re: BIG TALK: Miles says QB must throw for 250 yards/game

Is he talking for the whole season??? Surely, not a game...

Hahahahahah

Yeah really. He has to take to the coaching though. Think about Baylor's offense. They have these 3 star QBs (Griffin was a 4 star, but only went to Baylor because Texas recruited him as a DB), yet still are consistent year to year.

Just using the last 4 years where they have been relevant with the new offense

Passing only

2011
RG3 4 star 5th ranked dual threat 253rd player in country - 72.4% 4293 yards 10.7 ypa 37 TDs 6 ints

2012
Nick Florence 3 star 11th ranked dual threat 622nd player in country - 61.6% 4309 yards 9.3 ypa 33 TDs 13 ints

2013
Bryce Petty 3 star 29th ranked pro style 802nd player in the country - 62% 4200 yards 32 TDs 3 ints

2014 in only 12 and a half games (he was hurt in one and missed another)
Bryce Petty - 63% 3855 yards 9.0 ypa 29 TDs 7 ints

Oh yeah and the one pro style QB in Petty, has 300 rushing yards and 20 rushing TDs over the last two years.

Look at that. Not a lick of drop off. So if guys less talented than Harris can succeed year after year, why not Harris? Look I know all of these guys were in their 3rd and fourth years as well. I'm not expecting Harris to be that damn good next year. I just what decent passing.

Let's start here. Mett threw it 352 times in 2012. He throws for 2600 yards and 12 TDs on 58.8% at 7.4 ypa. This was before Cam's system. If our QB is competent passing the ball, his yards per attempt should never be below 9.0 because of the downfield system Cam likes to utilize. So a simple 60% completion on 325 passes at 8.5 ypa with at least 20 TD passes should be doable correct? I mean, we bring everybody back at WR plus Smith, plus Fournette, plus Guice who they have catching passes at the Army AA game. That's not asking too much in this day and age right?

At least all the other good coaches out there know that Les is on the hot seat.

Even if the "decision time" is after a lot of other schools fire their coach, they know that the coaching search will be on at LSU.

Say Holgorson gets fired, at least we know that the best available guy won't go to Couch Fire U if he knows that the LSU position will open.

If this is Miles' last ditch effort, it was a lil too late. But the word is out.

Can you think of a good reason or selling point as to why a good JUCO QB would want to waste his future career in Miles' fiasco of an offensive scheme.

He couldnt beat out Jennings.

He's played football all of four years. Every scout called him extremely raw. He's also 6'3 less than 190lbs and doesn't know the playbook.

Nobody has talked down the things said about him bring immature and not working hard in practice. Some are adding that he hasn't gotten the playbook yet.

Those are all easy reasons as to why he hasn't play more. Some of it is stupid, but it is what it is. Even the media (all LSU media) is running with the fact that he's not doing what he is supposed to be doing.

Like I said, the guy has the talent. You don't get rated as the #4 dual threat after one year of playing football. He rose as high as #3 dual threat and 70 something in the country. I said he'd need two years of practice and learning back when we were recruiting him, so I never had expectations of him playing year one in the first place.

I dont disagree. I personally thought harris should have started since the moo st loss.

False hope, lee. I cant ALWAYS be right.

I dont think hes very good but he was never able to get in a rhythm only throwing 15-20 passes a game.

Completion precent is much more importantly than yards. Give me a qb that goes 12 for 13 130 yards 2tds and ill guarentea a w
