re: Etling or Brennan the rest of the way?

Somewhere between these two. I'd like Canada to do 2 scripts - one script for the first drive and 1 script for the first or second drive of the second quarter, with that being specifically for Brennan. That cuts down on any "thought" business - the plays are already called - all Brennan has to do is confirm the call and count off his sheet.
That gives him starter-quality reps, with the 1s against 1s, in a meaningful way.
Now - you say, "What if the game is close?" What about it? If the game is close because we're trading TDs with Arky, for example, then you have to leave Danny in.
If we're deadlocked, WTF not try a change of signal caller for a series - when it isn't a pull situation, just a preprogrammed player development move.
What am I missing?

You’re right from what we’ve seen Brennan attacks more and pushes the ball downfiekd more effectively showing more arm talent and aggressive style. Vanilla Vick is almost too careful most of the time but has a complete grasp of the offense and almost never turns it over. It’s your typical young talented qb vs the battle axe between the ears less talented veteran. If you can beat the next two opponents with Brennan there’s no reason not to play him, otherwise his redshirt was pulled for nothing.

DE should be the starter for the remaining games but if any of those games are well in hand, MB should get some meaningful snaps.

Etling gives LSU the best shot at going 9-3 this season.
Etling for this reason. 9-3 likely gets us a NY6 bowl with a shot to have a 10 win season. That'd be a successful season.
If Bama and Georgia win out then both will probably make playoffs meaning LSU would have the best record and team left in the SEC for bowl committee to pick from.

Auburn only 2 losses and ranked in the top 10.

I hope that they drop like a rock when bama beats them. We should win out strong and pole vault them at the end if all goes well.

Saw Joel Klatt today saying LSU shouldn’t be ranked and Auburn’s too high. He saying us and Auburn are getting unfair treatment to make Bama look better. But then he showed his cards by crying about how Michigan is being mistreated. He’s always on Harbaughs jock so the whole shitting on the SEC was really about his love for Harbaugh.

They still play Bama and Georgia. If they lose those games like they're supposed to LSU easily ranked ahead of them again
Edit to add that's fact not opinion ftr. 3-loss lsu will be ranked ahead of 4-loss auburn who lost to lsu. most likely scenario this season is lsu finishes in 3rd place in sec behind 13-0 Bama and 12-1 Georgia

Not bad for a first year head coach and offensive coordinator. We should finish strong and get a great bowl game. If we win that in convincing fashion, I could see a finish in the top 10 possibly.

I’m not going to continue with your personal BS. Besides the dishonesty you’re missing the entire point i was trying to make about Brennan playing now. It’s not about not having confidence in Etling it’s about getting Brennan ready now. There is no “pre-season” schedule for us next year, we start with an on the rise probable top 10 ranked Miami squad and have to travel to Auburn in week 3. The question is do we want Brennan facing a very good defense with no real game experience right out of the gate and do we think Brennan is good enough to beat Arky and Tenn. It has nothing to do with Danny Etling.

Another thing to think about is though we are playing in dumpster fires the last 3 regular season games...there is still going to be a very good team that we will have to beat in a bowl game. Do we continue to keep DE sharp as the starter with significant playing time and likely not have him at 100% for the bowl game? Or does Brennyn finally take over the starting job due to getting closer to his higher ceiling because of getting actual game experience and practice with the 1's during the break between the last season game and the bowl?

This season is done - time for 2018. Brennan should take every snap. No difference to me if we go 9-3 or 6-6.
Posted on 11/9/17 at 12:16 pm to Spankem
Why? Narcisse will inevitably be the quarterback next season? We don't need to let Narcisse'backup start over Etling. Indeed, let Etling enjoy his final season. He deserves to start for the rest of the season. He's human too.

Moreover, if we finish 6-6, the O haters will never shut up.

Brennan needs meaningful time to get ready to be the guy next year. How you manage that with letting Etling finish out his career in his last 4 games is why the coach makes the big bucks.
Who made Brennan the guy next season? You? Give me a a break. You don't have a clue if he will be the starter next season or not. God I hope not because virtually all championship teams have mobile quarterbacks and Brennan isn't nearly mobile enough, plus he is skinny as a rail.
I'm sure if O considered Brennan to be the heir apparent he would already be starting, but obviously coach O doesn't view Brennan as being the heir apparent the same way you naively do.

I think you don't understand. Great receivers have the ability to make average signal callers look great.
Posted on 11/10/17 at 2:13 pm to Spankem
Etling with Brennan getting a good chunk of meaningful reps if able.
