My point is we would be bringing him in with another, hopefully better QB. We need 2 maybe 3 guys from the portal for next season. I’d be disappointed if he were the only or even the best guy we targeted. But did put up 330 yards of offense in A CFP, and he has YEARS of experience. So I’m not sure we are going to get much better than that as our seconds QB option.

This guy just started for a very good G5 team. He was the QB for a 10-2 BYU team. Why would he come to LSU for his last year to likely sit on the bench? It just doesn't make sense, man.

never started 3 from one team before

Since Brisket took over the Cards are averaging 358 yards per game, 30 over the league average of 328 a game. That's despite play 4 of the best defenses in the league - Seattle, Rams, Texans, and Packers.

There should be plenty to go around against an Atlanta defense that is not playing well.

No QB entering the portal is perfect. The standards on this board are ridiculous.

Sam Leavitt vs Miss State: 10 of 22, 82 yards, 1 TD, 2 picks

Sorsby had a game this year where he threw for 69 yards. He had another one where he went 11 of 33

CJ Bailey averaged 150 yards and threw a combined 5 picks against ND and Miami

Mestemaker didn't play his best vs Tulane. His OL was also getting dominated up front and his WRs dropped a few catchable balls. One bad game shouldn't dissuade anyone because pretty much every college QB who isn't 2019 Joe Burrow has had a stinker or 2.

But then you look at Trinidad's game log...dude brings it every game. I think he's option #1 if you want a plug and play, rocksolid guy next year.

They have played Texas, Alabama, and Ole Miss each of the last 2 years :confused:

I think Sellers declares. Have to believe he'll be a first round pick, it's easy enough to excuse away the production due to his situation

So Chambliss accounted for 21 of his team's 24 points and Mestemaker accounted for 28 of his team's 59 points?

You're not really making much of an argument of Mestemaker over Chambliss. You're making an argument that North Texas itself was better for one game than Ole Miss vs a similar opponent.

---

Not meant to be an argument for Mestemaker > Chambliss. Just a data point they have in common, used to refute the Tulane game as some kind of proof that Mestemaker can't play.

And I think Mestemaker is damn good. I brought him up when I was looking up their OC and HC before Kelly was fired. However Chambliss has done it in the SEC, has done it in LK's offense, is a true dual threat, and will be a 5th year senior if he is awarded a shot. Chambliss is showing the same direction of Deigo Pavia. Year one to year 2 in the SEC.

---

Agreed that Chambliss is definitely a safer bet for 2026 due to experience in Lane's system/vs SEC athletes.

I'm not as confident as others that Chambliss 1) wins his appeal 2) wants to transfer to LSU even if he does. I'm sure he has loyalty to Lane, but it seems like he also likes Ole Miss. Certainly Ole Miss will pony up with matching money to keep him, the optics would be terrible if their old coach comes back and takes their stud QB.

If Chambliss ain't coming, Mestemaker is an excellent option.

I firmly believe that LSU could beat James Madison, Tulane, even Alabama yet they get playoff bids.

I mean, yea we could beat them. We could also lose to them. Our end of season team would probably be an underdog to all 3

Williams would be a great get. Really talented guy.

No way he’s portaling right? Surely usc will pony up to keep him?

Memphis and Tulane are both better than multiple P4 jobs.

I could see that argument. I mean, are you really set up better for success at Cal than those 2 places?

Not like the AAC is a huge step up from the SunBelt.

I disagree, the football played in the AAC is definitely better than the fun Belt. So is the average monetary commitment to the program.
