They’re also extremely rare, especially between major programs at the QB position.
However if I’m going to be optimistic in that situation, it’s going to be when the guy sat behind one of the most prolific players to ever play for 2 years (Barrett) while being developed by arguably the games best QB coach, and almost beating out what most agree is a future first round pick (Haskins) with the fan base split on who should start.

Etling had a 150+ passer rating last year, to say he brought no value is just not intelligent
Fine i'll say it this way.
Danny etling was not a game changer at all. He didn't elevate his team. He wasn't clutch and if he had a "wow" moment, i can't think of it.
If you want to put a finer point on it, ok.
I guess he had "value" in this sense, he kept lsu out of the red but if danny etling is what folks can expect from a grad transfer quarterback, other than keeping lsu above .500, then no there's no value.

Greg Paulus. Clint Trickett. Garrett Gilbert. Tyler Murphy. Ben Mauck.
None were lucky enough to transfer to Bama, but they were all successful.
Burrow is more of a true transfer who happened to RS and graduate early. There are plenty of transfers who had great success.

Just curious, are you upset that that your starting QB couldn't win the championship game last year and it took the backup QB to do it?
LOL
Dude, we are so angry about that. Lemme just tell ya.

It's little the things they hold on to, you know. You can tell when one of them strays over from Tiger Rant. First series of posts will be "Insecure U" "sisterwives" "10-2"

OP: Do any grad transfer QBs ever work out?
Yes, XYZ did
OP: Ok, but they didn't bring anything of value.
They did actually, here are their stats
OP: Ok, but they were never game changers or had "wow moments"

Were they all grad transfers?
If they were i'll take your word for it.
I'll try to put this in a different sorta context.
The lsu fanbase is split on this joe burrow thing. Some believe he'll elevate the team to something meaningful. Others don't believe his presence will matter.
The latter is probably more on the mark when you consider the largely unimpressive results teams have with grad transfer quarterbacks.
There are only two instances i can think of where grad transfer QB's actually elevated a team or mattered in a significant way.
Here's a nugget for you.
The over/under for lsu in april, before burrow was 7.5. The over/under now, after burrow's arrival is 7.
Burrow's presence did move the needle....In the wrong direction.
I'm speaking purely in a practical sense. Other than wilson and coker, when has a grad transfer QB mattered all that much to a team?

Not really an apples to apples thread subject. None of those quarterbacks had orgeron to coach them up after transferring.

This is stupid. If it wasn't for Etling then Harris would have started for two years and we probably would have been even worse on offense.
It's not value like Wilson brought to Wisconsin but he still wound up being a better option than the QBs that were already here.

Bama fans scared over an "Urban Meyer hand me down". Love it.

Maybe you should of made this the original post instead of going through all of these mental girations and goal post moving?

Yep!! Usually bama fans don't have issues asking specific questions regarding LSU.

Ahhhh the moron who started that thread currently on the tiger rant triggered your thread 99.99 % of LSU fans not only believe his presence matters, but that he is a major upgrade from our other options and for all the reasons I’ve listed that you haven’t responded to.

Yes, that's the point i'm making. Additionally, you're expectimg more than that out of burrow. My question is this. Other than wilson and coker, when do grad transfer QB's do much more than danny did at lsu?

Why don’t you just edit this thread and say what you really want to instead of beating around the bush.
What you are really trying to express in this thread is that you don’t think that Lsu’s QB Burrow will amount to anything.
I’m not sure what your idea of a successful year for Mr Burrow would be, but we dumb Cajuns who obviously don’t know as much as you Rhodes Scholars from Alabama are very excited to have him. Our defense should be really good this year , so we don’t need a heisman effort from him although I would gladly take it lol.
I believe he will be an upgrade from Etling and give our 2 younger QB’s more time to develope.
