Stop acting silly. You know damn well Etling failed to make the throws we needed to score enough points to hang with Sabama. He couldn't do shite against Troy or Mississippi State either. So stop this stupid arse bullshite asking me to provide a benchmark.


So you don’t have a benchmark then. It’s a legitimate question. I’m not saying he is the benchmark but if you are tired of people saying so then surely you have something in mind? No need to get upset.

Last season my benchmark was Jake Fromm of Georgia. He made all the plays necessary to get his team a SEC Championship and a playoff victory and a berth in the national title game.

The benchmark is the qb needs to be capable of making the throws/plays needed to win games. Don't have to be record setting seasons throwing the ball everywhere like Davey, russell, or mettenberger.

Etling was not capable of making the plays needed to win games. His ceiling was to be careful and not screw things up, and that's what he did. That makes for consistently hard fought grind it out games, where you out-talent inferior teams and never threaten equal or better teams.
