I think you're full of shite. How do you know he doesn't? He's standing in the pocket; you don't know what he's looking at.

BTW, I have news for you. Very few college offenses involve going through progressions. What they want the QB to do is read the defense, and figure out what the pass is, then do it.

I have seen improvement in AJ over the last few games. His many successful third down runs are a good example. I agree with his assessment; his problem is his accuracy; the decision making is progressing. His accuracy will improve, too, as his decision making continues to improve.

A lot of posters on here are so young they don't remember guys like Jason Campbell, who was reviled by Auburn fans until he developed, and in his senior year, led them to a 13 - 0 season, and ended up playing in the NFL.

You are wasting your breath. No one here understands the differnce between what Cam wants to do and what the video game offenses of the spread age do. Spread/Air raid attacks are not complicated they attempt at running as many elegibile receivers as you can in space to gain the advantage. It requires very little reading of defenses and checking out of or into different plays. Cam's Pro style passing game is predicated more on route trees and reading the defense. This is harder to grasp for young QBs especially those who came from spread HS offenses. Hell Mett had two All Amrican recievers who got open almost at will so he really only needed two reads. JJ or OBJ throw ball.

It just came off as weird with him saying that ALL of his passes are good decisions... that's all i'm saying.

no, I don't expect him to suck, but I kind of expected him to say something like "I need to do better at throwing a more accurate pass to my receivers" or something to that effect. not "all of my passes are good decisions". seemed very "jordanesque" to me

Q: When you break down games, how many passes do you blame yourself for?

I think my decision-making in all of those passes is pretty good.

Honestly, outside of the last pass, I don't think he made bad decisions throwing the ball. The int to Dural was either due to him slipping or the bama cb pushing him.

His lack of execution =/= bad decisions with the football.

Oh go frick yourself. Could you try harder to put a shitty spin on a good interview?

For frick's sake, the first question and answer:

quote:

Q: Has this season gone the way you thought?

I think that we had potential to go undefeated this year. If I would have played better in a couple of those games, I think we would have won those games. I think that if we continue to get better, we’ll be a great team.
In the very first question and answer, the kid puts the blame solely on himself. He doesn't blame the drops, or the o-line at the beginning of the season, or the play calls, or the early season defense, or anyone else. He takes full, complete, 100% responsibility:
quote:

If I would have played better in a couple of those games, I think we would have won those games.
Oh, and what is the second question and answer:
quote:

Q: You sound like a guy who puts the blame on yourself. Would you say that?

Don’t want to say “blame.” But I know that if I play better, other guys around me play better and this team plays better. I don’t know if it’s “blame.” I know I can play better, knowing my abilities to play football.

Just have to go out on the practice field and continue to get better and then game day comes. Got to continue to execute.
Seriously, monsterballads, go frick yourself for the shitty spin you put on that interview.

Or better yet, go frick CptBengal because while your provide quality analysis at least some of the time, CptBengal is fricking terrible ALL of the time.

Still butthurt about not being able to do simple math? Or was it being caught lying about stats? Maybe it was your inability to understand a basic analysis....

In the article he blames himself saying he needs to play better. What more do you punks want from him?

Hate to break it to you but neither of them are capable of winning a championship. It's pretty obvious Harris isn't putting in the work the coaches need to see to overtake Jennings. Jennings just doesn't have the talent. We need to recruit a tall pocket passer like Mett.


The same coaching staff who let Beckwith sit behind Welter for a year and a half. Harris will be great, just give him the ball.

he does say he needs to get better. that's fine. but to say that ALL of his passes were good decisions? I mean, come on man.

ETA: and look, he did make some great throws against bama. his receivers let him down most of the night. but he still had some very errant passes. if you watch the games in the stadium you really get a better idea of how limited jennings is. he just doesn't process information quick enough. will he get better? I would hope so, but I don't ever see LSU winning anything of significance with that kind of QB play.

well it was very jordan jeffersonesque...
jefferson would go 4-14 and 70 yards and tell everyone how great he thought he played. I remember the interviewers looking at him like he was nuts.

The only running away that is gonna happen to Harris is when he transfers. I bet he sees in his dreams Lee on the bench when JJM was putting on his show

Some of you have extreme reading comprehension problems.


most people believe what they want to believe and their prejudice translates what they read or hear.

unless and until our passing game gets much better, the back up qb's will remain the best players on the team and the people miles is prosecuting for some made up reason.

it's hard to blame most ofthese people even if they are outrageous with their comments. they will be the first to turn on the back ups tho

the coaches feel like jennings leads the offense better. but damn if it doesn't look completely dysfunctional. I mean, NOTHING comes easy. every play is a struggle. pitch and catch. even when jennings DOES throw a good pass, the receivers dropped WAAAAY too many balls against bama.

Their time will come. Look at the gimmick offenses run by A&M and Auburn. Anybody could learn that offense in one off-season because it's not complicated. Cam offense is diverse and takes time to learn.

GFY.

He said they are "pretty good":
quote:

I think my decision-making in all of those passes is pretty good. I just have to put the ball right in the receivers’ face to make it an easy catch for those guys.
And he talked about making better decisions throughout the interview:
quote:

We know how to throw the football here. Just the quarterbacks making better decisions with the football, wide receivers coming into their own.
quote:

It may be a little low here, a little high there, but decisions … continue to make better decisions each and every week going from the first week not being so good in decision-making up to this last week making better decisions with the football.
quote:

Big thing I have to improve on. Decision making, getting everybody on the same page.



quote:

no, I don't expect him to suck, but I kind of expected him to say something like "I need to do better at throwing a more accurate pass to my receivers"
You mean like in the very next sentence:
quote:

I think my decision-making in all of those passes is pretty good. I just have to put the ball right in the receivers’ face to make it an easy catch for those guys.
Or this:
quote:

Me and coach Cam (Cameron) talked today about completion percentage. Big thing I have to improve on.
quote:

Completion percentage, like he said, is an offensive stat. I take that upon myself to complete a ball at a higher rate.
quote:

I think it’s on the quarterbacks to improve – completion percentage and getting those things fixed.

Our fans always take shite out of context to fit their agenda to bash the coaches. Always.

he seems like a great kid. lots of character. I know he has to be frustrated. he's probably thinking that it wasn't supposed to be like this. I don't think he thought the offense would struggle as much as they have. Like i mentioned above, his receivers did him very few favors. the INT he threw wasn't on him, and neither was the two third down passes that hit quinn in the hands.
