He is ranked 21st for SR QBs. That doesn’t include JRs who are always the top QBs.

Not avoiding the question he probly won't get drafted because he's on the bubble of the QBs who will get drafted. He's moving up but he's still ranked just outside of the number usually taken. Then again these are scouting services and not NFL GMs so he could be higher or lower than he's ranked. He will get a combine invite so we'll see but you've drifted way off topic. Can you explain why he's completed more big plays than any QB in the past 18 years in only & games? How is this possible for a guy who can't stretch the field?

Because scouts say his arm is above avg to strong and he's thrown balls that have traveled over 55 yards in the air this year and last at LSU so the weak arm theory is totally false.



For all practical purposes, Etling's arm is average at best. I've seen him throw the ball far, but he has doesn't have much velocity on it when it's needed, and his deep ball passing is underthrown more often than not.

ETA - if his arm is strong, and there is evidence it may be, he doesn't really use it with any regularity at LSU. We get a QB who often appears to have a weak arm.

0% chance he gets drafted. He better be getting his resume together.

Why is he ranked so low?

And you need to provide some links to your stats because I guarantee they are misleading.

Like I know a lot of Danny’s big yardage plays come on short passes, like the D Williams play this weekend.

It should be easy enough to post the link. I googled "Danny Etling scouting report" and came up with nothing.

So did a lot of Rohan's on bubble screens to Josh Reed but that's not held against him. Sorry facts disagree with your opinion.

Love the optimism. But it's no way Etling is anything more than a live arm and camp body. He's simply not good enough.

Whatever you say. But facts presented have proven he's thrown balls over 55 yards in the air he's completed more long pass plays than any QB in the modern era at LSU and he has the third best passer rating in single season history here at LSU. Those have been countered by "he's not good" lol yea your argument is sound lol.

What am I lying about? All I've done in this thread is ask you for a link to support your assertion.

Wide receivers take poor routes and give up when Etling scrambles outside of the pocket instead of getting freed up to make a play. Offensive line needs to work on pass blocking. Etling will give up his body for the team to get the extra yard. Love him.

When you google scouting reports nothing came up. That's a lie. You and your retard butt buddies haven't produced a shred of proof to back your position I have, so you claim you can't find a site online but you can't disprove any of the other stats or facts I've presented. You don't know what you're talking about and your argument is a joke.

He was the reason we lost to Bama last year. You can say it was the Bama dline against our oline, but that was a given before the game began. Last year Etling left a number of easy plays out there. Plays that could have tipped the game into the win column.
