Convinced you? That wasn’t the purpose of my post.
My point is, he has a skill set that has drawn attention from P4 schools, not all of which have offered but several are interested nonetheless.
I trust Lane knows what he is doing.

already covered Sims... coincidentally, also another highly recruited 4 star guy...
Kiffin absolutely helped Sims' development, not saying he didn't.. but le'ts not act like Sims had never taken a snap at QB... while he may have been a RB, he was also a back up QB, and in HS he was a starter at QB since his Soph year...
I think the point that escapes you is that Blake Sims was very much a weak link on that team and Lane made him serviceable. The guy went undrafted and never sniffed an active NFL roster. But if you want to harp on someone rating him as a 4-star in HS go for it.

this entire idea of Kiffin can just make anyone great is just retarded... can he make a good QB better? sure... no doubt, we've seen him do that repeatedly... but this Chambliss thing is a one off, yet some here like to think this is the norm for him... it's not...
Corral? Dart?

Sims was more than serviceable... he won the starting job and never looked back...

so did Jason White and Charlie Ward...

what does that have to do with how he played in COLLEGE? LSU isn't in the NFL...

i really don't care what Sims' star rating was, in the grand scheme... the guy was highly recruited by the best of the best coming into college... can the same be said about Clark?

Glad for Clark to provide Back up Depth..if he's LSUs Starter ...deep doo doo incoming ...but hey LAne might be a miracle worker with him.
Then at least Eli Holstein should be brought in to compete if no other QBs are coming

Corral and Dart were both very highly rated guys coming into college....
again, no one is saying that Kiffin cannot coach QBs... what i am saying is that he's been very fortunate enough to have worked with guys who had already shown to be good QBs already, hence being so highly rated coming into college to begin with....
the lists of guys that Kiffin "made" is very short vs. the one that the guy was already an established, known commodity/name

The longer this drags out the more I’m open to securing Clark as the #1 and rolling with two more good options for backup.
I am as well. You will spend less on him, and you can therefore spend more money on the pieces around him. Build the OL around him, and continue to bring in weapons.
There will be some growing pains with Landen due to the difference in competition level, but I think this will be a 2 year process anyway.

yeah, like Austin Simmons did at Ole Miss this year...
I heard Cole Cubelic give some background on this a few days ago. He said Lane and Weis really liked Chambliss before the season, but he didn’t have Spring with them and had just came in for the summer. He evidently struggled a good bit with accuracy in drills, but would turn it on in scrimmages. But he was also still learning their offense.
Simmons had two years in that offense and had to play some snaps in big games when Dart went out the previous season, plus time in their blowouts. There’s a reason he won the job. He just didn’t stand out before going down with injury.

Did you not watch Dart in 2022? He was pretty mediocre at best as a passer. We were the first team that limited their run game and once we did, their entire offense collapsed. He couldn’t hold up as a passer if you forced them to have to throw the ball. They lost 4 more games after that.
It was obviously a different story with Dart the next season. But Kiffin brought in Spencer Sanders for a reason. He was there in case Dart didn’t take that step forward in the offseason. So the talent may have been there with Dart, but he needed a LOT of work and development. Kiffin and Weis deserve credit for that.

for the 100th time, no one is saying that Kiffin cannot develop QBs... for frick's sake...
but tell me... was Dart a highly coveted recruit out of HS?
let me save you the time... yes, very highly recruited... the guy was the MaxPrep NATIONAL player of the year... he wasn't some project that Kiffin had to start at the bottom floor with, and THAT is my point...
YES, Kiffin has helped QB's improve into better QBs... NO ONE is saying otherwise... but, AGAIN, the list of "made" QBs by Kiffin is very short... so acting like it's not is stupid

We’ll be lucky to get 2 No qb is transferring to be 3rd string and if they are transferring in the spring window they aren’t starter material anyway
We brought in MVB, who started multiple SEC games the previous year, with him knowing for certain he would be the backup. You forgot that quick, didn’t you. Some guys will be willing to take some money for an opportunity to compete to be the starter at a major program. You can’t have a more open opportunity than LSU 2026, at least right now.

I’m confident that if you told Kiffin he could have any 3 backups in the country he would hit on 1 for sure and probably 2 with a Good possibility of all three. I worry not about the position.

If Chambliss is a “gamer” as has been mentioned, then possibly not. Remember Rohan Davey? He hit the bench and stayed there a couple of times across 1999 and 2000 due to benching and injury for the same reason. He was the best in-game QB, but Saban mentioned multiple times in interviews that he was never a standout in practice, even after he and Fisher rode him on that.

Like 2nd string.
I agree. Aaron Rodgers has some eligibility left. We should go get him and let this Clark bum learn from tGOAT.

oh, i did.... i still couldn't get over the fact that you had no idea that Chambliss was not OM starter to start the year... as evidenced by the part i chose to respond to...
It’s hilarious that you think I didn’t know this and yet I alluded to the fact that Chambliss got his shot and obviously improved.
It happens with good coaching
