re: LSU is where Quarterback careers come to die

As effective as the toss dive is with fournette (or Ridley, Hester, Scott, or Hill in the past) it totally kills the only pass threat in an I formation package which is the play action

This suggests that the only play we run out of the I is the toss dive, which is such an impossibly stupid suggestion that I have to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just a drunk moron right now.

But I don't think Les cares

That's also probably the dumbest thing posted on here in a while. Les clearly cares. There is a reason Les has had success at LSU and it's been his grind it out offenses and tough defenses. He's won an obscene a amount of games on the backs of strong offensive lines and stables of running backs with just enough passing to keep defenses somewhat honest. He is frustrating as all hell and there are times when I think, "Boot this fricker out of here," but the record is what the record is and he has proven his ability to put us into situations to win.

But you know he cares more about winning than anything else when you see him go conservative. We get up on an opponent and boom, time to run, protect the football, protect the lead. Is that my estimation of how we should win? frick no. I want to pour it on. I hate the conservative play calling. But it isn't because Les doesn't care. It's precisely the opposite.

LSU recruits spread option QBs out of high school but runs a pro style offense. Try recruiting high school QBs who know what a center`s arse feels like.

looks to me like we recruit guys who mostly pass from the shotgun/ spread passing, not necessarily spread option QBs. then when we get em here, at least early on, the passing plays we give em are all or nothing deep balls, with screens occasionally mixed in.

I understand that you want to bring a young QB along, and rely on the running game until you think the QB is more "ready". but there's gotta be some happy medium where you let that young QB get some passing in. whether it's more throws from the gun, some shorter/ easier stuff and/ or passing on early downs/ non-obvious passing situations.

i have no idea what is going on over there but Miles has failed to either recruit or develop a decent Quarterback in 10 years. There's no way it's a talent issue.

He'd rather run into a 9 man front and get 6 yards a carry. He has never changed to attack an opponents weakness. He just does what LSU does and rolls with it.

You sir, have hit the nail on the head. CLM says take this ball and run it through that brick wall( 9 man front). If we break through the wall, LSU will win. If we don't, we lose. It is his way. There have been some season where we have been pass heavy, Jamarcus Russell, Matt Flynn, and Mett. But by and large, LSU runs the ball with CLM. It is what he likes, it is what he is comfortable with.

It really sounds like too.
