re: QB Play: NOT the Major Problem w/the Offense (statistical support)

From what appears to be a well thought out post, I personally see a major flaw. No matter what sort of stats you can come up with, Jefferson is the most inaccurate passer I can recall at LSU since Marcus Randall. Yards per completion and percentage completion have a lot to do with the guys being thrown to and the plays being called. LSU rarely threw downfield last year, mainly because Jefferson just didn't have that ability to get the ball close enough to the receiver. That inability allowed the opponents to stack the line with 8 and 9 men. I don't care how good your line is, it is really hard for 5 or 6 to block 8 or 9. So, I disagree. If JJ was just a little bit more of a threat in passing, the run game would have been better. Also, I watched him back out the pocket into a sack several times, and people blamed those sacks on the line, which wasn't really fair. The pocket was there, but he would not stay in it.

Without major improvement in quarterback play, we are in for another season like 2009. A good team that could have been great, leaving us upset with a nine win season.
