Is JJ's upside enough to contend for an SEC championship?

JJ has shown some growth. JJ can achieve a good completion ratio and avoid INT's. JJ is good at protecting the ball (goo ball handler). JJ can throw a nice spiral and display good accuracy when he has a pocket, and reasonably good on the roll out also.
JJ needs improvement in seeing the field and progressing through his receiver options. JJ struggles with executing the option. JJ seems tentative to throw and execute the bubble screen and screen passes in general.
With the seeming improved Offensive line and running game, is JJ's upside good enough to lead LSU to consistent offensive production under Gary Crowton's scheme? Can LSU really challenge to win the SEC West and SEC with JJ at the helm?
Flynn needed a lot of time and was a 5th year Sr to come into championship form (when healthy).
Can JJ get there this year? Next year?

yes, but the defense and running game need to kick arse.

After the UNC game, I'm more worried about our defense and our unwillingness to get the ball to RS as a playmaker.

Yeah, why not? It's not like any of the other SEC teams QB are going to be mentioned in the heisman race this year. If they can win the championship then why can't we? (other than our coaches spoiling it for us)

If JR can turn around a be a 1st round draft pick his junior year following a crappy sophomor year anything is possible.

Of course.
JJ is #47 on our list of worries. He's not the second coming of Joe Montana, but he'll be fine. 15 for 21, 2TD and 1 int (from memory) is just about all we need week in and week out.

YES! if the defense holds the other teams to 10 points per game we could win 10-11 games.

people are raving about Garcia at South Carolina and JJs qb rating after 1 game is higher than his, so why not? I feel like I saw some improvement and he is in the same boat as Miles, people don't like him and will look more at the bad plays to validate their opinion than looking at the positives.

We almost beat Alabama with JJ/JL a year ago, so if either has improved and plays to their ability, then of course we can get there this year. The key is having a good game when we need the QB to have one. It is going to happen at some point this year, and JJ needs to be able to succeed when the pressure is on. I think he can.

5 T/O's have a way of limiting how many times anyone gets the ball. imo
Posted on 9/9/10 at 11:54 am to therocketscientist
If the JJ that beat Ga Tech ever shows up, we can beat anyone.

NO
Posted on 9/9/10 at 12:05 pm to cajunjj
no (unless defense and return average a TD a game)
Posted on 9/9/10 at 12:06 pm to cajunjj
Yes, but just barely. To me, a lot of it has more to do with the rest of the team than with JJ. He has his talents and his limitations. We need to be a team with a strong running game and consistently rugged defense. If we are, JJ is good enough.

easily, he'll get better. The haters need to check themselves. Miles is the winninest coach in LSU history. Period
They looked more explosive on offense and special teams then I would have guessed. Sure they have stuff to work on, who doesn't?
