re: I’m well documented being anti O, but that was a nicely called game.

they did run a few plays together. you missed it

moot

Etling is an average QB - maybe a little better than average. We used to say all we needed to beat Bama was a good offensive coordinator and a serviceable QB. Well, we have both, and Bama beat us in a game that wasn’t very competitive.

Now, what’s the new narrative? If we had Deshaun Watson we’d win.

Well, no shite!

I'm just glad we have Penrod around to keep us grounded.

O didn’t really do much. He just stood there without a headset and clapped. Canada and Aranda should get the kudos

Penrod the guy lauding our WR depth this preseason & the guy that says Darrell Williams isn't an NFL caliber player.

He's also saying our QB is above average

Guy knows talent

He is an idiot then. Russell Gage is a tough SOB but he is not the caliber of receiver we are used to seeing at LSU.

Chark is a great at getting vertical with his speed but he isn't tough enough to or a good enough route runner to work the underneath & intermediate areas.

The guy I was impressed with last night was Stephen Sullivan. He played physical & made tough catches in traffic. Etling should have looked his way more when Alabama matched up in man coverage.

Etling just didn't have what it takes to win against good/great competition. He has physical & mental limitations. Everyone sees the lack of arm strength but his mental errors are ultimately cost the team last night. Missing wide open checkdowns, missing underneath routes that had been cleared out by vertical routes, grossly inaccurate on numerous throws but worst of all he gets happy feet in the pocket. He feels pressure at times when there is no pressure there. His pick was a predetermined throw that should have never been made. Last night should have been a one possession game with a chance for the Tigers to win if the quarterback had better accuracy & decision making.

you have zero fricking information to back this claim. You have no idea what he does and does not do. you're just a simple little ranter who has all the answers

Sure he does...O has publicly acknowledged this...he is head cheerleader most the time and his headset battery was at 99% after the game.

Etling's failure to get the ball to Chark accurately was our downfall.

I won't get into Chark's inability to read the ball in the air, but this was our biggest problem last night

Chark is body catcher. He has to cradle the ball into his body to make catches. That in itself causes problems when he has to make a difficult catch or high point a pass. It's the truth. That's why I said Etling should have gone more to Sullivan downfield against man coverage. Sullivan showed his ability to pluck the ball out of the air early on with just using his hands. He made 2 really nice catches which showcased just how strong his hands are. Going forward Sullivan needs to be more involved. He is the truth.
