He just stated once he learns the offense, JJ/JL's advantage disipates. It's all up to Mett - learn the O,run the O.


I really hope that this is the case, but I seriously doubt it. If nothing else, Miles is loyal to a fault. He will give Jefferson, and to a lesser extent Lee, every opportunity to start as QB.

In this mind, they've paid their dues and that alone entitles them to an advantage. Mett has 3 years to play and Miles is gonna make him wait his turn, unless something unforseen like injuries forces him to start Mett.

The thing that worries me is that unless the offense improves dramatically, Mett won't get any meaningful playing time because LSU will be forced to win close games down the stretch and the starting QB will stay in the game until the end.

As he should. He should not undermine any confidence that has developed in JJ and JL. We will need them during the season, so it's important to keep them engaged and feeling like they can compete. If Mett improves enough to be a clear(to the coaches) improvement, then he will start. As long as the competition is close, expect seniority to rule.

Exactly. The players love and respect him and he is extremely loyal to them, almost to a fault. One of the best and worst traits of Miles.

I am hoping that this means that Miles is not going to just give Mett the keys to the castle...Miles wants the team to embrace Mett, not have him forced upon them. He wants the team to see the need to play him over the other two.
Good point DD.
