Give me Anthony Jennings over Nuss for crying out loud dude.



Jennings is maybe the worst quarterback to line up under center at LSU this century. Him or Andrew Hatch.

The question was who was the better QB, not who had the most stats.


I think Etling and Nuss were close. NFL agrees as both were 7th round picks. Behind a competent pass blocking line like in 2024, I think I'd give a slight edge to Nuss. Behind an abysmal OL like in 2025 (LSU ranked 99th in sacks allowed), I'd give an edge to Etling. Still, probably splitting hairs. Very comparable players, IMO.

Winning games and leading a team are about a lot more than stats. Give me Flynn over Nuss any day of the week.

think Rohan is better than Mauck but other than that it looks good


If Rohan had a playoff system, nobody’s taking down that 10-3 2001 team at the end of the year.

No real arguments on this, but Rohan was a great QB, and I don't believe younger fans realize what a role Rohan played in helping to elevate LSU as a contender in Saban's early years as coach.

Pretty damn accurate. Who are the two more to get to the top 10?

I would as well. Just don't think Flynn should be as high as #4. Was just pointing out his INT ratio compared to a contemporary who could be turnover prone.

honestly i would just leave this as a top 5 list. drop Mettenburger and Nuss completely. Lot of hype / talk about both, neither did anything of significance or got us anywhere. Then have Mauck, Flynn, and Rohan tied at 5th. All 3 great leaders, trustworthy QBs that won a title with us or with a little more help could have won a title for us (Rohan)

They are neck and neck for how bad they were.

Harris had more natural talent than Jennings, so I gave him the nod very slightly.

Nope. I take Ro over Mauck. All day long. I might take him over Jamarcus too.

The way they were playing at the end of the year was great but taking down Miami that year would have been a tall order.
