QB Issue - No one can convince me...

that LSU just happened to recruit the most inept 5-star and (2) 4-star QBs in the history of D-1 sports. All of these guys came here knowing how to do some kind of quarterbacking. Now JJ looks like he'd have trouble hanging on to his starting spot a Destrahan, Lee remains terribly inconsistent, and we're told that Shepard simply can't learn the playbook and/or throw the ball. How the hell do other programs get at least average play out of 3-star guys throwing to 2 and 3-star receivers.

We clearly have an offensive problem--not just a QB problem. And it goes back to the coaching, the scheme, and the player development. Lee showed us a little bit earlier this season, but over the last two weeks he's now looked just like the old Lee--minus the long bombs and pick 6s.

We won't fix this with a change at QB. Not Lee, not JJ, not Shep, not Zach Mettenberger. Crowton will frick him up, too.

Our problems run deep. Hell, the receivers are regressing.

do you realize that Les Miles can overrule anything that Crowton does? Les Miles is the sole reason for our fricked up joke of an offense.

All true, I see recievers all over the country making adjustments and catching the ball. Far less talented than LSU has. The problems run much deeper than QB.

Jefferson was supposed to be a project. Was not supposed to be ready to make a significant impact until he was a junior.


Lee obviously needed at least an extra year on the sidelines before he could be ready.



As for Shep, he just wanted a shot at playing QB, He stopped working with the QBs since the UF game in 2009. We needed to find way to get him on the field more (we were a failure at that I know). I think he should play RB instead of WR.

Please define this. He has one average game in limited PT with a banged up wrist? I think that he looked pretty good in the last game.

Oh, now I see. You don't want a change (ie: take JJ out) at QB. You JJ supporters are so transparent.

Fwiw, Shep was a 5 star athlete. Not a 5 star qb.

Which all boils down to coaching, and why I have even less and less confidence in Miles and the direction he's taking this team regardless of the W/L column even. It's a general slide downward that I see in almost all phases, and you're right Navytiger. THAT IS COACHING or the lack thereof.

Had Tennessee not given us the game, this thread wouldn't exist. And we'd be looking at another 500 sec season.

It's obvious what's going on here. The team is coached down, not up. In the last three years we've had arguably the worse defense and worse offense in recent history.
