If Les wanted a true dual threat QB, why not Shep?

1. Certainly is a faster and better runner than JJ, and its not even close.
2. I would be willing to bet that his passing stats would have been about the same or possibly better as well.
3. Playbook memorization - Im quite confident he could hand the ball off and do the pitch dive play without much problem. There's no reason he couldnt have had a set of plays that worked for him.
4. "Avoiding the pass rush" - since this was the reason JJ was favored over JL was for athleticism, you have a stud athlete sitting on your bench who can make plays with his feet.
My point - If Les wanted a dual threat QB then why didnt he give the 5-Star dual threat QB a real chance? Im not talking about a few reps in practice I mean an actual chance.

To me, one of the greatest mysteries and also one of the most wasted talents in LSU history. Just my view.

Shep is not a dual threat, as bad as JJ was at throwing the ball Shep was way worse.

I find this a very fascinating question. I think the coaches gave up way to early on shep as a qb.....size can be the only thing that I believe was hindering his chance of being a qb.

Are u that fricking dumb? Shep couldn't throw a 10 yard out without bouncing the ball! This shite has been discussed for years now!

Because a TRUE dual-threat can throw

Throws a sweet bounce pass, though.

I will never understand why JJ was not converted to a WR or TE and Shep made the dual threat QB. Shep just wasn't made for the position they tried to fit him into and they never got him the touches they promised him. Someone with his talent should get 10 to 15 touches a game. RR too. Hell, they even let Ware throw a couple of passes, why not Shep? He was the most wasted talent ever at LSU by far. JJ was the most overplayed disappointment I ever remember at LSU.
Les is a great recruiter, he is a great evaluater of coaching talent and sometimes he is a great game day coach. However, he generally sucks at player talent and position evaluation.

I also find Miles' decision to move Shepard to WR very baffling. Going into 2009, we were in desperate need of a playmaker at QB (we still are). Shepard was a 5* dual threat QB, who many scouts said was further along then Terrelle Pryor at the same point in high school.
He ran the ball very well out of the QB position the very few times we played him there. His talent was totally wasted from day one. We didn't even give him a legit shot at QB when good QB play was, and still is, a major problem.

If Les wanted a dual threat QB he would have taken Robert Griffin III. I don't think Les gave Shep a real chance.

also, isn't this irrelevant.
Shep asked to be moved.

I wish I wouldn't have seen this thread.
Shep would have been absolutely perfect for the shite we've been running with Jefferson. He can throw bubbles just fine I'm sure.
Just a shame he didn't get a chance to truly play QB and was lied to.
