That's great

He wasn't an SEC QB. That is what he means.


The FCS Heisman is relevant to my comment. The best player in the FCS is usually typically better than many Power 5 (Power 4) QBs. We are delusional about this SEC QB foolishness. This year, Pavia (Vanderbilt) and Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss), who transferred from Div II Ferris State, are examples of guys who were under/over recruited come out of high school. It took a Lane Kiffin to go get him, and build a system that fit his unique skill set. Scott's misfortune, was signing with Les Miles in the first place, instead of a more QB friendly system.

I've said here before, the SEC is not a "QB conference". Danny Etling was recruited and developed at Purdue. Even the great Joe Burrow, was developed (primarily at Ohio State).

I want Lindsey Scott Jr in some capacity


Texas Tech is playing in the Quarter finals. I'd trade places within him right now lol
quote:

I am sorry I do not see Houston being worth a shite at college level. He has Lindsey Scott written all over him and no way is even close to actually being 5'10" tall. Wouldn't be shocked if he's closer to 5'8".


What dont you like about Houston (other than height)? What does it mean to have "Lindsey Scott' written all over him? Scott set records in college, won a Juco natty, and won the FCS Heisman.

Buddy, at the size he is you have to be other worldly at something


No way Bryce Young had a stronger arm. And the only thing other worldly about B. Young is Alabama lol

There is a reason he could not make it in the NFL


I'm no expert, but I don't see any sub 6ft QBs going to the NFL from the FCS. Shorter guys have to come from larger programs

quote:

the fact of the matter he was not better than Danny Etling


Well yeah, Danny had started 3 seasons of major college ball (including Purdue). He was gone after Scott's redshirt year. Scott didn't fit Mile's system, which is why LSU was not a good decision.

quote:

definitely not better than a 2018 Joe Burrow.


Burrow is the Goat. So that's that. ALSO, Scott was never on the roster with Joe. Burrow is a good example though. IF Urban Meyer had not chosen Justin Fields over Burrow, and IF Joe Brady had not come to LSU in Burrow's 2nd season, the world might not know the greatest of Burrow. For most players (esp QBs), the right situation is important.

quote:

Again, I love the kid and maybe he would have found success at ULL or Tulane but even that is not a guarantee.


I agree. Syracuse and Maryland loved him, and were better fits.
quote:


No we do know. He very undersized and had serious limitations. Lets not play revisionist history here. I rooted for him when he left but he was not a talented enough for P4 program. He tried a smaller schools and found a home in Nichols and Incarnate Word which is where his talents were suited. Hope he continues to find success as a Coach and maybe will end up Coaching in some capacity at LSU.


These are facts:
He was bigger and taller than KMurray and Bryce Young. MUCH bigger than D 'erik King (who started for Miami). Scott is/was built like an NFL RB. He is/was not small. His head coach was fired at both P5 schools shortly after he arrived. Both schools had established starters when he arrived. Mizzou had a NFL draftee (Drew Lock) as it's starter, and brought in Kelly Bryant (who played in the national championship the prior year). So factually, we what would have happened if any of these facts were different. .

Also Facts:
He didn't just play FCS. He left with more TDs (71) than anyone in NCAA history. His 60 TDs is an FCS record. He and Skataboo combined for more pts in a FCS playoff game, than anyone FCS History. Took UIW to the FCS semifinal , losing to power house N Dakota state 9-6 (something like that). A reporter described him as the most talented player to grace the Fargo Dome since Tray Lance (49ers / Cowboys).

My OPINION:
If he was going to play power 5, he should have stuck with Syracuse or Maryland. If he was going G5, Tulane loved him. Chosing two P5 squads with the turmoil which LSU/Mizzou was enduring was his biggest mistake. Credit to him for moving on. Scott is built much like Pavia (Vanderbilt). He should have found his Vanderbilt. I can't profess to know whether he was good enough on the P5 level However, his record setting performance on the FCS levelcertainly left room for question.

quote:

Kid never had the tools for LSU to play.


We will never know. Miles fired the month after Scott freshman year. Jucco natty, MVP, FCS Heisman. I'm going say that he and LSU (at the time) weren't a fit.
quote:

I'm not assuming anything, you are. I'm saying we don't know his situation so why judge it? Everything I said before could very well be true, neither of us know. Idk why you think we know better than him about his own life choices. You don't have all the information and you're coming off as quite arrogant

Let me compare it to someone with the average middle class lifestyle: go work a salary job for the guaranteed $100-200k vs taking a risk and opening your own business

And Colgate.

fricking criminal how his handlers treated him


Maybe hes not traditionally "job minded". We live in a world where we think the ivy league guarantees something. Do a Google search on ivy league salaries. It's a job. Scott looks like he's already positioned to make more than the average ivy/college graduate. He chose right for him

Fifth, the portal makes every years team different from previous years teams. That makes pre-season rankings moot and increases unpredictability. Variety makes the game more fun to watch.

The schools need to come clean so we can restore all forfeiture of records but not go backwards for financial comp.


The question is how do you account for schools/players that followed the rules? Retroactively validating a rule breaker (to an extent) invalidates those that "followed" the rules. I guess the solution rest in some type of "middle ground".

This is nuts. The kid put up all of his yards and TDs against Miss St, ULM, and UTSA. He threw 2 INTs at ULM.

I guess they really want a Manning to win the Heisman and this must be their last chance


I'm all in on Manning. Film don't lie.
