Here's what it boils down to: Until LSU can field a QB that opposing coaches respect, LSU is in a world of hurt.
Just my opinion, but if I were game planning against LSU, I would focus 95% of my defensive effort on stopping the run game (i.e., force the QB to beat me). A likely result: LSU would pick up 0-2 yards per run play, the offensive line would look bad, 2nd and 3rd-and-longs will come often, and third-and-short would be LSU's achillies' heel. LSU's defense should be improved, but how could you tell when they're on the field 3/4 of the game due to an anemic offense?
Unless any of LSU's QB's perform well above expectation, this team will finish somewhere between 6-6 to 8-4. Very little improvement, if any, from last year.

Exactly. With no threat of a vertical game we are in deep shite.

Someone with some sense. that is what teams have been doing to lsu the last year and a half. JJ took 34 sacks last year. Lee had interception problems obviously the year before, but only took 8 sacks. don't give me that statement that the line sucked. They may have not been good, but just how damn good can you be when teams load the box against you and stop the run and you got a guy who can't make you pay at qb. People blame less, the line, coaches in general, etc. People this is the SEC. If you can't make a team respect your passing game, and make them pay when they don't respect it, you are in a world of hurt. I find it remarkable that lsu won 9 games last year. I do disagree with your assessment of the Tigers record next year. they will not be any worse for sure at qb. I think every other position will improve, and some will improve by a lot. OL will be much better, rb's (imo) will be better, WR will probably have the most talent on a starting wr group in the nation. DL will be greatly improved. LB should be as good, and backfield will get better in my opinion with the addition of loston and the experience of the other returners and PP...plus a pass rush will help db's even more. So, yes it is all up to the qb play, but I have to believe it will be improved this year over last, and the Tigers could very easily end up 10-2 or 11-1. Remember, with that HORRIBLE offense last year, they were very close to winning 10-11 games.
