re: Etling only had 2 interceptions in 13 games last season

Only if those stats translate into W's!!

quote:

---

Chad Kelly passed for 340 in 2015 and 420 in 2016 on them.

---

Not a fair comparison. Ole Miss had zero running game those seasons. The vast majority of their offensive yards came from passing the ball against every team.

quote:

---

Not enough TDs..

---

It was a run first offense. Etling could have thrown more TDs but LSU would have just rather run the ball in from inside the 10 yard line.

2016= LF and Guice had 39 touchdowns.
2017= Guice and Williams had 22 touchdowns.

That is a lot of rushing touchdowns.

With the eye test he failed bad, he only threw 2 int because they stopped him from throwing real routes. He the reason they lost to Bama. They was hiding him all year with those baby passes.

quote:

Oh the classic “we won the game so no realistic assessment of performance is warranted” excuse. We won that game by a couple scores. HE HAD 9 completions, 4 of which were caught behind the line of scrimmage against an awful defense. In the other game with 1 total wide receiver catch we won by 1 point because the other team missed a PAT. You left that part out. How convenient

---

So we took what the defense gave us. Yeah, I’m going to use th “we won the game easily” excise here. Complaining about that game is flat out ridiculous. We were never in a position to lose. Those of the sorts of games that if you can’t celebrate as a fan, I’m not sure which you can.

I left out the UF game because you did too. Certainly was not his best game, and if you want to criticize him that would be fair. However I don’t really care about margin of victory and will take a win in the swamp when it is 90 outside in the middle of the day. The year before they “only won” because of our screw ups. That is historically a very tough game for us to win and I will take a W any way we can get it.

All that said, Whether you like it or not, he played well enough to win in that game.

He sucked in the Bama games both years he started, that games is the one we judge our seasons on, so if you want to go there then have at it.

Lee had hardly any interceptions in 2011 and both QBs had good running games.

They had very safe managed games.

I would be much happier with 20+ tds, even if it meant a couple more INTs.

You bring up mayfield. I will gladly take his six INTs last year to go with his 70% completion percentage. Dude also had 40+ TDs, but I won’t ask for that in the SEC.

I saw an Alabama fan absolutely blasting Hurts QB play and how it held the team back and he would gladly take Tua’s ability even if it meant they threw more INTs because he took more risk and he understood he’s going to make some mistakes..

I want an offense that doesn’t play scared of turning the ball over. I’m sick of that shite. It’s very limiting and often has so much punting. I remember when Clemson had Watson and he could throw 3 INTs in a game and yet he was allowed to redeem himself and get the team right back.

Good for Danny for padding his stats against a team like a&m that we dominate, but no I would not be thrilled with the same very underwhelming stats overall.. 125 yard passing games. It’s ridiculous. Combining both games against Florida and Alabama last season, he had 2 total tds and only about 250 yards passing.. and this was much improved from a season before against these two teams, but it’s still so underwhelming.

The terrible Ole Miss defense didn’t only give us RB swing passes behind the LOS. That’s just all he completed. I’m not “complaining about the game.” I’m listing facts about the QB play. You not liking those facts doesn’t make it “complaining”

quote:

---

I left out the UF game because you did too

---

I literally said “and a third game in which our WRs caught 1 total pass.” That game was Florida. How did I leave out the Florida game?

quote:

---

That is historically a very tough game for us to win and I will take a W any way we can get it.

---

Again, winning a game means we can’t realistically discuss our QB’s performance? How is that logical?

quote:

---

Whether you like it or not, he played well enough to win in that game.

---

We won that game despite his performance. My idea of good QB play isn’t “not playing bad enough to lose a game in which we scored 17 total points and competed 1 pass to a receiver

yes he played ok against all but the better teams. Thats why we finished the way we did. If u just wanna be ok then have an ok qb.

quote:

---

Bottom line is he was serviceable enough to win 10-11 games last year for sure with any decent receivers and a running game that included a healthy Guice all year.

---

11 games? This is unequivocally false. He played well enough to beat Mississippi St? We scored 7 points.He played well enough to beat Bama? We scored 10 points. He had 61 yards passing and zero points at home in the first half vs a Sun Belt team in a game in which he had zero third down conversions and was benched. We had a top defense nationally last year. And lost 4 games

quote:

---

Chark was on full display yesterday dropping passes in traffic.

---

What does that have to do with what he did at LSU? He was a 2nd round pick and will start in the NFL this season. His 2nd receiver was also drafted. Or does the drafted excuse only work in Etling’s favor but not his own wrs?

quote:

---

So that goes for Fournette right? Those seasons he SUCKED against Bama not only cost his team, but cost him a Heisman.

---

This is such a mind numbingly dumb response. Fournette was incredible in almost every other game in his career aside from Bama. Etling was not. LF7 stats were awful against the best run d in the country that didn’t have to worry about the QB hurting them.

quote:

---

No a-hole, it’s a team sport and the offensive line and receivers have as much to do with that as anyone

---

Why is he an “a-hole” for stating something factual?
