Maybe coach O let BH comes in to mop up or takes a knee in the last series if we are up good but I doubt it with a high scoring Mizzou team we play. So not a chance in hell to see BH in this week game.

I don't think we necessarily see a "new offense", some things will be different but gah damn its week 5 and we have two really tough defenses to prepare for. The most interesting thing moving forward is if we get a guy like Herman or Jimbo and what that will do to the QB race in the offseason.

What are you talking about? His comrades?

Ask an honest person if, for many, the race of the QB is important, they would admit yes.

I say without a doubt, bull fricking shite. Now, ask an honest person if all races are clanish and racist towards other races, they would admit yes. But skin color doesn't determine who is starting at qb. This isn't 1958.


Look, two things.
1. This is sports discussion. Keep the fricking race card bullshite out of it. It does not belong here and is unnecessary.

2. If you think you can judge a person's character based off of reading his/her reply on a message forum, you need to grow up. Like I said, get off the computer and deal with people face to face more. Because you take this shite WAY too seriously if that's what you really think. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were just talking out of your arse and don't really think that.

So you're admitting you and a few other folks are throwing out the good ol' "oppressed race card".


Is that opinion lazy at best or borderline racism? That's what (racism) you and your folks are angling for here.

It is amazing that someone on a football board could say this - might expect it at a sewing circle.

Get the frick out of here with that stupid shite.

15/27 for 118 yards 1td 1fumble rating of 104.5 vs Auburn



I know I know, Etling "looks better". Well, the "look" isnt actually amounting to better play

Flynn and Mauck were eerily similar in size, skills, and stats. To say Etling compares well to these guys is fair. Granted the small sample size


Etling compares well to Flynn and Jefferson. Mauck was much more efficient/accurate.

What's wrong with any of what I've said?


Oh, by the way,his is the rant. Not the PT board. We're talking football here and not politics.
But, no matter what the conversation is or where it's taking place, one's true colors will always shine through, just like yours have.

You just proved my point about the QB position at LSU. It's not about who's better, with you people. No. It's always about a white vs. black issue with you people. Keep you're oppressed racist "pc" self on the PT board if you want to talk politics. One more thing, don't put words in my mouth, you racist POS.

What? I asked you to clarify you statement. I specifically said that it may not be racially motivated but it didn't look good and spelled out my reasons.

It was also Etling's first start on the road. At Auburn, at night. That is a tough atmosphere to make your first road appearance. I expect him to be more prepared in the swamp.

justjm2 or whatever came in like a bat out of hell, but otherwise I don't believe anyone has suggested this.

I'm simply asking what someone means when they say we need more QBs like Mauck/Flynn/Mett. Fair enough question, no? There is certainly no immediate football reason to group those 3 together, so I'm interested in what it means.

Well that isn't entirely true. He has missed plenty of passes.

And I'm a fan of Etling, but maybe O and Ensminger can reach Harris better? Maybe call better plays that fit him?

I haven't completely given up on Harris and Etling hasn't exactly won the starting job 100% IMO





I have to agree, if Ensminger throughout a zone-read high school offense, id put Harris in there, you make things simple that guy can play.. Etling has done OK and does some things better than Harris.. But lets not just Trash Harris, that sob threw the rock at Parkway and put up some numbers... he is talented, hes not Jordan Jefferson..

Although I would say Id stick with Etling and try some new things, but Id have a quick trigger on everyone, i think they have to understand that they need to play with more energy and enthusiasm that we have all come to expect, Thats one of the things that seperates Saban and Harbaugh from everyone else. the Expecation is always there and they arent afraid to sit anyones arse on the bench to get their attention.. Thats why they arent seen as "players coaches" they are seen as Disciplinarians... Coaches players are generally more soft and get complacent.. I want that a-hole diciplined and busting someones arse everyday... Just be relentless

Didn't look good to who? You and your fishing expedition?

This is a message board. Most people will have differing opinions. It doesn't look good to me in that all you and a couple of others are trying to do is play the race card here because on QB is white and the other is black, and I've spelled out my reasons.

0-1
Etling is 2-1. Both have one loss. Kinda Hard for Harris to have 2 wins when he only plays 1 game

Drop back qbs vs dual threat qbs. Rohan Davey was a great drop back passer, even though he was lauded as a dual threat originally. Same with Jamarcus.

Matt Flynn had a dual threat quality about him but was eventually molded into drop back. Same with Mauck.

See how when you actually get into the sports talk that skin color is a meaningless detail?

I'm not sure why that continues to be so outlandish to people. Etling plays smoother than Harris, but the actual results on the field are not markedly better. For all his superior pocket presence and accuracy, Etling has completed 56.3% of his passes thus far this year. Harris has completed 52% this year and is a 53.9% guy for his career at LSU.

All of those good vibes and presence that Etling brings doesn't give him a stranglehold on the position when it isn't materializing on the field.
