Jennings is a "deer in the headlights" right now. I think he has been stunned by the fear of screwing up and he is too hesitant now. I noticed last night that he is holding the ball too long or waiting for receivers to get waaaaay open. He has not made many quality throws on timing routes over the middle or backshoulders. He would be better off counting to three and taking off running. I see why the coaches are not calling many pass plays...


Exactly what happened to JJ. He refused to throw up risky passes, and while he had less INTs than say Lee, he took an inordinate amount of sacks which can be just as crippling. LSU ranked 105th in 2009 (his year starting and playing pretty much every game).

Jennings has taken 13 sacks to Harris' 3 given playing time does affect that. While sacks are generally better than INTs, they can kill an offense just as much as INTs.

Also, people aren't looking for a spread offense, but hell one like that in 2006 or 2007 is more what people would like to see. A more open offense with creative playcalling that uses all the positions. While that takes an experienced QB, it also keeps teams from just stacking the box.
