LSU needs more from its QB's...

He said footwork twice.

"I have to have a fundamental quarterback coach," Miles told reporters when discussing Kragthorpe's hiring. "A guy who can take a quarterback and say, 'Let's talk about your footwork, let's talk about your eyes, let's talk about where your hand [is], your footwork, throwing motion, where your shoulders are' ... all those things."

Miles also hinted that LSU's quarterbacks were thinking too much and not just reacting.

"I felt he could short cut some of the elaborate thought process that was going on, make our guys quicker decision-makers," Miles said of Kragthorpe. "Being a quick decision-maker means the ball comes out of your hand in a timely fashion, which limits your sacks and gives you the best opportunity at a completion."

My life savings says this has been edited and is NOT a direct quote. Either way, I really like the sound of this. We need to simplify the QB position so that it can be mastered by all our QB's. once one rises above the others, the complexity can be introduced commensurate with his capacity.

We shall see if the switch from GC to Krags will pan out, but we certainly cannot be much worse than we've been at the QB position. The quotes attributed to Miles in that article suggest GC was throwing every possible scenario at the QBs, which ultimately leads to confusion and hesitation, all the while ignoring such things as footwork, hand position with the ball, and other fundementals.

Hell, if the LSU QBs improve just 25 percent, we'll steamroll some folks this year.

Good luck with that, depends on who is the starter.
