Put some RESPECT on Danny Etling's name.

Joe Burrow and Danny Etling weren’t portal transfers.

Etling was mediocre at best and not to be mentioned with the other great QBs.

Evangel is really outmatched physically most games but he takes snaps 10 to 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage and still does a two step drop. Alot of his throws are unnecessarily long. A 10 yard out on paper is really a 30 yard pass in the air the way they run that offense. It leads to some interceptions. But two of them last night I saw were just bad decisions, and great plays by a really good DB. I didn't see the third.

Film Guy Network said Pops was some of the best film he's ever seen. Pop is really really good, but hey, we are LSU and we will be great at QB no matter. (At least those are the expectations.)

Hell, Sam Leavitt threw 3 picks in the first half against tech tonight. It happens.

The dude played in a national all star game as a JR and was the best QB by far. I guess at 17 you have to be a finished product

This. I would spend my money on proven talent in the portal rather than spend millions on a HS QB like Haven.

I’ve watched him several times last year against highly rated 4A and 5A teams and he was a one man show keeping them in the games until the very end. Made multiple eye popping throws in each game where he fit it into tiny windows downfield usually on the run. Dude looked crazy accurate when I watched.

QBs are eventually going to figure out that it's more important/valuable to go somewhere they can play.

I'm not getting the pop hate.
He is an extremely hard worker. I wouldn't bet against him. Very accurate qb.

Not even close. Houston looks better than Manning at this point in their careers. I'll concede Manning was better than his team but Houston is showing you more than Arch did.
I'm still not convinced Houston is the QB of the future but Manning wasn't as good of a HS player.

Ridiculous that you have to say that. Love this kid.

Saying the Elite 11 isn't football isn't controversial. It's similar to saying the NFL combine isn't football.
As for saying QBs will eventually figure out it's wiser to start at a smaller program and work their way up? It's about risk.
Pop can put his time in at LSU and hope LSU doesn't bring in more transfer QBs with experience or he can go get experience now at a smaller program and then be the transfer portal QB LSU is looking for.
Collge starting experience far outweighs whatever practice reps, backup duty, and playbook knowledge Pop gains from waiting his time at LSU.
LSU is going portal shopping at QB whether Pop is on the roster or not.

Be original, that's the first words come from you guy's mouth about black QBs.

I don’t make positive or negative declarations about HS QBs anymore. I can’t remember being right on one… ever.

Evaluating QBs is one of the hardest thing in sports. And it prob gets easier as they mature but it’s still a very inexact thing

When it comes to quarterbacks, part of the formula for success is giving yourself as many reasonable chances as possible. Portal, high school, it doesn’t matter. I think we should be aiming for 2 each cycle. Gotta keep throwing darts.

Sam darnold was a bust.
Baker Mayfield was a bust.
We saw how that turned out really fast

Yap, matching play-style with a system matters too. That is why Lane Kiffin has been so successful. He knows the type of player that is needed to make his offense run.
As opposed to what LSU did under Brian Kelly. Seeing success with Jayden Daniels and trying to go to Garrett Nussmeier directly the next season. An example of having no direction for your offense.
