14 touchdowns and 16 interceptions isn't that bad for a freshman quarterback in the SEC. Someone like Matt Stafford started out with 7 touchdowns 13 interceptions, and he became pretty efficient. Why didn't he have so many pick 6's? Every interception has to have some anticipation from the defender, whether the quarterback stares the reciever down or not.

Do you think some bad luck could be attributed to JL's pick 6's? and if you take a few of them away would people be more willing to accept him?

I guess if they were all wide open touchdowns that my point is invalid, but if there were a few lucky steps, missed tackles, etc. here and there...Bad luck could be what's seperating a Average freshman SEC year from a year that everyone thinks is the worst possible performance in recent memory

Absolutely. If the defender drops the INT, then it would be good luck.

I know what you are getting at. I think it was him staring down the receivers and getting tunnel vision on his primary receiver. THus the defender not only can break on the ball, but is probably unseen because of the tunnel vision. Okay in high school when defenders aren't as quick and don't recognize plays as soon as they develop, but not in SEC football.
