    What does it look like had Van Buren stayed....

    He been riding the pine at LSU even though Nuss is what many of us knew he was - badly overrated.

    Would he be the starter here today? Would he have been evough to elevate pressure off our oline? I sure wonder...

    He would be the backup.

    He would be the back up, KT would have not seen the field this year, and with our luck, Kromenhoek would have been starting somewhere else for a winning team!

    Most likely the backup to Blake. I think we might be better if Blake had moved on and we went with a more dynamic QB. That didn’t happen though

    The backup quarterback will always make us a better team.

    MVB threw a nice deep ball, but otherwise was a pretty underwhelming passer. He'd be QB2 if he were still here.

    No. He wouldn't.

    Levee is so invested in Shapen, that MVB would have been a back up.

    demanded a certain price or else. He won't start next year if he is still in baton rouge either. bet the new crew brings in portal QB's and pass him up which mean a decrease in his cash flow

    Not once last year did MVB prove that he should have been the starting QB this year. Had he had an amazing year and won a couple of games by putting the team on his back and making some insane passes or QB scrambles for touchdowns then the argument would have been there. It wasn?t. He couldn?t even beat out Nuss at LSU. I guess Kelly was just too invested in Nuss, huh?

    Yes Kelly was. 100%. Kelly is so arrogant he in no way thought LSU would fire him this year.

    MVB was a typical talented true freshman QB getting alot of playing time in the SEC. Looks good in flashes/lots of mistakes/around 50% completion percentage due to not being able to read defenses fast enough or comfortable making all the throws yet. MVB is probably alot better than he was at this time last year

    exactly- acting like MVB was some random asshole is crazy. Every team has those guys now. People somehow shut up when LSU grabbed him right up after we declined to pay him.

    And for those saying he wont be the QB at LSU next year? Depends on who they hire as HC. Not to mention other coaches trying to get him for their offense.

    I don't blame MVP at all for transferring last year. As die hard of a State fan as I am, if someone offered me 1 mill to come play at LSU after the season we had last year then I am saying yes in a hurry. He got killed due to our O line last year. I think he will be back in the portal at the end of this season. Vandy bound??
