jefferson! LoL
Outside of Mett, LSU has been dismal in developing qb's during the CLM era.

"Stayed home?"

They were Ole Miss people. They were only in New Orleans because Archie played for the Saints. Eli did "stay home."

And, even if "Stayed home" meant something else for the Mannings, it would have been Tulane.

Terrible thread is terrible.

If Peyton was here in the 90s... maybe we would have had a shot in 97. With that backfield it wouldn't have all been on him. Only thing that makes me skeptical is Tennessee was a much more talented team than LSU at the time and he still couldn't win one.

Eli would have been here with Saban and Jimbo Fisher, so it's possible he could have developed quickly and started right away or at least split time with Rohan. I would probably say we still win the one in 2003.

So hypothetically one for each which isn't too bad.

We still would have won in 2003 so that's one. We were hitting our stride in 2002 before Mauck went down to injury. If we had Eli that whole year - maybe. But who knows what we would have done that year with Mauck?

As for 2001, I'm not sure Eli would have beaten out a SR Rohan Davey.

If Eli had come, we would have had a SR Matt Mauck as QB in 2004 (i.e. Mauck would not have gone pro after his JR year). We would have done better, possibly making it to the SEC championship game. Who knows? Maybe we would have been in position.

As for Peyton, maybe 1997. 1995 and 1996 were too close to the Hallman years. No way the team would have had the discipline and will to win a championship.

Lsu did have a guy named Curly Hallman as HC when Peyton chose Tennessee, so it wouldn't matter
