If you could see a list of reasons why we lost to Bama that Les wrote down on paper, QB play would probably be last on his list (5 or 6 reasons down) or not even on his list at all.
And I'd agree with him. We were drumming Bama, in part because AJ was gashing them by running out of the pocket. Then AJ had to make a throw to keep a drive going He did it! But Quinn dropped it. That was pretty much his last opportunity, iirc. Except that in OT, he executed the first play perfectly, but Jones dropped it! The second pass was a beauty, but the Bama defender made a big league play. For the life of me, I can't remember the third. On fourth down he did what he could in a tough situation, and gave us a chance with a well thrown ball to Dupre. Maybe interference could have been called. He could have run for the first down, but a QB has to choose whether to keep his eyes downfield or not. Plus he doesn't know if he's about to get hit from behind.
From all of this, you get that the QB was the problem? I list the problems like this:
1. Quinn, catch the friggin ball.
2. Vadal, don't lose your cool
3. Kicker, WTF?
4. Jamal, Tackle the receiver in bounds.
5. Jones, catch the friggin ball.
6. AJ, Can you please get the ball to Quinn when he's wide open?
7. Dupre, Catch the friggin ball.

Not me. I agree with what you said. Jennings could have played better, of course, but he is not the reason we lost the game.

QB play was a factor in the Bama game but by no means the only one.
My point, is that before and during the Bama game, our fundamental approach to O was flawed (and has been since '08 because Les overreacted to the turnover fest).
Hence, Les doesn’t really expect or demand that our QB’s function more proficiently. It’s no longer part of the game plan.
