Do you think we have a good quarterback?


frick yeah I do. If the receivers could catch he'd be completing 77% of his passes. His line is in the infirmary, receivers drop everything, and his starting TB is out.

I think it's a damn good question. LSU has not had a "good" QB since Tommy Hodson. You would think that would be the #1 priority in recruiting. I agree with Muffberger.

Dumb shite fans think the qb is the problem

The o line
The receivers
The playcalling

Are the problems

Gonna have to sorta disagree here...

quote:

As a senior (2001), Davey had the QB position to himself (Booty had gone to the National Football League); and he led LSU to its first Top 10 finish since 1987 and its first SEC Championship since 1988. During the regular season, Davey passed for 3,347 yards, becoming the first QB in LSU history to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season. Davey also beat Peyton Manning's junior-year performance at Tennessee in 1996 (Manning threw for 3,287 yards that year), which was 9th best in SEC history. With 3,351 yards of total offense (3,347 yards passing, 4 yards rushing) on 405 plays, Davey had an average of 8.27 yards of total offense per play, making him the 5th person in SEC history to finish a season with more than 8.0 yards of total offense per play (minimum 300 plays).

Davey's best performance during the regular season was at Alabama (televised by CBS), when he passed for 528 yards (becoming the first LSU quarterback to throw for more than 500 yards in a game). By passing for 528 yards against Alabama, Davey also became #3 in SEC history for most passing yards in a game (beating Peyton Manning's 523 passing yards against Kentucky in 1997).


Davey capped off his senior season by passing for 444 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Sugar Bowl against #7 Illinois (televised by ABC), leading the Tigers to a 47-34 victory. At that time, the only other LSU quarterback who had ever thrown for more than 400 yards in a game was Tommy Hodson in 1989. For his performance, Davey was named Sugar Bowl MVP. For this performance, Davey was enshrined in LSU's hall of fame.

As a result of his performance during the 2001 season, Davey was voted to the second team of the All-SEC Team.

Karma for running Jimbo Fisher out of town after the 2006 season.

Another fact: LSU fans = most spoiled fanbase in college football.

If anybody thinks Jamarcus Russell was not a "good" quarterback while at LSU they need to get on some meds.

It's a chicken or the egg thing

Is the playcalling bad because the receivers drop balls?

Or do receivers drop balls because the playcalling is bad?

Anyone that writes Mett off is an idiot. Mett is doing fine. Our receivers and line need to step up. I can see our receivers getting better this year, but not our line. Too many injuries.

So 3 straight QB prospects don't have the talent to play for LSU?

People need to ask this one question. Could any other offensive coach take this same talent and get better production out of it? Could chad Morris, bobby Petrino, holgerson, harsin, monken get better results? If the answer is yes, then it's not the QB.

ETA: no, I want to keep Les. Just talking about offensive production.
