re: Foster over Goodrich for the following reasons

So what 2 we need to take?? Since we have so many 2019 Qbs looking at us. Most good qbs are commited already and have no interest in Lsu.

We seem to be in a good spot for Grant Gunnell next year.

So whoever takes the reins this year, Brennan or Narcisse, I would venture to say Grant will be the next QB at LSU.

And if thats the case, Foster would likely never be a meaningful player.

Also, Foster's accuracy problems aren't a good sign of things to come.

There is absolutely NO WAY I would take Foster over Goodrich if they both were fighting over the last spot.

NO WAY

Some of y'all have adopted the Les Miles way of recruiting QBs. The "Ahhh frick it. We will just wait until next recruiting cycle" plan.

Those other schools also have good depth at qb and guys that have experience so they can take a project and not worry. For us I'd rather not take a project just for depth. Not at qb

I don't really understand what you're saying here. Because we don't have good depth at quarterback, it's better not to take a QB this year? How do we build depth if we don't take guys and try and develop them?

I think almost every high school quarterback is a project. There are very few sure things at quarterback. Go back and look at how hit and miss the top guys are every year. Go look at the quarterbacks that got drafted the last several years and where they were ranked coming out of high school. They come from all over the rankings.

I'm really on the fence here, but I'm starting to lean towards wanting Foster. But, hopefully we can get that counter back for Seth Stewart and be in position to take both. I guess time will tell.

And anointing guys who haven't done anything without having meaningful competition.

I just dont think there is any point in taking another Rob Bolden, Jarrard Randall, Anthony Jennings, Justin McMillian type QB that will never end up playing or developing into a long term answer at QB.

The more I look at this, the more I'm convinced that it's just extremely difficult to evaluate high school quarterbacks and that there's no telling which prospects turn into one of these guys and which prospects turn into Jared Goff. Jennings was the 14th rated pro passer in 2013. Goff was the 15th rated guy that year. Brandon Harris was the 3rd ranked dual threat guy in 2014. Quentin Flowers was 9th.

I think the reality is, most guys end up like the guys you named, so you have to play the percentages and keep taking guys hoping a couple end up panning out.

We are going to need QB depth after missing out on targets this year.

2019 is absolutely stacked at CB. Why take a pretty good CB when we can get a great, if not, amazing CB next year.

I think the margin is very thin on which way the staff will/should go if both are an option..

While the majority on here seem to be tending towards taking Goodrich and waiting for a QB in 2019, I think I agree with you.

I don't have high confidence on any of the QBs on our board actually signing here in 2019, so we should take anyone with a resume like Fosters and smile.

It shouldn't scare anyone off in 2019 and we are definitely much closer to being screwed at the QB position than CB. One transfer after this season and 1 injury in 2020 and we're starting a walk-on or someone who isn't currently on the roster.

That being said, I kind of get the feeling that it won't be a "problem." Foster will probably sign elsewhere.

I'm just floored at how many people are saying they definitely would take Goodrich. It seems like a bunch of bandwagoners. It's ok if you're saying it to soften the sting if we don't land Foster, but there's not a shadow of a doubt that we need him.

We have plenty of time to get on a QB for the next recruiting cycle. Goodrich is a better prospect and stands a much better chance of being a significant contributor. Goodrich is the choice.
