because DE sucks out loud.

So a 60.3% completion rate, a 7/1 TD to INT ratio and a 155 passer rating suck out loud? You may as well give up being a fan, 'cause in your world no one can measure up.

Only two QBs in the SEC had higher ratings, and Etling finished in the top 15 in the country.

Sucked out loud? No.

Could he have been better? Absolutely, but to say he sucked out loud is just idiocy.

Sir I know you are a better fan than I & an elite poster. However you are not properly equipped to have a battle of wits with anyone apparently.

DE's impressive numbers are only proof that Canada knows how to hide certain deficiencies in his offense. DE #'s are deceiving point blank. DE flat out cost us the Bama game missing wide open receivers running wild like no LSU fan has seen in years against Bama. LSU beat Bama up and down the field on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The only thing missing was a qb with decent arm strength and accuracy to hit wide open receivers down field.

I know this is hard for you to accept but seriously. DE's numbers are a credit to Canada. DE can not put a team on his back, for me this is a requirement for a starting qb no matter where they play.

You can put stock in him if you want that's fine. You can pick him over qb's with lesser numbers that's fine as well but for me, DE is not a game changer he is a serviceable back up in most everyone's book. I'm glad the DE era is one game away from being over.

Providing you think his play is acceptable for the starting qb position at LSU because of his numbers you are delusional.

Yes at the end of the day he has nice numbers but those numbers don't tell the entire story not even a fraction of it. Providing you have time take a look here.

I never said Etling could put the team on his back and carry it to victory. You are saying that is what is required for a QB to not "suck out loud."

What I am saying is you are setting yourself up for major disappointment if that is your criteria for a QB not to "suck out loud."

Given LSU's problems with injuries to Guice and added attrition along the O-line, NO QB in the country would have been able to produce the results you seek.

I agree that Etling picked a bad day to have a bad day v. Bama, but that doesn't mean his entire season "sucked out loud."

I'm not saying he was great. I'm simply arguing that Etling did not "suck out loud" as you suggest, and the numbers support me. You choose to believe that the numbers are deceiving. That's your prerogative.

I say the numbers are a fair representation of Danny Etling. You're right. He's not a game changer, and that's what you think a QB should be. Guess what? Only a very small percentage of QBs are, in fact, game changers. Since 2000, LSU has only had 3 - Rohan, Jamarcus and Mett - and Rohan was only a game changer for 1 season.

How many championships did we win with those guys? ZERO, ZIP, NADA.

Having a game-changer is nice, but that doesn't always bring you the hardware either.

I'm sure we could have an intelligent conversation over a cold beverage. I obviously don't have the ability to communicate effectively or have the "want too" to continue the conversation online.

We could go on and on about the abilities or lack there of concerning DE. You like the kid as a starter, I hoped for someone better.

DE did put up nice numbers and didn't hurt the team with interceptions but despite his numbers DE was inconsistent at best.

LSU doesn't need a 4000 yard passer. They need a qb that can make a play consistently, compliment and sometimes reward the Defense from time to time by keeping them off the field.

What LSU doesn't need is their qb's best adjective to be "he's tough" *%#( that.

I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping we get a compliment at the position rather than hoping someone on defense can win a freaking game because we are so God awful and inconstant in the passing game. When the running attack isn't getting it done.

I will go into next season with the same hope as I did this season. That we have an improvement at the qb spot.
