Anyone else think Jefferson can be a Matt Mauck 2003 type of QB next year?

in the sense that...
both had very good mobility and were able to make some fine plays with their feet
both make shitty throws/decisions, but make just few enough of these mistakes so as not to cost LSU games (think the interceptions Mauck threw against OU, pick 6 on the very first play from scrimmage in Oxford, etc.).
Also both of these guys will have a very good running game and surrounding playmakers to rely on (Ware/Ford for Jefferson, and Vincent/Broussard/Addai for Mauck).

Matt Mauck was a more accurate passer.

one is white, one is black
how can they be similar players?

Mauck had awesome leadership skills and was fundamentally sound. JJ has a ways to go before he can be as good as Mauck. Part of this process will for JJ to be more humble and staying focused. Can he be like MM? Yes. Will he? Who knows. Maybe Mettenberger will make him better.

are you serious?

no
Mauck was exponentially better in every aspect of the game other than running the ball
I don't know how people can justify still having hope for JJ after watching him play the past few years

I have to agree. Mauck was a much better passer and made better decisions. Plus he was in my speech class and he was super nice guy. Smart as shite too.

Mauck broke the passing TD record.

Mauck was way more talented than Jefferson, but he was a turnover machine. He was absolutely terrible in big games

he had something like 3/4 td's and 12 turnovers against ranked teams in 03. He made up for it with 4 touchdown games against the likes of ULM
Mauck was more of a playmaker who took a lot of chances than a game manager. We had the best D in CFB history and the best oline in LSU history to make up for it

He had a pretty good game against Auburn.
It looks like he had 6 TDs in the 3 games against ranked teams in the regular season. He threw some picks, too. But at least he broke the century mark.

he was clearly better than JJ, but he wasn't the QB people make him out to be. He took risks, and shite the bed against UGA, Ole Miss, and OU

no. despite some turnover issues, Mauck's play generally trended up. his accuracy was bad early in 02, but he eventually became pretty reliable.
Jordan's accuracy is spotty at best and for the most part he was way worse last yr than in 09.
to take advantage of the playmakers around him, he has to be able to get them the ball with some consistency, and he hasn't come close to showing that.

No bet Mett could be, a little less mobile but shows great propensity towards quality decision making (see Juco stats).
The only question that I see at this point is how much command over the O he can have by spring camp. he's accustom to a pro set so I think he can be ready.

This does not compute with JJ

he def shite the bed vs. UF and OU. but if you play shitty early and make game winning TD passes like he did against UGA and Ole Miss, I tend to forgive (like I did for JR and Flynn).
