How do you convert third-downs at a high rate? Set yourself up on first and second down. Gain positive yards and get up the field. much easier to convert 3rd & 4 than 3rd & 10.
What bothered me most about McMillan on Saturday was that he missed at least two short, easy throws. Stuff that should be automatic. You can't take things like that for granted and it's one reason why I don't think he will win the job.

NFL francize Mister D. Etling is currently employed by? I forgot
Not saying he will be employed but the draft isn’t until Thursday and he will then be called to go somewhere as an undrafted free agent. By your logic we shouldn’t listen to what DJ Chark says or Guice says because they are also currently unemployed.

No, if McMillan was going to transfer he would've done it by now
Why? This year was always going to be his first year to have a legitimate shot to start.

Roll with one of the other two and you have McMillan as the backup even if one decides to transfer.
So you start a guy that may give you less of a chance to win because you want to have a backup the next year? How does that make sense? If O doesn’t win this year there may not be a next year. You play the best for this season worry about the next season then.

So O is not supposed to play the best qb in order to protect feelings from getting hurt? That's one of the stupidest things I've read on here.

No, he's not supposed to play McMillan because he will not be the best QB. All of the other stuff I laid out was in the case that the decision was a toss up between 3 equal options, which in my opinion it will not be.

So O is the driving force behind the offense as well as QB selection. What does he know about offense? NOTHING AT ALL, NOTHING AND MORE NOTHING!!!
It just blows my mind when I stop to think that LSU actually hired this egg head as our head coach!!!!

O will start whoever plays it conservative and safe.

This is not a suprise. This is why Etling continued to start last year when we were out of any kind of running for the sec. Same reason Mcmillan will start this year. Orgeron cares more about the future of Orgeron than he does the future of LSU. If JM gets LSU 8 wins this year, Orgeron is safe. However if he starts LN or MB and they only win 5 or 6 games, his future is in clear jeapardy even though it would prob bode better for LSU next year for those guys to have starting exp. AKA, O is coaching for his job now and assuring us consistent mediocrity, that he can blame on our tough schedule.

I honestly believe at this point they trust JM more... I think MB or LN is the long term answer. But the QB cannot turn the ball over, if you can't win it don't lose it. JM is the guy O trusts right now.
Posted on 4/24/18 at 9:20 am to Zanzibaw
Well how do you know JM isn't the best? I think O will play the best one and if it's JM then he is the best of the three. His job depends on winning and the playing the best qb is critical to winning.
Posted on 4/24/18 at 9:24 am to tigerskin
We still have a long way to go.
But, if you had to choose someone today, it's clearly McMillan.

I don't have a crystal ball and nobody else does either. In my opinion this doesn't end with JM being the best option. We can all argue about it or we can just wait and see who takes the first snap in Dallas. I don't think it will be JM, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

If McMillan starts you risk having both of the other guys transfer leaving you super duper fricked for years to come.

This whole QB problem needs to be transformed into a process. (I know....sounds like Bama) If JM wins the starting QB spot, it could be the start of normalism. (made up word). But, what I mean, is that just like other positions, there needs to be a couple years of learning, before a QB starts. Most successful teams groom their starter for a couple years and then give him the reigns. I realize a lot of teams (Bama and UGA included) have been forced, like us, to start freshmen at QB. That's not the ideal situation though. It's done out of desperation due to poor QB play. If he earns it during the summer and fall, let's give JM our full support and start developing QBs the way we're supposed to, instead of looking for a "Savior" qb who's not quite ready. We need to change our mindset.

Still think Orgeron started JM in the spring game so he can keep Brennan and Narcisse battling, keep the media from naming Brennan the clear cut starter, and avoid Narcisse transferring out before the season starts. I think Orgeron believes what Kiffen told him that a dual threat QB is most likely to beat Alabama so he wants Narcisse to stay and develop rather than say fvck it and transfer before the season.
Orgeron knows the RB and WR core are taking steps backwards this year from the talent LSU usually has at skill positions so a running QB in the offense would help offset not having a workhorse RB like we've had for several years.

If the non starters leave then we didn't want them anyway. Shows no.loyality.No heart. No team love. And no desire to get better and compete Tiger Bait

Wrong. First, I don’t see how JM leaving is a huge minus for this team. Second, if either MB or LN start all year, you’ll have one with two to three years of eligibility left, the other transfers, and in those two to three years you’ll be coaching up another quarterback to take their place.
