re: Etling or Brennan the rest of the way?

Playing Brennan doesnt mean you don’t care about winning the rest of your games. Why can’t Brennan beat these teams? They’re not exactly the cream of the crop in the SEC and the toughest team left is A&M which is the last game so you have 2 games to evaluate. Another reason is there is no pre season for next year and Brennan needs seasoning instead of throwing him in there with no real game experience against what will likely be a top 10 team to start next season. Etling is a 5th year Sr. transfer you’re not going to rattle him by starting Brennan. Why not start Brennan and see where he takes you but if he struggles and you get into trouble bring Etling in?

But why bench a QB that you say is one of the best in LSU history.... make up your mind.... or was Etling as great as you say he is last Sat night......

Why are you so stupid? Why are you lying about what i said? I’ve never once sUd Etling was great not once I’ve simply posted his stats and said i never complain about him as long as the production is there and that he’s not nearly as bad as idiots like you say he is. And regardless of all your bullshite moving Brennan to starter has more to do with getting him ready for next years early schedule than it does Etling but people like you can’t see that you’re too busy focusing on things that aren’t real.

Mainly because the teams we are playing are playing some inexperienced QBs as well and I don't think Etling does much more than Brennan would if Brennan was given equal playing time.. I really think we win the same if he was given a full game.. and if anything I bring Etling in only if needed.. Of course this isn't happening.. but the best way to get better is to get valuable experience.
I expect it to be Etling, and probably 2 possessions of Brennan in each game the rest of the way..

Again you’re lying people were saying he sucks and wasn’t any better than Brandon Harris so i posted the facts that Etling had the 3rd highest single season passer rating in LSU history “so far” this season and had more 40+ yard pass plays than any LSU qb in the past 30 years. Those are facts and i even added that it didn’t mean he was better than Hodson because offenses and rules are different now but still he wasn’t as bad as people were saying. You’re a liar dude stop trying to derail the thread with your bullshite.

He can’t link because it’s never been posted. He’s lying I’ve never used the word great to describe Etling and I’ve never said he was better than Tommy Hodson, in fact I said in my opinion Hodson was the best college qb LSUs ever had.

Etling hasn't really done anything to win games to this point. Any QB on the roster can hand the ball off, make quick throws, and find backs out of the backfield. DE was the primary reason the game vs. Bama wasn't closer. Anyone who thinks otherwise wasn't watching. (You could say Tolliver was another big reason. He couldn't cover Ridley to save his life.) Sure, Hurts made a couple of big plays with his legs, but DE's inability to hit receivers on 3-4 big plays killed our chances. That throw to Dillon on the 25-yd crossing pattern was awful, and those "underthrows" to Chalk were just like he's done all year.
We could win all three games without the QB doing much, so why not give Brennan plenty of playing time over the next 3 games?

Well he has made some plays thatve helped us win games but you’re absolutely right about Saturday, he missed 4 deep balls that should’ve been easy and cost us the game. If we want to beat the best teams we need to groom Brennan now.

But again you never answered the question about how many
Of those 40 yard passes were actually thrown over 40 yards....

What difference does that make? Did you ask how many bubble screens josh reed or skyler green turned into big plays? How many 3 yard passes do spread teams throw per game to boost their stats? Do you know that Drew Breese ranks in the 20s in yards traveled per pass but do people bitch about his passing numbers? That’s a typical double standard criticism where Etling is picked apart for things other QBs are praised for. He was having a fine season and Canada gave him opportunities to make plays vs Bama, he missed throws he’s made in the past and threw a pick which isn’t like him. He shrunk on the big stage he had his chance and didn’t get it done so it’s time to see what the next guy can do. Etling having a good season and playing sub par vs Bama can both be true, only extremist think otherwise.

LOL. These are all quotes by you from the same thread which I have linked for your convenience.[/quote] LINK
quote:
People who think he doesn't have an arm and isn't very good just don't know anything about the QB position and how difficult what he's doing with what he has to work with is.
quote:
As usual the majority of the Rant are 100% wrong about Etling, what he's done this year is incredible.
quote:
Lack of natural ability? Have you personally measured any of this? 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.
quote:
Probly not but he'll get a look in camp or pre season from someone.
quote:
Look stupid out of 122 possible college QBs avalible to be on NFL rosters next season he's ranked 21st. There were 12 QBs drafted this past season and more signed by teams as free agents so yes he has a chance to make a roster. People like you are simply ignorant and don't even know what you're talking about.
quote:
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?
quote:
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.
quote:
Etling has the 3rd highest single season passer rating in LSU history and has completed more big pass plays in 8 games than Rohan, Mauck, Jruss or Mettenberger had in their best seasons, those are facts disprove them or Stfu about it.
quote:
Without Etling we are a 2 win team right now.
quote:
Yet only 1 of 8 opposing QBs have outplayed him. As usual the anti-Etling argument has a total of zero facts to support it and relies solely on the expert opinion of the Rants QB coaches and gurus.
quote:
Etling is much more talented than Mauck and it’s not even close.
quote:
Yea and it’s really not close. Put Etling on the 03 team and he sets every passing record at LSU
quote:
Flynn was a dog and Etling is more efficient than Mauck he was also about 200 spots higher on the recruiting board. Do you realize the talent differential from a 4 to a 2 star athlete?

If putting him in now and possibly losing the remaining games is the difference berween Brennan being 100% ready for game 1 next year and him not being ready, I say put him in.
Coaches really don't think about next year. Coaches are only concerned with winning the next game. The main reason Orgeron puts him in THIS year is to see if he can take the job and run with it and that he has some meaninful snaps under his belt if Etling gets hurt THIS year. He's played fairly well but hasn't done anything to warrant taking the job from Etling. He'll get all the reps he needs for next year in Spring and Summer camps.
