Saying that he is the best LSU QB since Matt Flynn (which many LSU posters have said) is not a very good title to hold, as LSU QB's have been abysmal over the past few years.


Do people think he is better than Mettenberger? Interesting.

Of course they don't. He just made that up.

Why do people have this impression that Etling isn't good or doesn't have talent? He was a 4 star recruit with almost the exact same grade as Jameis Winston coming out of high school (Winston 84, Etling 83) and was rated much higher than bamas last 2 QBS (coaker 75, Hurts 80). He's started all but 1 game since he's been at LSU and he didn't travel with the team for that game cause of injury. Since miles was fired his numbers are very good better than Flynn and way better than Jalen Hurts.

Etling clearly doesn't have the arm talent of Mett. The comparison to Flynn comes with the way he spreads the ball around.

Danny is targeting 7-9 different receivers each game by checking down to tight ends and dump offs to running backs.

As of late, LSU hasn't had a QB routinely throw to the tight end since Richard Dickson was here. The LSU QB's have rarely thrown to anyone outside of the top two receivers for years now.

Perhaps the past 3 games were fools gold, but the LSU offense as a whole has actually been exciting again to watch.
