Seems to me it's a combination of things like accuracy, being late on some throws, not reading the coverages correctly.

Harris might not have this problem if he would have played more last year. Should have had Harris play over Jennings last year.

None of those QBs have Les Miles holding their development back. How can people still come on this board and trash a QB for not looking good in a Les Miles coached offense? Russell, Flynn, and Mett showed us the only good QB play under Les and it was only in their final seasons. So out of 11 seasons, only 3 have seen consistent good QB play. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Mett did this a lot, too. OBJ and Landry were rocked quite often in 2012

My list is MUCH longer....

Lot of good names on that list. See, I'm not saying it doesn't happen. Since we have had problems having a decent jr/Sr qb developed by this staff why would we put ourselves in a position to have a true sophomore be the starter?

Hell, we rushed him in as a true freshman.

They always wait until we are playing from behind in big games and he's put in high pressure situations. I fully blame coaching for his development issues.


Guy started in hs and has had two years to practice his throws. Him being innacurate has nothing to do with the coaches. You'd think by now the guy has thrown the football enough to get a touch on the ball.

4.25. Jmarc started in 05/06. Mett came around in the last few games of 12.

I don't really fault him or the coaches considering the shuffling they had to do on the oline due to injures in 2012.

I don't think Miles and company help much with their history of not coaching up QB's.

You right about one thing we shouldn't hate on any of the players! However I totally understand what people are trying to say! We have some of the best athletes! The issues we have can be corrected. We can't be so predictable with play calling or formations. Passing is more than throwing the ball. If the defense can read the quarterback or play so easily then he has the advantage. Players will never build the nessasary skills without enough reps and trusting each other to be in the right spots. One of the best plays over the middle last year with a wide open receiver was because of the misdirection made by the qb. It isn't that hard to correct some of these issues unless we are to stubborn and determined to think we can just muscle everyone around.

Not bragging that I already knew Dural was out for the season already.

I saw the poor kid limping at the store Sunday night.

I am so sick of LSU fans hating on players. Harris didn't get his guys killed. It's a violent sport. He's put the ball in their hands all season and they have dropped it too.


I agree with your sentiment but you have to admit the throw to dural was ridiculously off.
