re: Is the qb situation at LSU finally heading in the right direction?

TBD.
On the one had it doesn't appear LSU is going to have to turn the reigns over to a young, inexperienced guy next season. But on the other hand, the reason Burrow is LSU's starter this year is because the coaching staff had little to no trust in next year's presumed starter. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made a push to sign Burrow AFTER 2018 spring practice.
Aside from that, the QB situation looks no different than in previous years. Even under Miles LSU consistently signed 4 star QB's (same as Brennan, Parrish and the two current commits). None of those guys really panned out.
So I think it's premature to definitively say the situation is headed in the right direction. It very well could be. But you could have said the same thing in 2014, 2015, etc., etc. All we know for sure is that the QB situation in 2019 looks solid.

The issue isn't this year.
Next year has the potential to be a complete train wreck if Brennan turns out to not be an answer.
So. We need to hope that he IS the answer because reality is, even good college QBs don't typically arrive ready to go as true freshman.
Sure. We see exceptions, but we can't RELY on exceptions.

Your own words encouraged discussion of Etling on this topic. Sorry that his inclusion doesn't fit your narrative.
My own words were "This is the first season since Mett that there hasn't been huge concern at the position."
I'll take your bait.... I purposely did not include DE's name because I did not want to disrespect your son and speak of his limited attributes as a qb.
I was not a fan of Matt Canada but did give him props being he was able to mask the overwhelming weaknesses of Danny Etling as a qb, when he played at LSU.
To Danny Etling's defense I believe he had a back injury which limited his abilities as a qb. However in all seriousness Danny Etling could not keep a starting job at Pitt and did not bring a overwhelming confidence for most LSU fans regarding the qb position at LSU.
I told you, you were smarter than me. I totally fell for your troll you got me, you win. Just what I get for trying to start something positive.
I'm out going to plow my wife y'all have fun.

No troll intended.
My point was that LSU's QB situation hasn't been a complete catastrophe as some perceive. We've lacked a practical and consistent offensive QB philosophy and, more importantly for the purposes of this thread, time and development for our underclass signees.
It appears we're finally moving in that direction with the prospective transition between Burrow --> Brennan --> Parrish.

LSU has a QB that proved to be remotely competent,
LMAO Burrow throws for over 2500 yards, runs for another 400 and leads LSU to a 10 and 3 record. All this behind a makeshift offensive line, and in the SEC. And he is remotely competent.
After this I realized litigating anything else you put in this post would be like litigating morality with an uneducated sociopath.

That being said the team seems to be building solid depth behind Joe Burrow. We commin!
Burrow proved last season he is a very competent QB. Threw for 2800 yards and ran for another 400, leading team to a 10 and 3 record and New Year Six bowl game that LSU won. Anybody who thinks LSU is not set at the QB position for 2019 is ignorant.
Brennan had a very good Spring game and his weight went up from 183 his freshman season to 207 during the spring. He is being groomed to be the starter and by the time he is the starter in 2020 he will have 3 years of college behind him. He will be ready to lead LSU for 2020 and 2021. He is a more gifted QB than Burrow and will show his ability this season.
There's questions concerning the 2022 season only because LSU doesn't have someone groomed for that year. But with Peter Parish coming in and Max and TJ coming for the 2021 season, I think LSU will have some players capable of taking over after Brennan leaves. So yea, the QB situation is headed in the right direction.

I think that LSU looks good at QB for the future. This is the first time in recent memory that this is the case.

Well this season will get to see how this staff is at developing quarterbacks with how Burrow progresses from last season to this season.
Oh give me a break.
Burrow was a finished product when he got to Baton Rouge as a college graduate developed by the one of the best QB gurus in CFB history.
The only thing he lacked was game experience and familiarity with his teammates and system.
Burrow is going to ball out this year because he is a natural born QB and leader and he was always going to improve from year 1 as a starter to year 2.
This staff won’t prove their development skills until 2020 and only the most shameless shills would try to claim otherwise.

We signed and had commitments and built depth behind mett too. We kind of said the same shite then.
Rt now, I have no idea how it will go after burrow. E is the OC. He helped evaluate and recruit the previous guys everyone shits on.
Randal, Rivers, Retig, Jennings, Harris. And even after with Etling, Brennan, narcisse, and Scott.
People at times were high on all of those guys.

Miles and his staff did not evaluate QB's very well. It is a very difficult position to evaluate, but they were really bad. I mean, missing on Prescot? Questionable. But, it is difficult to evaluate. But LSU is a school where you'd expect them do a lot better job than what they have been. I think they hit the jackpot with Brennan and Burrow.

Ed has repeatedly said that Brennan will be a championship QB for LSU. I believe it.

However there is still no one on staff that has proven they can develop a QB, so keep that in mind.
Proven no, but Brennan looked light years better in the spring game than he did last year

He definitely was improved. I'm going to hold off on my final judgment though until I see him in a couple real games. We've had a lot of spring game warriors over the years that have flopped when the season came around.

He’s finally in an offense he’s comfortable with.
ETA: It fits his strengths, also. Short, quick passes. And he has the arm to thread the needle, or put touch on it when needed.

He’s a practice team QB.
Let’s not make that anymore than what it is.
Including practice squad QBs there are at best a little over 100 NFL QBs. On average around 10-15 new QBs a year make the practice squad/NFL.
Know who can no longer make a practice squad at 27? Mettenberger. Know what most people expect Burrow's value to be?
Quit diminishing the kid's accomplishments with dumbass statements.
