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

quote:

---

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

*6A...which is pretty damn impressive.

King is a high character young man, I have only heard extremely positive praise from anyone who has ever played with or against him. Even from officials who called his HS games, he is a humble person who works his tail off.

He has a 4 different OCs while at UH, is coming off major knee surgery and was the only real offensive threat they have had the last 2 seasons...he is anything but a quitter or a “cancer”


-I am in the “LSU doesn’t need him” camp but to say he isn’t a talented athlete who is going to help someone next year is a damn joke.

Because he is. King will be really good at Memphis or SMU

Except not everybody is breaking state records, like Brennan.

Are you new to college sports? This almost never correlates to the next level especially D1. If he was so highly thought of there wouldn’t be the slightest interest at all from LSU. Kings name wouldn’t even be brought up in the media as a school of interest from either party but it was. And Brennan would be in his 4th year next year of college ball. That’s very telling. LSU has been seeking out transfer QB’s since Brennan stepped foot on campus.

quote:

---

Look a the stats of guys before and after him at the school he went to - they did not come close.

---

I think you are failing to realize the competition he played against. It wasn’t in the same stratosphere as King played so stop bringing up high school stats.

quote:

---

Sure they can, there's PLENTY of cases of great college QBs who could never hack it in the NFL

---

Are we talking about him transferring to LSU or the NE Patriots? I’m confused

quote:

---

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

---

Other than you looking at just the completion % what numbers aren’t good? His passer rating is phenomenal in those games.

quote:

---

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.

---

Good OC’s tailor their offense to the player they have behind center. You see what Bama is doing with Mac jones. They aren’t letting him throw over the middle either. They are not over complicating things for him at all. They know he’s not Tua and so they give him easy throws to make and let the receivers do the rest. They did the same thing with Jake Coker and Blake Sims(who is in the same mold as King) and were very successful. This isn’t rocket science. Brady could easily customize this offense for a guy like King. Having said that I’ve watched plenty of his film and have seen him make a lot of throws in tight spots. I have no clue what you are talking about. How can you say he would be super limited as a passer in the SEC? The majority of SEC teams can’t fricking defend the spread at all especially with a running QB and a 64% passer. He would be on a team with phenomenal talent and receivers getting wide open. You could almost say he might have more success with the talent around him

So not gonna get into the king vs Brennan argument but with the new rules, from my understanding, any transfer counts against this recruiting class. If we sign 25, can't bring in a transfer.

Because they are idiots with nothing better to do:).

You probably thought Lamar Jackson should play running back.

Lol you're absolutely insane. I've never said a bad word about Esminger on this board and asked you a simple question. Purely wondering why you bizarrely go out of your way to discredit Brady at every chance and you're bringing up Esminger was a great QB at LSU which has frick all to do with him as an LSU coach. Hope you keep getting the BBQ invites buddy.

Meanwhile LSU will offer Brady a huge contract when he isn't even the brains behind the operation!

quote:

---

Actually, junior, Steve Ensminger hates the limelight, which is why he told Ed O to nominate his good friend and colleague Joe Brady for the Broyles Award. As it was Steve Ensminger through his friendship with Joe Brady who lobbied Ed O to hire Joe Brady, and for that, I shall forever be grateful. As unlike you who not only tries to steal all of the glory Steve Ensminger deserves but also never misses an opportunity to attempt to vilify him at the same time, I, on the other hand, and unlike you, respect Steve Ensminger immensely. Cause without Steve Ensminger being Ed O's general of the offense, as Ed O loves to call him, LSU's offense would still be stuck in the Dark Ages. And never mind the fact that Steve Ensminger is also one of the best QBs to ever play for LSU. Do me a favor, junior, go bore someone else to death with your immense stupidity. I don't need any more brain damage from the likes of you.

---

Now I want to preface this with I love Steve Ensminger and his love for LSU. But, if what you say is true, why did Steve wait a few years to do all of this coaching up and offense expansion? Was he worried about it being unfair to the rest of the nation?

quote:

---

Athletes don't throw 36TD's and 3000k yds in a year by accident.

---

Probably had something to do with freshmen wrs, freshmen rbs, young and inexperienced OL, brand new qb that had zero work with team prior, overall zero returning offensive production in 2018...and a new OL coach.

I think that about sums it up. I'm guessing though that this is just excuses to your type.
