I have a question about Flynn. Was he the starting QB for LSU last year when they won the national title?

He was. It was also his first year as a starter, and the team lost two quality WRs to the draft the year before (Bowe and Davis).

Holy crap. Thanks guys. I do believe in the next few years, we'll have the best QB's in the league. Things are starting to look up at the QB position!

He need's work, but he ain't bad. If I recall his #1 WR Doucet was injured a lot last season.

Wasn't he the starter before Russell got there, and then lost his job for a couple of years?

Russell and Flynn redshirted the same year and competed to be the starter the following year. Russell won out and Flynn was the backup. In his sophomore and junior seasons he appeared in seven games each, but he didn't have the opportunity to start until Russell left the Tigers.

The best Flynn highlight vid, not because of the highlights, but because of the theme music:

I guess Brohm is an EC pick if you're into 15 year-old boys.

Oh, also of interest is that Flynn managed to hold off LSU's monster recruit at QB (Ryan Perrilloux) to win the job his senior season. A senior should probably beat out a freshman every time, but it's good that he held off the ninety-five star hotly recruited QB prospect that will be tearing it up at LSU this year, more than likely.

So he can play, and I like his ability to develop longterm. He's pretty green, but not as green as a guy like Ingle Martin or Jerry Babb, and he has a higher ceiling too.
