LSU's weak QB, Danny Etling, in last weekends scrimmage against LSU's elite first-team defense was 13 - 22 with three touchdowns.

Stidham won't pass for any touchdowns when he comes to Baton Rouge this season. Not with the immense pressure, LSU's defense will unleash on him. He is in for a very rude awakening.
Moreover, that Auburn game last season was Danny Etling's first start as the starting quarterback of LSU, and although he lost that game, he's won most of the games he has started since then.
Not to mention, that once Less Mile's was fired and Coach O had taken over, Coach O and company ratcheted up the offense and it was one of the most prolific offenses that LSU has had in many years for the remainder of the season, and that offense was run by non-other than Danny Etling.
In fact, his only bad game was the Alabama game, but that was primarily because thanks to Less Mile's old antiquated offense we were still stuck with last season, Alabama new all the plays we were going to run before the ball was snapped.
Nonetheless, against Auburn last season, he led a last minute drive that led to a touchdown for the win in the final seconds, that the referees then reversed because they were at Auburn's house. In the Florida game last season, which LSU gave away, Etling played well, as we out gained Florida 432 yards to 287 yards of total offense. He also again led a clutch last minute drive to the Florida one yard line, and then Guice made the stupid mistake of going the wrong way on the final play and blew what should have been an easy touchdown for the win. Nonetheless, that wasn't Etling's fault, he did his job in a very stressful situation.
The message is Danny Etling is not nearly as mediocre as advertised, as he has gotten a bad rap mainly from LSU people still pissed off by the firing of Less Miles. Not to mention, that last year he played the entire time with a bad back and he couldn't even feel his left foot. Anyway, to avert pain he was forced to only use his arm without his body to throw and he also had to drastically change his normal throwing motion.
Anyway, Etling is now fixed, as he had back surgery during the off season and is almost back to full 100 percent again, and the coaches and players say that as a result, he is much more mobile and the velocity of his throws, the accuracy, and the consistency of his throws are all far better, and it has also allowed him to become a far more confident quarterback.
Nonetheless, if you guys want to continue underestimating his ability, then please by all means don't let me get in your way.
