Putting yourself in Les's shoes

I'm going to play devil's advocate I put myself in Les's shoes.

First off you have 3 young inexperienced QB's. So know you're handicapped from the start.

In Jefferson, you have a good athlete who can make things happen with his legs on occasion. He has shown an ability to take care of the football which coaches covet more than anything. His downsides are that he is one read QB. He gets happy feet and has very little pocket presence. When his first option is covered he looks to run. Takes a lot of sacks. Some sacks attributed to poor pass protection but some were due to happy feet. Can not run the option very well.

In Lee, you have a guy who can throw the football very well at times. He throws a catchable ball which receivers like. His downsides are that he stares down recievers. Also a bit streaky when it comes to accuracy. Gunslinger mentality that he can make any throw to any reciever. Immobile which is not a good thing when you can't pass protect very well. Has shown a propensity to turn the ball over and he threw two ints. the final fall scrimmage.

In Shep, you have the most explosive athlete on the team. He avgs. over 6 yds per touch. Must be accounted for when on the field. His downsides are fumbling and can can he take getting hit by bigger college players. Can he throw the ball well enough to keep defenses honest.

If you look at from Les's point of view, Jefferson wins by default. Not necessarily because he is better QB than the Shep or Lee, but mainly because he can be trusted more to take care of the football and not turn it over. With the way the defense is playing you don't want to do anything to get yourself beat.

It's conservative and boring, but that's the way LSU's got to play it for now. I understand it. Don't like it, but I understand it. I would personally would like to see Shep or Lee, or both get a series in the Auburn game. Just hope one of these guys either Jefferson, Lee, or Shep takes the reins over the coming weeks.
