LSU TIGERS
Year after year, LSU produces loads of NFL talent, but year after year, the Tigers have struggled at the quarterback position.
Danny Etling was a decent player, but wasn’t able to take the LSU offense to the level it needed to be to compete with the elite teams in the SEC.
If that seems a bit ridiculous, ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser agrees. As you can see in the video below, shared by @JakeMartinOC on Twitter, the ESPN host makes a convincing case for a 5-star quarterback to head to Baton Rouge:

“LSU has more people in the pros right now than any other school,” he said. “They’ve got 51. If they had a quarterback, they’d win everything.”
The Tigers have a talented prospect in rising sophomore Myles Brennan challenging for the starting job in 2018, but Kornheiser is right. If the Tigers could land a star quarterback, the SEC West may become even tougher.
Have to agree with korny. Really puzzling they haven’t landed one in such a long time. Tons of talent to surround one with. They would be scary with a Tua, Fromm…
Miles did sign two 5 star QB’s. One, Perrilloux, ended up with off field troubles and the other switched to WR. There were several 4 stars, but none of them really developed into anything. An impactful QB would make LSU a serious contender. Hopefully Brennan or Narcisse turn into that guy.
LSU has won three National Championships with quarterbacks that were not 5 star talents. Your chances do become better but it is not a requirement. Matt Mauck and Matt Flynn were good quarterbacks. There are other factors on a team that determines whether they can win it all and that 5 star quarterback is absolutely not needed.
True but it sure does help.
Hey MC whatever happened to perriloux he had a ton of talent.
Perriloux was the heir apparent but got kicked off the tm following a strong finish the yr prior. His loss really hurt and set the program back. LSUs QB troubles can be traced back to Perriloux. Smh.
Thanks for the publicity, Kornheiser. Hope it helps.
Haven’t we been saying the same thing for years now? I mean I’ve even seen Bama fans saying ‘LSU would be scary if they had a QB, Troll Pride’ or something like that.
Well that used to be the case….. Now you got coach O. LSU is going to have more problems than just finding a QB..
Exactly.
As long as O is the coach, the best they’ll be is a middle of the pack West team like us.
Nah, no-one considers State a middle pack team. Bottom feeders sounds more like it.
