QB's contemplating transferring have to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Matt Flynn probably didn't realize he was one of the last of a dying breed.

Flynn, a member of LSU's recruiting class of 2003, waited five years to become the Tigers' starting quarterback on its 2007 national championship team.

There's hardly any college QBs these days who have Flynn's faith, patience, or sticktoitiveness to hang around for longer than couple of seasons to win a starting job before transferring.

So, when you see LSU redshirt freshman Lowell Narcisse announce via Twitter Tuesday night that he's transferring to a yet-to-be-determined destination (probably a junior college if he's getting good advice on his next move), it doesn't raise an eyebrow.
