re: Can we now admit there should be an open QB battle under the new regime?

I said the same thing. But when he changed for jefferson it was to implement the option read which worked

never?

No. Has he played better games? Absolutely. But Blaine Gabbert has played better games than Tom Brady before. Doesnt mean he was ever better

Okay, but it was 99% on OL.


nope

half of those pressures/sacks were on Etling for holding the ball too long

But our receivers were sooooo open all the time.

Etling is your long hanging fruit.

Couldn't agree with you more that next year it should be a TRUE wide-open competition for QB.

Etling has proved to be an adequate QB but I truly don't think he is the QB to beat Bama and I thought that prior to Saturday. But he is one tough SOB, because he got pounded Saturday.

The reality is until our 0-line becomes more physical whoever you have behind center is going to have a difficult time unless he is really fast.

Chark is the only WR that can get open constantly

Think DeSean had 1 target

Etling is much better than Harris. It isn't even close

Etlings stats against the likes of buttfricking afwul Mizzou, Auburn, Buttfricking awful ole miss, buttfricking awful Southern Miss, and Bama

Harris stats against a full sec season, plus auburn and a great Miss State his freshman year, plus Wisky from this year

54% 7.8 y/a 20tds 10ints 134 Rating

etling has already reached his max potential

i'd like to see BH under a different regime, to be honest...dunno, it just feels like any qb at LSU the last few years has been hamstrung in his development with these guys trying to coach them up. basically, cam sucks

Harris under Herman makes it move

I think Harris is done at LSU. I know this is a topic for a different thread, but just have that feeling.

There needs to be an open battle at every OLine position Don't care who the qb is until that is fixed

SPOT ON! You can't run the ball, and you certainly can't throw the ball if the OL is getting blown away at the point of attack.

DE missed 2-3 passes Sat night, no doubt, but he was constantly under pressure and was likely expecting pressure on those misses, and did not set his feet to make good throws. I also think he was worried about making that big mistake, a turnover leading to Bama points. OFF Coord/OL did nothing to allow LF or DE to get into any type of rhythm.
