Someone page Jamarcus Russell, STAT!
They could sign Zach Mettenberger (their actual college QB) to challenge Drew Stanton for that backup job (Tyrod Taylor is headed elsewhere).
Mettenberger is in the AAF and now starting for Memphis (coached by Mike Singletary). Believe it or not Christian Hackenberg started their season over him but was benched after just 3 starts (0 TDs, 3 INTs, 2 fumbles).
LSU's passing game in 2013? Landry - 75 for 1,172 and 10 TDs. Beckham - 57 for 1,117 and 8 TDs. Their next most productive receiver? Jeremy Hill with 18 for 181 and 0 TDs.
I was a very strong in like for Beckham and I couldn't have been more against Landry as a prospect. Did NOT like him at all.
Since then, Landry has become one of my favorite receivers to listen to. The man is brilliant and really gets it when it comes to player development and incorporating young people into a locker room.
I don't know if he's exactly suited to coach one day but I could see him being an excellent Director of Player Engagement one day for a team. Not that he'd want to do that but his personality and make up seem outstanding for that type of role when he's done.
Hackenberg. I think it was a high school all stars skills competition the first time I saw him. I remember it well because he couldn't hit anything on his throws, i'm talking not even close. I knew right then and there that him being a 5 star and a great QB didn't add up. No accuracy at all.
