Crazy Stats on Miles and QB Recruiting

Looks bad? No context or comparisons make me unsure.

Eta: what does the second one mean? Finished at lsu as QB?

QB recruiting under Les Miles (first 11 yrs): Signed: 16 Finished at LSU as QB: 3 Never played a down: 7 Left/never arrived: 10

I'm not a numbers person, so forgive my math but I'm confused:
If he signed 16, and 3 only played, that leaves 13.
Of that 13, only 7 never played a down, that leaves 6.
Yet 10 either left or never arrived?
That is -4 in my book unless I'm comparing apples and oranges to which might be the case.

RS for example, was used as WR but recruited as QB, JJ started but transferred. Those are 2. I'm probably missing some, but the numbers don't make sense, which is why I'm not much into stats.

Now, I'm an anti-Miles from way back, but Dellinger's numbers are not adding up.

Shitty QB play, recruitment, development, yes I see that and wish Miles the best on his future endeavors, but these numbers have me puzzled.

Not trying to flame or trolling, if a numbers person can "splaine" it to an old dog who learned mathematics in the 1970's, I would "preciate" it. Hell I could use those stats in another rant later on should the need arise.

I couldn't care less what percentage of QBs played, didn't play, didn't finish, didn't who up, etc. I'm only worried about those who did play. We can assume that the people who played were the ones Miles thought were best, so those are the ones who deserve to be judged.

All of those QBs combined for 1484/2584 - 57.4% - 19,717 yards - 141 TDs - 76 INTs and a passer rating of 133.6. As a group they would have been ranked 75th in the country in completion percentage last year. They would have ranked 54th in passer rating and 43rd in yards per attempt.

Mediocre gets thrown around way too much on this board, but it fits perfectly to describe the passing game since 2007. At this point it doesn't matter what the real problem was. OL, scheme, bad QBs, bad OCs, etc. - it all falls on the head coach after this long.
