re: Let Us Discuss the QB Position at LSU

Is this the earth shattering thread you were spouting off about on the scoreboard last night? If so, I am disappoint

Interesting that you couldn't address a single point in the OP. You're so obsessed with the poster, that it's all you could mention. Pathetic.

---

When someone shows up with something interesting and original I might comment. I didn't see anything the least bit unexpected or had not been posted many times before in one way or another.

Why are you concerned with me when you could be telling us what is wrong with the baseball team and how you would have done a better job than the coaching staff?

The bigger problem at hand is scheme. "Lesticles" lost it after 2008 and the trickledown effect continues. Lee, JJ, mett in 2012 (with the same pieces as 2013), jennings, and harris all arrived on campus with the talent. I recall people thinking rettig was the next GOAT. These guys hardly have a chance when they are being plugged in to this mindfrick of a system that isnt tailored to them and the playmakers around them. Thats an advantage of the spread especially when the kids have been playing in it since 7th grade but i dont want to be a spread specific team, we can run power and all that good shite but our passing game is a complete farce and other than the 2013 outlier i cant see it changing. Everything is so low fricking percentage. We cant employ a screen game nor a play action element. Its extraordinary.

Our pass pro has been bad which is worse when the qb needs time to hit his guy on a low arse percentage vertical route. fricking syracuse and EMU were keyed into all of it. Harris got fricking auto sacked against cuse's 3-man rush because he had no outlet while his receivers are hauling arse downfield with no slant or crosser to turn to. Vadal and hawkins have been bad, but again, scheme.

I disagree about mett in the op, he could spin it and unfortunately it took the geniuses at the top more than a season to see it.

Imagine supplementing this rush attack with a COMPETENT passing game. We cant keep blaming the players, its a cop out for the miles maniacs who truly believe their battle captain has it all figured out.

This team has so much potential. The program has so much potential but i dont ever feel secure. The two best coaches on this staff are position coaches, the rest are recruiters or just shitty coaches. Look back at our 2007 staff and marvel at how we fell bassackwards into that title. That staff was littered with barbecue stains. Porter, mccarthy, stud, mallory, peveto, lane. And the guy at the top.

We all want to love les but this team continues to be hamstrung by THE SAME shite THAT HAS REARED ITS UGLY HEAD FOR SEVEN YEARS.

evenrually (at least i hope) you just stop caring. I love LSU football and i dont want to ever stop caring. Its not easy to jump behind THE HAT because he is so zany and wacky and wears that jacket even when its ninety seven thousand degrees so leople will say "did you see that wacky les and his goofy jacket even thoufh it was Ninety seven thousand degrees? LOL!"

Les has so much more potential as a coach. As a man he couldnt be any better. Its juat frustrating man. It just doesnt feel like any of these consistent issues will change until hes gone and i dont want to anticipate him going because i want to enjoy every game, but as the TL;DR version of this post will tell you, its getting harder and harder to enjoy.

I know critical thinking and airing frustrations is frowned upon by miles nation, but this place is, after all, called the RANT. thats all i find myself doing - ranting - when i watch these guys play.

/rant (until next week)

Spot on!!!

At this point I wouldn't mind seeing Jennings in for a drive. He might have improved over last season. If that doesn't work, the McMillan.

I would normally blame the passing game on CLM's meddling, but his affect is usually on throwing passes over everyone's heads. The problem with Jennings and Harris has been a complete lack of touch.

Next year will be the first year we will have a stable of options with no clear leader (Mett) in front of them. How Les handles that will be telling.

Oh yes please. It has never been discussed before. We need some semi-literate fanboy to show up and tell us everything we need to know about the LSU QB position.

you need a little more practice at STFU...k!

what?

Technically we had other options with Rettig, Jennings, etc but no one was going to play until Mett was injured. Next year, unless Harris or Jennings really start to impress, there isn't someone who is the sure shot starter like Mett was his last two years.

The problem yesterday is three-fold: 1) A bunch of WRs dropped easy catches; 2) Cam is trying not to show much against rent-a-wins; and 3) The players know it's a rent-a-win, and they get complacent.

---

Boom. Any other opinion is agenda-driven and without proper perspective. Miles saw the wr's lack of focus, called them out post-game, and in the second half rode the LF pain train. Under the circumstances, it was the right call.

geaujo you are right. It was the only thing to do. The WRs as a group, especially Dural took the night off. These guys are getting too entitled and treating these rent a wins as jokes instead of tune ups. Some people need to grow up and not their egos get ahead of them.

I was with you until grimes. I think you meant cameron.
