Muscles and Rasco were mostly over hyped star recruits who never really lived or played up to their potential. Their production will be very easy to replace.
What I meant by the only real loss being Kwon is that well simply put Kwon's don't just grow on trees. He was a playmaker flying all over the field.

This program is good for at 3 losses per year now until we see otherwise

I've been saying this for awhile now and been called a Homer. I am a homer, but the facts are the facts. The combination we have now of talent AND depth is as good as I can ever remember. If we get any kind of average QB play, undefeated seasons these next two years is not out of the ques tion. We are simply too fast and athletic for most college teams. Other SEC West teams have the same issues at QB that we do! Bama is the only team that rivals our talent and depth, as well as coach's salaries.

I think people are underselling just how awful Anthony Jennings was last season. Here's his line:
111/227, 1611 yards, 7.1 YPA, 11/7 TD/INT, 118.33 RATING
He ranks 86th in passer efficiency, and failed to rank in the top 100 in yards/game or in TD's thrown. And even with QB play that was among the worst in all of D1, LSU went 4-4 in the toughest conference in America. If LSU even gets competent QB play, and I don't mean good or even above average, just competent, in the Arkansas and Bama games, LSU wins the SEC West (with a 6-2 record, we would've taken the tiebreakers)
Think about that. Despite posting near historic levels of QB incompetence, LSU was on the cusp of winning the SEC West. That's how good the rest of the team is.

Same thing in 2014 draft. Lost our starting QB, top 3 WRs, starting RB (2 of the top 3), starting LG, and starting FB. Adding in learning a new OL scheme and with barely and experience anywhere else, last year was bound to happen, and we were still very close to another 10 win season.

Why would we be significantly better than last year?
I was wondering the same thing. What, if anything, has changed??
1. The only SEC team we play that returns more starters is Ole Miss.
2. Coach O will improve the D Line. We had 19 sacks last year. We've had under 20 sacks just twice (I believe) since 2001. 3 more well timed sacks and we would've been in the SEC championship game.
3. Harris accounted for almost 50 percent (45 percent) of the points from the QB position in 19 percent of the playing time. When you calculate Net points based on turnover ratio - he accounted for more points! There's no doubt that the QB position will be serviceable if not head and shoulders better with him at the helm. Don't bring up Auburn. It was a bad call by the staff. Harris still accounted for more yards than Jennings and never saw the field again (for all intents and purposes).

Exactly. OL returns 3 starters with good depth, WR/TE all return. Stable of physical, fast RBs led by LF. DTs are back, with good depth. New, more dynamic DE pass rushers are getting reps. MLB is back! OLBs (Jones/Louis) can hit and run. DB's collectively might be the best in the nation. What's not to like? Harris needs to be ready to play. Laser throws with his arm, and smart decisions with his feet to make plays, extend drives, and lead!

3 more well times sacks wouldn't have equaled 3 more SEC wins. LSU was 4-4 in the SEC last season.

Granted.. It could be a stretch, but I figure that definitely would've won Miss. State, and Bama. I think the team would've come out a lot different against Arkansas had we not suffered that deflating loss to Bama.
Either way, only Vandy had less sacks than us, and we were still in the SEC champ picture up to the Bama game.

What???
The LSU offense under Harris was substantially more productive in the 2 games before Auburn than anything Jennings showed. Geez, it was night to day different! The overwhelming opinion was to give Harris a shot, but after the fact it's "a bad call by the staff". 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful gift us fans.
Harris has told us he had a injury in the Auburn game which limited his playing time.

I'm curious. How do you "loose" to another team?

As factual as this is ....Most on here will not agree with this... Homers and pumpers won't see this and try best they can to spin it another way and find excuses everywhere.......... Does LSU have talent??? AS good as anyone in the country if not the best overall in the country....QB play is horrendous and head caching is questionable more than it should be........ Sorry but I see 8-5 9-4 at best... The SEC will continue to beat each other up .......

You heard it here, our best play is going to be Harris extending plays with his feet, Dural, Dupre, and Chark running deep, and Harris throwing it deep down field to one of them.

I don't think that was the problem for Harris in that game, sorry.

LSU lost to Bama in OT. We had 5 dropped passes, Alexander with the penalty that put us out of range to score the final TD, and then Chavis' s patented final drive collapse.
LSU lost to Notre Dame, where Chavis was on the phone with Sumlin that same day and players were told that he was leaving when they arise to the stadium. Not only could we not stop ND from scoring 28 points (defense hadn't given up more than 17 in regulation since the UF game), we again had a final drive collapse and they scored the winning FG.
That was a 10-3 season with all the problems we had just from the inexperience at so many positions.

You are wrapped around LSU too much and can't face reality... I noticed you didn't talk about the Arkie game....Reason??? Or just can't find any excuses............

Face it. The gumps have beaten us four times in a row. We are now subservient to them, until this team and coaching staff changes things. I don't care how "tough" we play them.
Every preseason now, we hear on here about our talent/how it will blossom/who we have coming back and how the gumps have lost so much talent/lost their quarterback/are rebuilding.
And every year now, we end up with 3-4-5 losses and the gumps end up in the playoffs/NC game.
I wonder why?

Let me rephrase then. I think (and thought) it was a bad call to give Harris what was apparently a "make or break" shot in an away game against a top 5 (at the time) SEC team. If the decision to withhold him from meaningful play during the remainder of the season was based on injury and not his performance in the Auburn game, then so be it. Otherwise, it was a bad call.
