Most under appreciated QB?

Rohan Davey was a beast the year he actually played.

I think Etling. Etling did more with less and got less credit for it, although folks sleep on Rohan because his time was immediately before the current championship era.

I think Risher is also underappreciated (as is 4-year starter Jamie Howard, although some of that was self-inflicted).

Etling was very under appreciated. His Sr. Year he finished with the 3rd highest passer rating in LSU history at that time and set a record for 40+ yard completions. His Jr. year he managed a 30+ point jump in passer rating from the previous 2 QBs so yes he was a very underrated QB for us. But Rohan has to be #1, LSU made the jump from western division doormat to SEC Champs with Rohan. That’s a huge and near impossible climb to make in a couple of seasons. He set passing records that stood for nearly 2 decades, some still stand even after Burrow came through. He was tough as nails, he was smart and he was a leader. Most LSU fans love Rohan and he is appreciated but he’s still under appreciated IMO. A lot of fans will have guys like Jones, Russell, Flynn and some will even have Mett but I’d put Davey in my top 3 without question.

Etling was a tough sob. He rarely made costly mistakes and was quietly very efficient.

Etling did a great job playing within his limitations, but he had a lot of limitations.

Rohan has always been appreciated. I think that’s clear. Of Ro doesn’t injure his knee against Tennessee in 2000 and then get hurt again it a week or so later at Florida, Booty never sees the field.

Post 1980 o would say Mickey Guidry and Herb. Especially Herb. We won plenty of games because of his ability to hit the long out route on play action and escape pressure.

You think Rohan Davey was underappreciated? He was beloved.
