Jefferson is developing in the sense that he is becoming a better QB. The UNC and the MSU game demonstrate that he is becoming a better QB. Sure, he made five mistakes in the UNC game, but it was the first game of the year, and he played well.

how is completing 12 passes for a measily 79 yards developing and becoming a better QB? isn't the role of a developed QB to move the ball down the field and get the ball to your playmakers with opportunnity to succed? throwing dump offs to safety valave WR does not prove development or make you have a great game.

quote:
In the MSU game, Jefferson performed excellently the tasks he was called upon to perform. Was it perfect? No. It is not realistic to expect perfection. (Did Russell Shepard play perfectly? No, and his imperfections contributed to the negative discussions about Jefferson.) Jefferson ran well for a QB, and he threw well

once aqain completing 10 passes for 97 yards is not playing excellent or proving development. he's in essentially his 20th game as a starting college QB and still can't make a decesive read. an excellent game by a QB is getting the ball to your playmakers with opportunnities to succed. outside of the one drop that Sheppard had on a deep throw, give me another example of Jefferson throwing the ball downfield that would have given his playmakers an opportunnity to make a big play.

quote:
The game was in hand. Jefferson had played a great game with zero turnovers.

so because a QB has 0 turnovers that constitutes as a great game? you keep saying Jefferson had a great game, but it was far from that. yes having no turnovers is a great STAT to have, but when the rest of the game you played was less than ideal, how can you say it was great. he finally had a good run in the option package, but that had more to do with a breakdown in MSU defense than the individual effeort of Jefferson. you cannot win in the SEC with a QB who continues to throw for less than 100 yards.

WVU will crowd the line and dare Jefferson to beat them this week. they will have the best Defense LSU has seen to date. we'll see how all those 6 yard pass completions work this week.

How many times did Jefferson check down for the easy throw in this game?

12 passes for 79 yards?

If you are correct, how did Jefferson not do that against State? How many punts or turnovers did LSU have? In any event, the role of the QB is to perform as the QB is asked to perform. Jefferson did that well.

How many opportunities did Jefferson have to throw? Sixteen. He completed over 60% of his passes. More importantly, Jefferson put his team in scoring position on every possession except for one.

Outside of the one drop that Shepard had on a deep throw, give me another example of when Jefferson was asked to throw the ball downfield.

Look at the plays Jefferson was asked to execute and consider how he executed them. He did a great job.

So you're saying that on an option, he read the defense and took advantage of its breakdown. Isn't that what he is supposed to do on an option?

Except that he has won in the SEC throwing for less than 100 yards. Twice. And he hasn't lost yet.

The same WVU that got taken to OT by Marshall? The same WVU team that gave up a 100 yard rushing game to a Marshall player?
