so they had a year to a year and a half if they wear Early Enrollees.

Ok, so again why do we have continued problems with guys who are in the system for this same amount of time?

Bradford
Mazeil
Winston
Barrett
Leinart
were all Redshirts

And 3 of the 5 were playing for Offensive specialist HCs, and the other two had previous Heisman winning QBs coached by their OCs.

Kiffin was one of Leinart's QB coaches and Leinart was coached by Norm Chow.

You want to know what all those coaches did to help make those players succeed? They adjusted their offenses to fit the players rather than trying to force them into their offense. Sumlin was upfront before Manziel's Heisman season that he had to change things to fit Manziel in his scheme and playcalling.

That is the difference with LSU. They don't develop QBs because they try to force square pegs into round holes. This happened with JJ who was a pro-style QB all the way with mobility, but when they started pushing him to be more of a runner, his passing abilities went to crap.

It's also nice how most of you seem to forget that in 2012 our WRs were horrendous with dropped passes. I remember in the UW game in that year that Mett had like 5 of his 6 incompletions be perfect passes that were flat out dropped by the likes of Landry and Beckham. He was showing signs of his 2013 form from the beginning and got better with experience which fans saw in the Bama game and those following it minus the bowl game with games of 296, 282, and 273 yards against SEC foes. Hell even in the Arky game that year he had 217 yards passing.

The bowl game made everyone question him again, but the whole team played like crap. Cameron gets way way too much credit for Mett's development and people ignore how much improved our top 2 WRs were in 2013.
