Dd Fisher coach defense as well? Because those units were better than anything Chavis put out.

Was Jarrett Lee not a returning starting QB?

Starting two games because the other guy got injured doesn't make the backup a returning starter.

Do I need to explain why I didn't include this year?

In the last two years of the Jordan Jefferson era, LSU went 24-3 and won the SEC Championship.

We should be so lucky.

AJ making a turnaround would be akin to converting a safety to QB IMO

In his first fifteen starts, JJ completed more than 60% of his passes 8 times and failed to break 50% twice.

In 14 starts AJ has broken 60% once and failed to break 50% nine times.

AJ makes JJ look like Tom Brady.

AJ as starter = NO confidence That's not being negative...just realistic. I just don't want to be here in 12 months with people still making excuses for him followed by saying "this" is his year.

There's no question at this stage in their development that Jefferson was farther along than Jennings. 2009 was really a remarkable year for JJ when you consider that he was playing behind the worst OL I have witnessed at LSU. Our offense rushed for 1400 yards on the season.

The essential difference is that in 2010, Crowton completely stunted Jefferson's development before losing his position at season's end. Jennings has the benefit of having an offensive coordinator that is also a QB coach.

But most importantly, throwing the football is only a portion of the responsibilities of a quarterback, which is why Jennings started over Harris last year.

Um, that just makes the current situation worse. In that year, with AJ, we would've been Vandy bad. Worse really.

The dude is just fricking terrible. He would have to make historic improvement to as good as a two QBs we all know weren't very good.

Your thread starts with a premise about how we have been with returning QBs but we have never been returning a total shite fest like this. The guys we point to as examples of bad LSU QBs that improved were LIGHT YEARS better than AJ so, there is virtually no comparison between other years of returning QBs and this one.

How is a better overall team a worse situation? You'll have to explain that one to me.

The only time that Cameron returned the same QB from the previous season, Mettenberger made the biggest single year improvement in LSU history.

Those QBs also went their entire careers without a QB Coach. Now LSU has a very good one. Though I argue that Lee was equally as terrible in 2008, Jennings is more properly positioned for maturation.

I dont appreciate being misquoted

Better QB play wouldn't have stopped Cam Newton from rushing for 400 against our defense or prevented Arkansas from scoring an 80 yard TD at the end of the first half.

Ryan Mallett threw for over 300 and Knile Davis rushed for 150. Thats not good defense.

How much did we lose to those teams by.... Did you know if you score more points Than the opposing team you win the game!!!! Which means if you had a qb to stretch the field we would have scored more points which means we prolly Win those games jack a$$

This is the same guy who started Andrew Hatch as our freaking starting quarterback. So yea, there is plenty to worry about!

Um, we're talking about the QB situation and as you point out, the team JJ was working with didn't support him NEARLY as much and yet AJ was still WAY WORSE than JJ. Hence, the gap between the two is actually worse than stats alone tell you. AJ in 2009 would've been an unmitigated catastrophe. Meanwhile, if we had JJ 2009 in 2014, we might win the damned national title!

quote:

So, JJ was DRAMATICALLY better than AJ in his first 15 starts despite AJ having a "good" QB coach. Ok. That sort of makes my point don't ya think?

quote:

Though I argue that Lee was equally as terrible in 2008
And you're argument would be shite. JL was more mistake prone and that was driven in large part by the fact that he HAD to throw more than AJ. JL attempted 42 more passes over the course of 3 fewer games. Moreover, even in that godawful year for JL, he completed greater than 60% of his passes 4 times and greater than 50% 2 more times for a total of 6 out of 11 starts. JL proved that despite the INTs, he was actually capable of moving the LSU offense with his arm. AT NO frickING POINT THIS YEAR did AJ ever even sort of show us that he could do this.

This is how bad AJ is. AJ is so fricking bad, that we actually look back at a QB situation that the fans recognized as a complete train wreck with fricking fondness!
