re: What do the Miles supporters believe it will take to actually develop a legit QB

No but they have a pension for giving up some big plays that cost us in 09 10 and 12.

Every defense is going to give up big plays, sometimes, they were just glaring due to the time, but that's largely selection bias. This year LSU was 10th in number of plays given up greater than 10 yards. Last year they were 22. IN 2010 they were 10th again. Those are good numbers. The defense isn't giving up a ton of yardage per play. They are doing a really good job, on average.

And the rushing offense hasn't exactly been spectacular either. Last year we were 22nd, which is certainly good, but that's the best we've been since 2007. We also didn't really rush less. We were at about 40 att/g which is only 1 attempt a game off of the mark from last year and higher than some other years in the past 5 years. In yards/attempt we were 67th.

We are a power rushing team that is mediocre at rushing and downright poor at passing. Poor QB play is certainly a problem, but why do we consistently have poor QB play? It's either bad recruiting, bad development, or a paint-by-numbers offensive scheme that makes it nearly impossible for a QB to succeed because the defense is always one step ahead.

I personally think it's a mix of all three.
