I heard Tonya Harding isn't very busy these days. Worthy of discussion but I'll leave the starting QB decision to the coaches who see them every day in practice etc.
2006 Season for Jamarcus Russell To-Date: 46/72 1 Int 63.9% 718 yds 5 TD 58 (Long) 167.79 QB Rating Proof's in the pudding.. JR is the man and there's no reason he shouldn't be where he is... I think that people tend to have the "grass is greener" syndrome with QB's around here for some reason. I doesn't hurt to say "what if?", but I've seen some folks around town as well as at the games being a bit more staunch than need be... Can be agrivating.
Jamarcus is gone after this year anyway, so all you nay sayers can bite your tongue for a few months, until he is gone leaving a legacy with him. Then you can all jump on the Flynn bandwagon together, holding hands, singing kum by f'in ya. With your spritzers in one hand and thumb up your nose, tellin everyone "It's About Time" Give the kid a break, at least he doesn't have to hear this crap at practice, they all know he is suited for the job. But, But, I would have like to see if Flynn or Perriloux could have outrun those defenders on Saturday.
Everyone is assuming JMarc leaves after this year. Matt Lienart stayed his Senior year and he had the no.1 pick basically a shoe-in. JMarc no doubt will be a great NFL QB but don't be so confident that he's gonna walk after this year. As it stands, I say 50/50. And no, Flynn shouldn't start. Not unless Russell is injuried. JMarc has already proven himself as far as playing in tight games go.
But I think with all this talk, as foolish as it may seem to some, of a QB battle, he might find it easier to just go pro, especially if he finishes the season pretty strong. Not sure, but just a guess. I see him leaving after this season.
Flynn is a gamer ... and knows the LSU system better than JR ... more playbook saavy. Check Flynn's QB rating ... lol. Meyer would give his left testicle for Matt Flynn. Spurrier would give both testicles for Matt Flynn. He's just sitting on a sideline wasting away ... And you know what ... it doesn't matter Coach OAF, et all ... hasn't got the mentality to allow LSU FB to: 1. Utilize LSU talent, speed and the PASSING GAME effectively. 2. Utilize Flynn (as a "spark" for JR) after Flynn watches the defensive tendencies during the previous set of downs. Simply, platoon them at a 2:1 series ration (JR to Flynn, Flynn every third series and make each of them sit with the headphones on watching the Defense) We hang 50 on everybody for the rest of the year. When it's in the bag ... 35 points on the board ... ITS RP THE REST OF THE WAY. Develop this kid for 2008 & 2009 NOW. Not later, NOW! 3. When you have this much talent, it's a crime not to use it. 4. Matt Flynn could have gone into that AU game and made a huge difference, especially when JR & CO & Coach Oaf's running game were stalled. He's faster and playbook smarter than JR ... pure and simple. He doesn't give his targets away and he can burn a defense on a big run and run past those OL & most LBs Reminds me of David Woodley ... sitting behind Ensmiger ... anyone remember Woodley, lol. Anyone remember Ensminger? Didn't really matter ... Coach Mac never used either one of them effectively anyway. Cholly Mac Ball 1st down: RUN MAC RUN, SEE MAC RUN 2nd down: RUN MAC RUN, SEE MAC RUN 3rd down (Short): RUN MAC RUN, SEE MAC RUN 3rd down (Long): Oh, goody a pass. Think they know it's coming Less Smiles Ball Same as Cholly Mac ball ... Lather, rinse and repeat
I can only take so much bullsh!t. This is one of the more stupid statements I've ever seen on an LSU board, and that is saying a lot.
