re: Old JaMarcus

Not one of those teams had a defense like Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas in 06

Flynn actually started against 3 of the top 5 defenses in the country (OSU, VT, AU)and was 3-0 with about 720 yards 8 TDs (1 of which was rushing) and only 2 interceptions. Nice try though.

First off, if you've followed the thread, I'm not a Flynn over Jamarcus guy. I'm just not calling Jamarcus the best QB ever at LSU. But....

so what youre saying is those were good games by flynn's standards, even though they generally amounted to average games by russell's standards, right?

---

I'm saying the Flynn led the team to big victories of top 10 opponents (Miami, VT, OSU). His stats don't matter because once you're up by 30 you can call the dogs off. Maybe it was Flynn's presence in the huddle, maybe he checked to the right running plays, maybe he ran for TD's and improvised and made plays (shovel pass to Hester).

and you still havent addressed the original reason this was even brought up: russell with a concussion >>>> flynn 100% healthy

---

I have said this several times and showed that in 2005, many said that JR had a hurt wrist, so that's his excuse for playing bad in some games. In 2006 vs UT, you say he had a concussion, and he did not have a good game. Flynn played one series in that game. But when Flynn was healthy (Miami, MsST, VTEch, OSU are the only games he was 100%) he was better than a hurt Jamarcus.

its no different than flynn severly underthrowing a receiver like in the kentucky or alabama games

I've never said that Flynn was the best QB in LSU history. Flynn was above avg./ good.

Ohio State's regular season average opponent ranked 60th in scoring offense, and that doesn't include Youngstown St.

(OSU, VT, AU)




you honestly think that they had better defenses then Florida 2006, Auburn 2006, Tennessee 2006, and Arkansas 2006?

Last year was a down year for defenses in the SEC

i know for a fact that the ACC's offenses were very week last year

---

maybe not VT but AU and OSU yes. i don't recall Tennessee or Arkansas as having great defenses, but they did have good offenses. and AU in 06 appeared great against us but got torched in some games, it wasn't any better overall than it was last year. however, florida's defense in 06 was better than all of the above.

yea, they had some injuries after our game though. I hate playing auburn early in the year. I like it when its later because it seems like a bigger game

Arkansas had a pretty talented defense in 2006, but they were always on the field

i'm not saying they didn't have a great defense, i just don't think it was the best. In 2006, I think Florida had the best. I think 2007 was a down year for college football

we also had to play all those 2006 teams on the road

you can tell how bored i am because i actually looked all those teams up myself.

The wifey is out for a few hours so I've got some play time on td.com

I don't think that UF in 2006 was any better than we were last year,

there defense was way worse this year, but Tebow was pretty damn good.
