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.

Some of them could be in both of the last categories. They could have been on the team, never played a down, then left. So they would be placed in both.

Here is the full article: LINK

quote:

Cameron “develops” each type of quarterback “separately,” the ex-player said, and Miles handcuffs quarterbacks when it comes to scampering out of the pocket — even in practice.

“Coach Miles is not a fan of making it up as you go,” the player said. “If a QB wanted to make a play with his feet, even in practice, Miles is not happy. That goes back to the failure to adapt to the new way. Why is he bringing in the dual threat if he’s not going to let them be ‘dual threat?' "

You don't have to be a numbers person to understand this, it's pretty simple...

In his first 11 years, Les signed 16 QB's. Of the 16, only 3 finished their career at LSU. Of the 16, 7 never played a down. Of the 16, 10 left or never arrived.
