why cant we find a qb?

refreshing new topic

Will you people go away?

long effect from the miles era

Brennan. Narcisse.

That would take actual effort.

LSU doesn't produce many. When we get one or two, they usually stink. When we go out of state for QBs - it's really hit or miss.

LSU has had a QB problem for a long, long time.

Name the "better than good to great" LSU QBs since Herb Tyler:

Etling (Purdue, Indiana kid)
Mett (UGA, JUCO - Georgia kid)
Flynn (Texas kid)
Russell (Bama kid)
Davey (Florida kid)
Mauk (Baseball, Indiana kid)

Two transfers, 1 baseball reclamation project, and 3 "steals" - ALL 6 from other states.

How many "meh" Louisiana QBs have we tried during that same almost 20 year period?

At least a half dozen, plus throw in a few Andrew Hatches Jarrett Lees here and there (whom we should thank for being there when we needed them).

ecause we aren't actively looking in this recruiting year. We have two studs to choose from next year

And that's a mistake if true.

No top school defers recruiting a QB because they assume who they already have will pan out and future QBs will sign with them. We can't make assumptions. There's no reason to not add a QB in every class.

QBs are better at hiding

I agree and I don't know how we break the chain of 2 or 3, then none, then 2, then none, then 3, then none.

Because when you sign 3, you end up with 1 transfer, minimum, often 2. Now, if you can convince ONE elite kid that he can come in, eat, study, work on academics, work out, watch film, run the scout team for a year, then he will be THE guy for his class going forward, certainly his job to lose as a junior/senior, that seems more professional than signing 3 and saying, "You 3 will fight it out and the losers go to the Sunbelt/MAC."
