re: Bottom line -- you can't win without QB play

I agree. You can't treat pass get like a trick play and then expect guys to execute in the clutch part of games.

Neither Jennings nor Harris were considered chopped liver when we recruited them out of high school.

Joshua Dobbs and Kyle Allen went into very hostile atmospheres as freshmen, excelled, and won... by passing the ball... frequently. The attitude of THEIR head coaches? You're our quarterback, we recruited you to do something you're about to do. Do it.

What sort of confidence and performance can we expect from OUR quarterbacks when we pass, for the most part, as something we'd rather not do?

Could not agree more. No QB can be successful when your number one priority from the first snap is to limit mistakes. Every great QB that has ever played has mistakes. There is always going to be that risk of that in any game. However, Miles is so focused on limiting mistakes that he is absolutely willing to forgo giving his QB a real chance to make plays in the passing game or develop into a successful QB.

The problem lies 100% on Les Miles. This is the 5th out of 6 years that LSU has been abysmal in the passing game. In that span you have had 5 QBs; 3 OCs, and one common denominator. Until he he willing to trust the passing game and be willing to live with the mistakes that come with it, it's going to be the same story
