re: Jennings only threw one interception over the last 7 games last year

Why do you think Jennings started all year? Miles has a phobia over interceptions. I think he sees Harris as more of a gunslinger, more reckless and prone to throw interceptions!
All great passers throw interceptions. It comes with the territory. As long as they throw high completion % and a good number of touchdowns and win, the interceptions fade into the background.
Miles is not factoring this into the equation. The result is a hesitant, overly conservative, low completions %, ineffective QB with fewer interceptions and a number of LSU losses that shouldn't have happened.
It is why Jarrett Lee was benched in favor of Jefferson when he was 7-0 but had a number of pick 6's a couple of years ago.
I honestly think Jennings would be a much better QB if he wasn't trying to avoid interceptions working to please Miles (and maybe Cam as well). He is playing "not to lose" because of coaches who are also playing "not to lose". How many times has LSU lost in big games over the last couple of years because of prevent defense after taking a lead late in the game? Alabama twice, Georgia, Ole Miss and maybe a couple of others. (Given that this strategy may have been called by Chavis rather than Miles)
Don't get me wrong! I love Les Miles. He has great character! He fosters great family atmosphere! He is smart, and funny! He recruits well! The players love him! I just wish he would give the QB's a little slack and let their natural abilities surface.
I love Anthony Jennings as well! He also has great character! He is a great team player! He plays his heart out in every game! He has excellent talent! Remember that he finished 3rd in the Elite 11 QB competition nationally in his Sr. year in HS. If the coaches loosen the leash, no telling what he might accomplish!
All that being said, I am extremely positive for 2015. I believe the coaches do indeed have more confidence this year and the QB's will see this and likewise exude confidence that will propel the Tigers to tremendous heights this year. I can't wait!!

He threw only 13 times per game and barely threw 1 touchdown per game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a decent backup but not an SEC starter.

He was talking about attempts against good teams. AJ passed a lot against sucky teams that increased his average.

honestly, he throws so few interceptions for the same reason he throws so few TDs.. the coaches don't trust him to throw

Stick with the agenda....repeat after me, "Jennings is terrible and he only plays cause he is the Miles favorite and he will start the season not matter if Harris has become Drew Brees like!"
TRUE
Miles has always played Favorites and given them countless chances to redeem themselves.

FALSE
Can't agree at this time... You realize he went thug and got arrested breaking in someones apt. It showed a lack of good judgement, feeling of being above the law and Not being a Leader... (Something all Great QB's have) !!

Doubt this. Mett threw it about 2.5 times less in 13-14 than in 12-13.

In 2013 Mettenberger averaged 24.6 attempts per game. He passed for 3082 yds, 22 TDs & 8 INTs. In 2006 J. Russell averaged 26.3 attempts per game. He passed for 3129 yds, 28 TDs & 8 INTs. Those were the two best passing years in the Miles era. My guess is you'll never see a Miles coached team average anywhere near 35 attempts per game. Just the way it is.

Starting with the Kentucky game and ending with Notre Dame (last 7 games), Jennings had 64 completions in 134 attempts with 4 interceptions.

I thought he threw two in the Ole Miss game.

He can't throw a quick out. He locks on to Dural, regardless of coverage. He does not throw receivers open. He absolutely cannot throw over the middle. He cannot complete a screen pass. He holds the ball too long. Other than that, he's starting quality.

Jennings isn't even a D1 talent. He is beyond terrible. After 2 years with this guy on our campus and suffering through him as our QB as a starter for 1 year, I have seen enough. I can promise you he will never be close to what would pass as serviceable as our signal caller and leader. Seal the vault and try something else. Anything else.
