Good post. Thanks for the time put in. Only thing I would say doesn't jive with the rest of your post is this:

When LSU starts underclassmen at QB, these are the results:

2012: 10-3 (6-2 SEC) lost to Bama


Can we really call Mett an underclassman at that point? He had a lot of game time under his belt albeit at the Juco level but it was still more than some of the "experienced" QBs referenced in the OP. Just my 2 cents

Fair point. Even putting 2012 in the veteran list still proves the trend. 10 win season with only 2 SEC losses. Similar to 2010.

Even more proof that our only down years are with first or second year players in the system at QB

Yeah he got that point wrong. Mett in 2012 was a 4th year player at the time. A year in UGA with Bobo who has a laundry list of great QB play, a year at Butler that shells out QBs with high passing numbers, then a year at LSU before he started.

Mett wasn't too bad. His pocket awareness and his deep passing game were the major problems, but people probably forgot that we lost like 3 OL and Alfred Blue in the 1st half of the season. The WRs also had terrible hands until November. Mett completes a 3rd down pass against Bama and we are likely 12-2 at worst because we would have won the West. I actually think we had the same chance to beat UGA as Bama did and demolish Notre Dame as well.

Yea that was really the only outlier, could've gone either way. Funny how that year we had the best record of the listed years.
