Yeah, really. Little revisionist there? The stats and the wins don't lie. I don't recall "most fans calling for flynn", though there were some. You obviously were one of them. Please dig up the threads that show "most fans" doing this. You mean I have a right to fondly remember a guy that played quite well for LSU and won a ton of games? Gee thanks.
and this shocked you? when Jamie Howard was starting, people wanted Herb. when Booty was starting, everyone wanted Rohan When Mauck was starting, people wanted Randal when Randal was starting, people wanted Russel when Russell was starting, people wanted Flynn when Flynn was starting, people wanted Perrilloux when lee was starting, they wanted Jefferson when jefferson started, they want sheppard it will never end.
As is usually the case. The back up is always, to the fans, the better QB until it becomes their job.
Well you asked to be embarrassed so... 2005 QB rating - 136.6 Comp % - 60.5 Yards - 2443 Yds/game - 203.6 Yds/attempt - 7.9 TD - 15 Int - 9 2006 QB rating - 167 Comp % - 67.8 Yards - 3129 Yds/game - 240.7 Yds/attempt - 9.1 TD - 28 Int - 8 - Compiled a 25-4 mark as LSU’s starting quarterback - Finished ranked among the top five in every career passing category kept at LSU - The 25 wins ties with Warren Rabb as the third-highest total in LSU history - Ranked second all-time at LSU in career completion percentage (61.9) and career touchdown passes (52) - Also ranks third in career completions (493) and career passing yards (6,625) - fourth in career attempts (797) - Is just the fourth player in school history to go over the 6,000 yard mark in total offense (6,704 yards) - Capped career ranked No. 3 in school history with 6,704 yards of total offense, just one yard shy of tying Jeff Wickersham for second place in school history - Connected with WR Dwayne Bowe on 23 TD passes which ranks the pair as the most prolific pass-catch scoring combo in school history - single-season records in touchdown passes (tied Matt Mauck with 28) - single-season records in completions (232) and completion percentage (67.8) - Is the only quarterback to lead the Tigers to at least 10 wins in back-to-back seasons - Manning Award winner - Those damn Mannings sure don't know jacksh!t about being a QB. Yeah, that's absolutely pathetic. If Russell sucked so bad, then LSU has never had anything but bad Qbs. Good luck proving that.
