What exactly were they supposed to do. We have 5 QBs on scholarship and only one can play.

This kid was astounding in high school, put up ridiculous yards and production comes to LSU and doesn't get on the field.
every QB on a division 1 scholarship put up big number sin high school

Lol I think it's just inexcusable, any other school would have played thid kid,
no

but he sits on the sidelines at LSU and when he does play in practice games he's playing with second and third team players
someone has to be down the depth chart. Why should Scott be given preference over Brennan, Narcisse, and McMillan?
quote:
A lot of y'all are already calling for Brennan as if this kid who is also extremely talented doesn't matter.
no, people just believe that Brennan is better. He was far more sought after as a recruit, and the only people who have seen either (the coaching staff), thinks Brennan is better.

He'll jet to if he doesn't get opportunity and I don't blame him.
It's the nature of college football. Alabama had two highly recruited QBs transfer in the offseason too. Like I said, only one guy can start.

We really don't know at this point. Johnson received an offer from FSU and other teams followed suit. EMCC (especially at the QB position) tends to inflate certain guys actual abilities. JF3 isn't a D1 QB prospect. But he's been at FSU (Maknly because of the Cook situation) and Auburn.

Why is everyone saying he should've gone to Harvard? He was committed to Syracuse before Cam offered.
I don't think he was ever really considering Harvard.

This is funny, but I respond to it because it underscores what I have been saying:
Lindsey Scott is, by all reports, a good kid and a smart one.
His supporters on this site have been excessive and extravagant in their claims about him, which is unfair to him. When posters here call out his fans for their extravagant claims, they are "haters".
This is bizarre world.
Count me among those who do not believe Scott is over six feet tall, likely to compete for starting QB or who was accepted to Harvard. The data I have on those issues does not support your claims.
If that makes me a "hater" in your view, so be it.

No, people are opinionated and opinions do not matter in this world. A lot of y'all haven't even played organized sports at a high level, yet, you toss about opinions as if you did. Scott didn't really get a fair shake at being LSU's QB, you can blame it on depth chart and all that crap if you want to, it doesn't matter now. I wish the young man good luck in his career wherever he plays at. He deserves it.
also, as I said you play these kids and in live games I mean, that's how you do it. You don't leave a QB that is playing bad in a game and stick with him, the only way these kids are gonna get better and show they belong at this level is by playing, but obviously underneath Miles' regime he didn't believe in that. That's why you saw Etling playing in some games that he should have been pulled out of and some of these other QB's looked at. This is what other schools do when their QB isn't playing well, look at the other QB wheter he's a jr or a frosh, play them. Also, you don't know If Brennan is better, once again that's speculation. You're claim that Brennan is better is ridiculous, you're also saying he's better than Narcisse who was also highly recruited.

If you ever have a chance to go to Harvard and you don't, anything that happens to you is your damn fault.
Football players will be found no matter where they play. Not everyone gets a chance to earn a degree from Harvard.

That's an opinion, a misguided one, but an opinion all the same

so you play all 5 QBs in real games to see who is best? That's a quick way to get fired as a HC

which games?

They play freshman QBs that are 4th on the depth chart? Remember we had Harris, Etling, and McMillan all above Scott on the depth chart last year (Scott also redshirted, so not sure how they were supposed to play him last year). It was Scott's choice to transfer as well. He had 4 years of eligibility coming into this year.

I said the coaches think brennan is better. They do have the point of reference to make that determination.

I never said any of that

Agreed, the pro scouts will find you. Recent NFL starting QBs include Joe Flacco (Delaware), Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard), and Carson Wentz (North Dakota State).

good for him hope he does well

Why don"t you let Lindsey Scott do what he wants and go to school where he wants. He was given a shot at LSU and could still be there but he chose to transfer. Why try and over-analyse this.
Posted on 8/15/17 at 2:01 pm to JBREAUX4LSU
it appears the backup from last year is now playing minor league baseball, so LS should have a clear path to start.

Did I say play all 5 QB's in the same game jackass?? No I did not, just drop the debate because you haven't a clue as to what it is you're talking about, I didn't post at you anyways. Last season they didn't even have 5 QB's, so I don't know why you keep harking on that 5 QB shite. And yes, you play true frosh QB's, it happens all the time all over the college landscape. It's how you find out if they are ready for this level as I said, and some are and do really well. But just drop the debate.

I'm not even in this argument, but I counted 6 QBs on our roster last year:
Etling
Harris
McMillan
Scott
Clise
Lewis

you're misunderstanding me. I think it's fine for Lindsey to go elsewhere to get playing time - I don't blame him one bit.
My point was that his ultimate destination doesn't have to be a big-time football school. He can get noticed just about anywhere.

Why does Scott deserve the chance to see what he can do on the field and not the other 4? You said the only fair way to determine who is best is playing them in a real game. So naturally, that would seem to imply all the QBs on the roster should get live game reps.

He redshirted. Let's say he came in and sucked last year, then people like you would be hollering that we burned his redshirt unnecessarily. And no it doesn't happen all the time when you have two juniors ahead of the freshman on the depth chart and when that freshman is redshirting
quote:
It's how you find out if they are ready for this level as I said, and some are and do really well.
you don't just throw guys out there in real games and see if they work out or not. There is way too much riding to take a risk. QB battles happen in practice more time than not and for good reason. There were very few games last year where we were ahead by enough to start throwing in backup QBs for reps. Southern Miss was the only game where it would have even been feasible.
It's quite simple. Scott is transferring because Myles Brennan has surpassed him on the depth chart, and Brennan is also a freshman. He would have had the opportunity to compete for the starting job over the next 4 years but he chose to transfer in hopes of having a better chance of starting somewhere else. This was his decision. Scott, as a redshirt freshman, is not entitled to be given playing time during the season.
You have not seen him practice and have no point of reference to say he's better than any of the other QBs on the roster or more deserving of playing time. The coaches do see them in practice and their job depends on putting the best guys out there. All of this nonsense comes from Scott fanboys that think they know more than the coaches because he's a local kid that was good in high school. And I'm sorry, you don't have a QB competition during the season unless you have no choice. We have a 5th year returning senior that started last year. It shouldn't come as a shock he is getting most of the first team reps.

Practices are closed. All of these threads force us to make many assumptions. The main assumption is that everyone had a fair chance. Did they? It doesn't matter now. He's gone.

True. But at his height (at this position), he probably needs the big program
