I see your reasons for confidence.

These are all the qualities of a successful starting QB according to the ramp. He is the backup so he is the best option at all times.

I don't disagree with you. But I just don't see where Danny has proven to be a better option than what Jennings provided.

That's probably because the only opp he has had to prove himself was in a spring game 4 months ago.

No one with an IQ above 50 can honestly say you feel good about Harris's progression but apprehensive of Etlings after that game.

To me, neither looked above avg.

AJ isn't even here anymore.
Who cares ?

Harris and etling are the relevant ones on this team.

But since you drug Harris into the conversation, his game against Florida last year is better than anything either Danny or Anthony Jennings has ever shown. It doesn't matter, Harris is the starter, clearly. Danny is the back up, and Anthony plays for ull.

By the way, I didn't start this thread. It's a dumb thread. Take that up with the Op

He's not "trying to make the team", he left to be a starting QB.

For reference, the last Big Ten transfer QB we had was Rob Bolden, who also had a not so hot freshman season. He ended up at Eastern Michigan.

I'm not saying Etling will be a bad QB by any means, I think he's one of the better backup options in the SEC. I'm just saying you can't point to his time at Purdue to say he is going to be definitively better than what we've seen at LSU the last couple of years.

Dude earned starting job with a shitty Big 10 team yes but also was a 4 star when recruited he must have some sort of talent. As far as his interviews the dude sounds like he knows what's up and looks confident when and if he plays.

Plus I didn't think he looked all that bad in spring game

I don't give a rats arse who's in the minority or majority, I just want the best QB LSU has to start and win games. He can be red, white and brown for all I care, Jesus Christ, get the f... over the racial bullshite. If they are practicing together and take classes at LSU then they are Tigers!
I just hope they both excel this year and for the rest of their lives, Geaux Tigers!

Man, long gone are the days of Russell/Flynn/Perilloux

Now it's: average at LSU/terrible at Purdue/don't know but probably the best QB on the team
