What about 2015?



Hasn't fricking happened yet.

You think the guy who is supremely talented but was a true freshman last year won't improve?

How exactly are they not doing their research and doing what is necessary to find quality quarterbacks? I'll wait for your reply.


Jennings was a miss, does not have the tools to lead us to an SEC title. I think we can all agree there. So for 2015 we're all in on a talented but possibly lazy sophomore. And everyone is ok with that? lol ok

QBs don't improve under Miles and Cam. Ask Mettenberger

Yes i believe LSU is not putting the same amount of effort and research into recruiting QBs as other positions. I believe the past 10 years of results proves my point.


You believe that, ok. I disagree.

I think the recruitment, signing, and development of a bunch of 17-18 year olds is more complicated that you are making it out to be.

I totally agree there. But can you agree we've been really bad at it when it comes to the QB position?

However, the fact that we're not bringing in a big time QB prospect or Juco that could compete immediately is concerning
pretend that Harris or Jennings is transferring in

Felipe Franks is the #2 QB in the country for 2016 and committed to LSU. LSU is also aggressively recruiting Shea Patterson, the #1 QB in the country for 2016.

How exactly are they not doing their research and doing what is necessary to find quality quarterbacks? I'll wait for your reply.

I didn't say that.. I'm just not comfortable with the idea of him being our only option. We needed a valid JUCO whether you can admit it to yourself or not.

Felipe Franka is a 5* dual threat QB. Shea Patterson is a 5* Pocket passer. Both are great talents. This year we bring in McMillan who is underrated IMO. He may not win the job, but he'll certainly press the other two. Who knows? If Harris doesn't mature as expected and Jennings is Jennings anything can happen.

LSU recruits QBs. Since CCC has come to LSU, big name QBs are eyeballing LSU.

By the way. Aren't we supposed to give coordinators 3-4 years to implement their style and recruit their types of players..? Don't answer that. The answer is yes.

With the film that's out there on Jennings..I don't believe he could transfer to Tulane.

This is the only year that QB play was so bad you could not work around it. Overall we have had 3 of our 6 starting QBs collect NFL checks since 2005, hell Lee even collected a check.

I count our starters as Russell, Flynn, Lee, Jefferson, Mett, and Jennings.

That's my point we shouldn't have to "work around it". We should be good at it. Like 2013

Well....improving requires playing time which the coaches don't seem to want to give him even in a throwaway season, so....

Jennings is still in college and Jefferson signed a contract with the Bucs... So LSU is batting 1.000
