Nope I didn't count my words, but I actually have a concept of math. I know what 500 words look like and that post wasn't even close. Matt Mauck was IMO a dual threat QB. He ran an awful lot which is how he broke his leg BTW. The guy from Tennessee (Tee Martin) who won the NC after Manning left is another. BTW, why are you constantly running away from the topic. I have said Bolden is a BACKUP. Do you not know what "backup" means. Thus your question should be related to teams that won the NC due to have a BACKUP dual threat QB. I always call him Lemarcus for some reason, Jamarcus or whatever, the point is still valid. You know how I know you can't debate this very well...you bring up points and then when I question you on them, you change the subject or just go for trivial nonsense. 1) You CLAIM that Penn State staff was so right in benching Bolden yet when I brought up how Paterno REFUSED to release Bolden from his scholarship just one year earlier, you are silent 2) You CLAIM that being benched is a big deal yet it happens all the time. I gave you the LEmarcus/Jamarcus Russell example by little Nicky in the Iowa game (didn't even start him instead going with one of LSU's worst QBs of all time (Marcus Randle....please check the spelling would you, boy) 3) You CLAIM that unless you are a great dual threat QB AND win the Heisman you are not successful. IF you were going to answer any of these, that would be one thing. Instead you run away like a little girl and flood the board with the same messages over and over again. Oh, and your comedy routine needs a LOT of work. So, congrats, you are the next one on IGNORE. Indeed, persistence in being stupid and delusional in your posts count and earned you that. Oh, and BTW, for your own sake, learn the difference between starter and backup. You obviously don't know the difference.
Bottom line on Rob Bolden: Miles and staff did a SUPERB job picking up Bolden. Mettenberger is clearly the starter but unless the development of Rivers is the best kept secret since the KFC original recipe formula, LSU could NOT win the NC with Rivers at QB if Mettenberger got hurt. From what I have seen with Bolden on video both in HS and college, LSU COULD win the NC with Bolden at QB although I believe it would be considerably harder. I was right when I said Jefferson or Lee could not lead LSU to a NC...Bolden is better than either of those. I trust Miles and Kragthorpe evaluation a lot more than posters who simply have some nonsense opinion about dual threat QBs like if they don't win the Heisman they aren't any good or that just because you are a pro style QB you are automatically better. Silly nonsense stereotyping and knowledgeable football fans know it.
SaintSlidell, LSUtiga, Martin, tlo1507, Tirk, and mancha on ignore It took 9 posts to make the list...and there are some heavy hitters on this list. If you ignore everyone on the forum are you really on the forum?
Dude, you are quoting Einstein aren't you? Stereotyping? I did not say they were right. I said they did and a lot of kids are refused release. You can't just go hopping from one college to the other. It is called a commitment, Jackwagon I'm not sure where you are going with this. If benching wasn't a big deal then people wouldn't be benched Jamiles. That team will not win the National Championship. Hasn't happened yet pudsucker I know your still out there. If being stupid and delusional in posts counted everyone would have ignored you by now.
Strange how Bolden is looking very good according to the writers for the newspapers, writers for the pay websites, etc. Wow, looks like they are as clueless as Coach Les Miles and Kragthorpe huh? Too bad we don't have the loser who claims that Bolden is a nobody running the program. Then, we wouldn't have wasted a scholarship on a "dual threat QB".
LOL. If I do the math right (and I am apparently not very good at math) it isn't me! In this and most other circumstances when I take a negative stance, I would rather Bolden prove me wrong than right.
Tommy Frazier, Charlie ward, Heath shuler and Eric crouch were pretty average (compared to the ow, Vick, newton).. But very successful (although so was jj).
I have no idea why dual threat QBs get the bad rap they do. I assume it is ignorance by some people. Matt Mauck was dual threat and not great by any stretch but LSU won a NC with him at QB so he was clearly successful. Tee Martin won a NC at Tennessee 1 year after Peyton Manning for 4 years had failed to win one. Once again, whether a guy is a good QB has nothing to do with whether he can run well (which essentially is the distinction for dual threat vs pro style). Because of course you are going to pass from the pocket (pro style) if you have the mobility of dried concrete...no surprise there. Bottom line, you have great dual threat QBs, horrible dual threat QBs, and those in between. Same with pro style.
