Im not a fan of Chambliss either. I mean he's obviously better than what he had this year but he isnt a great passer at all. He is a gamer though. I wouldnt be mad if we got him, just kinda neutral.
Kinda neutral on Chambliss after what he accomplished year one at Ole Miss in the SEC coming from a D-2 school is hilarious.

1st in the SEC in pass yards per game in games started (295.7)

7th in cmp%, but 3 guys ahead of him have 12 TDs to 5 ints, 11 TDs 9 ints, and 15 TDs to 12 ints). The cmp% is within 1% point of them.


6th in TD passes per start (1.7 per start)

First in ints thrown (3)

2nd in YPA (9.1)

2nd in QB rating (157.59)


One caveat. Chambliss only had one cupcake to truly rack up scores. He was the backup vs G St. Simmons threw for 340 and 3 TDs vs G st. I think that is easily what Chambliss would have had. And for the ones who threw more TD passes than him, only one of them wasn't on that team last year. He did that coming straight from D-2.

I saw Marcel Reed from year one to year 2 SEC
I saw Deigo Pavia from year one to year 2 SEC

Chambliss on a loaded LSU team will be a heisman contender. He's that good.

That's perfectly fine, with LSU's defense and skill players. With a competent O-line, we don't need and elite QB to make the playoffs. Maybe to win a natty, but if you're expecting that next year, you have put the cart a mile ahead of the horse.

Brotha he led Ole Miss to 5 straight scoring drives (35 points) against UGA an hung 34 on Oklahomas defense in which nobody else has done all year.

Kiffin Turned him into a Heisman caliber QB in year 1. Don’t you think he’d be even better with another year under Lane?

And don’t yall even act like he didn’t have a Heisman level season because if Chambliss would have been wearing an Ohio State, Alabama or Georgia jersey this year with those same numbers, he’d be in New York right now and you know it.

Right. He even finished 8th in Heisman voting this year.

I'm not sure what people want. He seems the safest even if someone might have more potential.

Chambliss looked every bit elite against UGA at UGA. And at Oklahoma. Two playoff teams. He is an excellent running and did very well throwing while moving outside the pocket. Y'all skeptics need a reality check. I suggest you go re-watch some of our QB play this year.

Their competition level was shite this year.


Ole Miss played three top 10 defenses, per SP+: OU #3, UGA #6, LSU #9

His team scored 31 points per game

He averaged 353 total yards per game in those 3

Idk man, seems like he’s pretty fricking good to me

Terrible take. Finished 8th in Heisman without even playing in the first 2 games. Also still looked good against Georgia and OU, two teams in the field
