It seems counterintuitive to continually target QB recruits that play such dissimilar styles. Are we a pro-style team or a spread/dual-threat type of team? Please don't ruin the thread with pissy comments about our offense. There are enough of those already.

I realize that you try to get as much talent as possible, but I think at the QB position, it should fit your system. Currently, we have 2 Dual threat kids on our board with Mett(hopefully) and Rivers in the mix. This approach is certainly not working out too well for Florida either. I can't understand why Brantley went to UF or why they were interested in him. Great talent, but a tough fit. Scary to think what they would look like with Newton.

Its not that, it's that there are literally ZERO QBs out there that are even considering LSU. Well not zero, but the ones we are recruiting are the ones the staff feels good enough to play college ball and actually are interested in LSU

Both mett and rivers are drop back. people are confused abut Dak p. he's listed as dual. however, he has drop back skills as well. think d mcnab. he could run in his day, however, he was a pass first guy. so is dak. you don't have to run a spread option with dak. he's a passer that can run. not a runner that can pass.

i think people relate to j.j. and lee. all three of these guys move better than lee and pass better than j.j.

the thing i hope they have that our current two don't is the ability to make the quick and right decision. j.j. can't make a decision and j.l. makes to quick of a decision. i really believe j.j. would be a hell of a qb if he could make and trust his decision. he plays like he's in quick sand because he doesn't trust what he sees.

Well it seems to me that Miles and Crowton have different ideas of what type of offense we should run, hence the need to have different styles of QB.

I just cannot comprehend how a major program such as LSU can have significant problems at QB for three consecutive years. It is truly mind-boggling.
