Would you not agree that Eason has more raw talent than Etling?

Yes

Would you also not agree that players make the biggest jump between their freshman and sophomore years?

Yes. But Etling is almost the equivalent of a freshman for LSU. Last year was his first year ever starting here. Yes, he had Purdue experience, but he hadn't started a game in almost 3 years.

So equating his progression to the normal Junior-Senior progression is not really applicable.


I have no issuse with Eason being a few spots ahead of Etling, but based on actual production 40 spots isnt logical.

This ranking is more based on what we perceive Eason to be based on recruiting rankings, and what we perceive Etling to be based on LSU qbs in recent past. That is my point
