re: Paging Vol...Any word on D’Eriq King?

Why do idiots keep asking dumb shite like this repeatedly?

Myles Brennan is not better than King lol. The guy accounted for 50 total TD’s (36passing 14rushing) to just 6 picks as a Junior and completed 64% of his passes.

It's amazing how people can make assumptions based on something they know nothing about.

Brennan is tailor-made for this offense. He broke all the MS state passing records. King is an athlete playing QB. Every time he's gone up against a good defense he's struggled to throw the football, and it's very rare for him to play any defense that's worth a crap. He's simply not a good fit for our offense at all.

Lets Give Brady a whole offseason with Brennan like he had with Jeaux, and then we can all chime in on whats best for this team, I think Brennan will be fine and the staff knows it already, don't be shocked if we're having another great season next year, when we took Jeaux, we knew McMillan & Narcisse wasn't gonna cut it for this team, nothing against King either, He's a good one, im js let's give Brennan that offseason he deserves #trustthestaff

The only QB we would make room for this cycle is DJU

He is a quitter and a low character kid. Must pass on him. I like our tow freshmen and Parish has skills.

What the hell is the fascination with D'Eriq King? The dude is less accurate than Bo Nix and D'Eriq doesn't face SEC defenses.

Except not everybody is breaking state records, like Brennan.

If this is what you want to hang your hat on then King threw 126 TD's w/only 16 picks against 5A Texas competition.

Texas high school ball is a different breed, Brennan wasn't some product of a system. Look a the stats of guys before and after him at the school he went to - they did not come close.

Athletes don't throw 36TD's and 3000k yds in a year by accident. He can sling it as well.

---

Sure they can, there's PLENTY of cases of great college QBs who could never hack it in the NFL because of multiple reasons - system they are in, very talented compared to their competition, etc etc etc.

Again, look at the specific games King has (Very rarely) had to play a defense with a pulse, his passing numbers are never any good. This is the case of a guy in the right system and playing A LOT of bad competition.

And in those 2-3 games he had shitty o-line play. Go look at his Passer Rating and QBR in those games. Just going off completion % is a shitty observation. You give him time and he can pick you apart.

He's a great fit for any spread type of offense

IT's crystal clear you either:

A. Have not watched any film on King or
B. Do not pay attention to our offense at all

First off, again, the dude just LOOKS like a great athlete put at QB when you watch the film. He isn't making complicated throws, he is rarely throwing anything resembling an NFL route tree. He chucks the ball a lot, he is rarely even asked to make throws into tight coverages. This is absolutely nothing like our offense. He's being put in the best possible situation and doing well in that, but there's a reason he's not throwing outside the hashes almost ever. He's not throwing over the middle very often. He's limited as a passer and that has been exposed when he goes against a defense with a pulse. I've watched plenty of film on the guy to know there's no way he could work in our offense without us switching to a much heavier run based system and remove about half our route tree because you cant trust him to throw it compared to someone with an accurate strong-enough arm.

King is a great fit for someone like Rich Rod's offense at Ole Miss, or some other team who likes to run the QB a bit and not throw it complicated at all. Either way in the SEC he'd be super limited as a passer. This isn't Tulsa, East Carolina, Temple and Tulane he's going against each week.

To say someone is a fit for "any spread offense" is a gross over-simplification of the many spread offenses out there.

There’s a mutual interest between LSU and King, but LSU doesn’t want to use a scholarship on a guy they’d have for one year when they’re basically able to cherry pick recruits.

Not only that but he doesn’t fit this system

You're delusional. Brady had a whole offseason coaching up the wide receivers. While QB coach, OC, and LSU play-caller, Steve Ensminger, coached up Joe Burrow from average Joe QB in season one to Heisman QB Joe in season two.
