His improvement from the bowl game has been much more than I imagined was possible. He has real potential to end his career on that list of elite LSU QBs.

While this may be true. Let's not crown him king just yet. We've only had two games so far, and one of those, where most of his stats got boosted was a cupcake team. (I know the other sec teams played cuppys too).
I like Jennings and I hope this streak he's on continues. Hell I hope he turns into the greatest QB LSU has ever had. But to be logical. He hasn't played with the pressure of the SEC elite teams blitzing him, or the SEC elite lock down corners defending against his passes yet.
TL;DR = Jennings is good, hope it continues. Let's wait and see.
Edit to not sound like a Debbie downer: GO JENNINGS and

He has played well. Very smart with the ball in the first 2 games.
Posted on 9/7/14 at 11:27 am to thunderbird1100
While I don't think he'll be top 5 in yards, he probably hits around 2600 yards and 20+ total TDs. That would be the best year one start to any young LSU QB ever!

Jeremy Johnson Auburn QB rating is over 220

Jennings has look good, he needs to perfect the short passes. Then he becomes even more dangerous. His deep balls, lol, look good .

Hopefully, CLM and Cam will TEACH Jennings to throw the short pass giving LSU more ammo as we play the SEC big boys ... Geaux Tigers!

There are only 6 QB's in all of NCAA Football with at least 30 passing attempts and a worse completion percentage than Jennings right now.
I think he's doing fine overall, but stats can be used to say he's doing great or doing terribly. The truth cannot be found in stats.

Not to split hairs but the number you are quoting is the QB efficiency. QBR is a different statistic.
AJ has improved on Tot QBR to a 77.1 (I think 100 is max but not sure). He is behind Kenny Hill - 94.0, Blake Sims - 87.5, and Nick Marshall - 79.5 in the SEC in QBR.
Still a great improvement from last week when he was at 39.0 in QBR.
FWIW see below

What Total QBR Captures
In particular for college football, we introduce this year the Total Quarterback Rating, also known as Total QBR or QBR. And, since college football has imbalanced schedules, QBR will be seen in both a form that adjusts for defenses faced – often called Opponent-Adjusted QBR or Adjusted QBR – and in a form that doesn't adjust for defense, often called Raw QBR or Unadjusted QBR.
The scale of QBR is from zero to 100, where 50 is average. Top quarterbacks are in the upper 80s and 90s for a season. Manziel, in fact, ranked first in QBR in 2012 with a value of 90.5. His unadjusted value was 86.4, also the best among FBS schools. The increase from unadjusted to adjusted reflects that he did face good defenses overall.
Unlike NCAA Passer Efficiency, which uses only box score statistics, Total QBR accounts for what a quarterback does on a play-by-play level, meaning it accounts for down, distance, field position, as well as the clock and score. A 5-yard gain on third-and-4 is a good play, whereas a 5-yard gain on third-and-14 isn't. A 20-yard touchdown pass when tied in the second quarter means more than a 20-yard touchdown pass when down 30 points late in the fourth quarter. QBR accounts for those things using analysis that turns traditional productivity into points on the scoreboard and wins in the standings.
It also accounts for a quarterback's ability to scramble, his ability to run on designed rush plays, how well he avoids sacks, drawing and committing penalties, and all-important fumbles, which can be significant for quarterbacks. If Texas A&M gained 5 yards on third-and-4, Manziel's contribution to that play is captured.
• If he threw it the full 5 yards and the receiver was immediately downed, Manziel gets a fair amount of credit for the throw, splitting it with pass blockers and the receiver.
• If he threw it a couple of yards behind the line of scrimmage to a running back, Manziel gets less credit because the receiver and any blockers in front of him did more of the work.
• If Manziel avoided a sack and scrambled for the 5 yards, he gets a lot of credit because his line gave up pressure and his receivers weren't open.
• If it was a designed rush for Manziel to get those 5 yards, he gets less credit than with a scramble because the offensive line often clears a couple of yards for a runner.
• If the defense was drawn offside, Manziel gets a modest amount of credit for that.
• If Manziel just turned to hand the ball off to a back for the 5 yards, QBR doesn't give Manziel any credit or even count it as an "action play" – our term for plays in which the QB gets some portion of the credit or debit.
These should make sense intuitively, and our analysis of the data supported these intuitions.

I still think he throws a better deep ball than Mettenberger without the arm. He needs to work on some things with his shorter throws and touch on other passes but with time he could be a really good QB. They need to stop running him on options though. He doesn't look comfortable running at all.
He has already displayed more deep throw accuracy than Mett ever did in his entire first year here. I think Mett completed 1 pass for over 30 yards the entire season.
He needs to work on progressions too. That's something I didn't notice in the game but could be wrong. If he doesn't learn to do that teams will eat him alive in the SEC. Need someone other than Dural in our offense and actually throw it to a goddamn TE...
We have like a million TEs on the roster and just use them as blockers.
