I picked them for several reason
1. players i remembered
2. all played at high level without taking a snap

Blake Sims had 39 passing attempts before taking over.

It isn't a prerequisite to success. Also it doesn't lead to success the next year 100%.

You can't say Mett was ready because of UGA and JUCO, but wasn't ready because we didn't play him in 2011.

There are very few QBs that got a large amount of snap before they were a starter. IF a Qb has more than 30 passes in a season before they are a starter its usually because they starter was injured.

But, the point of my post is that Mett was developed at schools where he wasn't taught that interceptions are the root of all evil.

I think Mett's not playing in 2011 was more for x's and o's reasons. He was essentially a true freshman in terms of his grasp of the playbook. But, personally, he has already matured as a QB.

That's essentially what my theory is. That LSU isn't able to develop young QB's because they are being punished for throwing interceptions in practice. As a result, they're growing up in an environment where they're scared to make a mistake. Mett had already developed moxie and confidence. It's easy to see that. Even with the Titans.

all of them played in great offenses. I would say with the best offensive coaches in college. Something LSU lacks.

What does that tell you? Alabama has better coaching? Better offense?

Never said it was but it definitely aids in development. I guess you don't think playing young players in blowouts on the oline, defense...etc doesn't help them develop?

i would think he would have been rusty. Still takes some time to get used to D1 speed. He looked great against bama in 2012...who is to say with a little more development in 2011 he wouldn't have had a better first year starting and possibly a better senior year?
