re: Does anyone think having a talent like Miller or Golson would really

I hope we get Miller. Gives us a upgrade at QB and gives Harris more time to mature and grow.

You going to clarify this Victor Craig situation?

Umm, no.

During his recruiting process I freely supplied information on the recruiting board and b/c I didn't come out and say he was committing elsewhere, they damn near crucified me on there. I'm keeping my mouth shut and y'all will find out shite when it's released to the media from here on out.

Here ya go LINK

They both have been developed with coaches that know how. Yes it would be different.

They stuck with it because it won us games. Plays were there to be made in the passing game. We had a starter that is a career 50% passer. When Harris started, he went 3/14.

Metts first year he had to earn the trust because he had never achieved anything at D1 level. If they bring in Miller who is former B10 player of year (twice) and Heisman candidate, you only bring him in to go all out. What would be the point of bringing him and then just running same basic offense you were stuck with. So to answer your question, yes. If he comes I do think the offense is going to open up.

Yes.

And a return question. Do you think AJ or BH looked just a little comfortable in the pocket this year? Hard to open up the offense when your QB doesn't show much confidence in the pocket.
On a positive note, I still think AJ & BH can develop into solid players, they were just not ready to be the guy this year.

I think we threw the a lot with Russel, Flynn, Lee (freshmen to the wrong team) and people booed him off the field and on this board and then praised him his senior year (after he neve developed as a qb, because we don't develop qb at LSU), and with Met.

We did the samething this year Saban did in 2004. Lined up Alley Brussard and pounded because Randall and Russell couldn't complete a pass.

Mett was in the system for two years before he caught fire his senior season. These guys will be here for only one season

With a guy like Golston, you have to assume that he can do many basics well, and the challenge would be mostly terminology. He should be able to read his progressions, "feel" the pass rush, etc.

Offensive formations, no matter how different, all work the same way for a QB in a passing game. You're trying to see, pre-snap, what the defense is doing. If Golston can read a linebacker or safety, or spot a blitz, that would translate fine to LSU. He just would have different personnel to throw it to. At Notre Dame he had advanced to having more receivers in patterns than Jennings or Harris could handle, so he'd be fine here.

I actually like the offensive approach in the final two games. Add an efficient passer to the mix and LSU can put up some points next year.
