re: In all seriousness, what's the deal with LSU and it's QB's?

Dude! Bro! I started the party before Miles was our HC and now I am telling everyone to clean this QB mess up and leave me a tip for the hassle of being a positiger all these years

Dont hold your breath.....The shite they're pulling at QB defies explanation!

My close LSU friends, we complain about it all the time

All you can do is just laugh after you have pulled your hair out.

It defies understanding, so there can be no answer to it

it must be a test of our fanhood

I have no answer for LSU's QB issues. Makes you wonder how Ohio State can win a NC with a third string QB and we can't find anyone nearly as talented.

The current 2 were pretty bad this year. Why is this rehashed 1000 times. A better question is, why is there this myth that other schools are churning out allstars year after year. 2014 excluded, we've been up and down like everyone else

Why years ago option qb could to NFL and run pro style offences and today a high school qb can't come in and take snap from under center...take three to seven steps (while not chewing gum) and complete a pass...my money against an athletic player would be to fail a drug screen or a class(wow) would come first.

Why do you guys think beyond a shadow of a dought that receiving a football from under center or watching a ball from under center to there hands and throwing a pass to a open receiver is harder one way or another. Most of these (student athletes have been doing one way or another since they were 10. Probably while making c in the class room. Tired of hearing hard it is to step back three to seven steps...while two to four men run to a pre determine spot is so!!!! Complicated. Every idiot that owns an Xbox can read a safety and figure out where to throw a pass. Even if it's to the best receiver while in single coverage.

We are holding out for a gunner keil type and waiting to offer Prescott type until late and being rejected by both types.

Need Harris to prove wrong. The last 5 star qb ended up receiver.

Would have loved to seen Perilloux at qb.

Show us your championship rings if is so easy.
You are saying is that playing quarterback at LSU is no more difficult than playing Xbox?
Is that how you did it because you certainly fit the idiot part.

That is with a doubt the stupidest thing I have ever read.

Thanks again for proving the intelligence of the nagatiger

I wouldn't get so upset over that guys post. If you managed to read it, your comprehension skills are well above average. The post isn't even coherent at certain points. Lol.

On the subject about the quarterback, I truly believe that Harris will be our man and put in a lot of work this off season. He showed in his limited playing time that he is capable of running the offense and putting up points while passing the ball accurately.

The truth is that we gave up on him while putting him in terrible situations at Auburn. Harris as a true freshman went to top 10 Auburn, which is a very hostile atmosphere. Out of the first 20 plays LSU ran the ball 17 times, with a lot of negative downs and penalties. When LSU did throw the ball it was on obvious passing downs for long yardage (6-7+ yards) On those plays, Auburn's defense could just pin their ears back and send everybody at Harris, who was scrambling for his life on passing downs. All of that is happening in our first 3-4 possessions on offense while our defense is playing similar to a leaking sieve, allowing Auburn to score on every possession. If Im remembering correctly, LSU was down 17 before we even gained a first down. That game was not just "a poor showing" by Brandon Harris. LSU's powerful running game was even stuffed in short yardage. The fact that Miles and Cam put Harris in that situation with the whole team playing poorly, and then abandoned him sans a few plays against Kentucky for the rest of the season is just dumb. It had to have stripped him of a lot of confidence. I still think that after a good spring/summer that he'll restore some of that confidence and come back slinging. The kid is athletic as hell and has a great arm. You could see what he's capable of during the new mexico state game. I know they're a poor man's team of the deaf, dumb, and blind but those plays that are being run will work against a good defens. I think if theyre executed properly like in that game and used in the correct situation without being so predictable (17 out of 20 plays running the ball and only passing on 3rd and long,) our offense will be just fine.

Honestly I'm glad it's the off season and that Harris will have time to regroup and win the job back.

TL;Dr Harris will be the man, he just needs to gain his confidence back.

Sorry if the post has a shite ton of mistakes, just typed all of it out on my phone.

Finally someone puts the Auburn game in the correct light in stead of saying Harris played horrible. LSU defense gave up 17 points, our offense basically ran the ball conservative and we all understand Les did not want to lose the game from the start. Auburn defense line saw blood and went after Harris, we put him in a bad situation and he never recovered.

The off season will heal all wounds and Harris will be back in the Fall

I think you hit all of the issues. To me, it is Cam's inability to adjust to the talent he has. Our offense was great with Mett, Landry, ODB and Hill. We had all the pieces to run Cam's offense.

let me add to my wall of text something about cam

he runs a very complex scheme that may be too much for the vast majority of CFB QBs to run. if they can't run it, we get the most vanilla shite-tasitc offense known to man

when he came in, mett had spent almost 2 years at "QB School" at UGA, a year in JUCO, and 2 years at LSU. he was a RS Sr QB who had been coachaed up early by the best and had just seen a lot.

picking up a complex scheme wasn't anything for an elite dude like that. i fear that the scheme is way too much for a normal QB in CFB. on top of being elite, it's way too much for a young, normal QB in CFB. that's the scary part. we may be in another JJ/Lee scenario where we have to watch harris/jennings crash and burn until our next recruits are upperclassmen

They're trying to make spread QBs successful in a pro-style offense. Simple. It's an uphill battle for anyone.

That's not even taking into account that trying to find a SEC-caliber QB in HS is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I know people say well simplify the offense. If you're going to do that then what's even the point of having a Cam in the organization?
