LSU's 103 ranked passing O should be a top 5 destination for any top QB.

We need to get you out on the recruiting trail, son.

I would have vehemently disagreed with you last year, when Crowton was our OC. Frankly, any top QB should have seen that offense and ran far far away. And they did. However, there is definitely a place for a highly rated pro-style QB in this offense. Lee has shown that in glimpses, but Mettenberger will really showcase it next year. If the Krags-Studs tandem sticks around, I would anticipate that LSU becomes a place that attracts highly rated QBs beginning next year. What will be interesting is to see whether LSU goes after pro-style or dual-threat QBs, as we've had somewhat of an identity crisis in that respect.

It's truth. Luckily, we are in it for a top-rated passer this year. I think the word is already out. Mettenberger last year, and looks from Kiel this year. When Mettenberger shows what a true pro-style passer can do at LSU next year, well only have more looks from QBs

Hmmm and here I am just happy with the great talent and winning LSU is doing with the silly ol' running game. Ill say it in case you haven't heard it yet LSU is run a whole lot first, then try to catch them sleeping with a long range to middle pass. What QB would really want that? In case some don't know they have the biggest egos on the field and I can see a top ranked QB clashing with Coach Miles.

I love your optimism!

Bottom line is top QB recruits want to throw the ball. They will continue to go to the OUs/USCs etc...of the world as long as they throw the ball a lot. We don't need a top QB to win a national championship and we proved that in 2003, 2007 and are doing it once again this year without one. Guys like Gunner Kiel will probably continue to be pipe dreams for us, and I'm fine with that as long as we keep winning. Our style of winning is very defense/special teams/run offense oriented and it's a great combination.

As long as Les is the coach, LSU will be a dominant run team.

LSU doesn't need a superstar at QB. It would be nice, but not needed.

This.

which is why i think Les is high on a guy like Liggins. He could sit a couple years and develop and trim his body a little. On film he is a more powerful and natural runner than Jordan, and if he loses some weight probably just as fast. He's a better touch passer as well.

We have always gotten the top tier QB recruits in my opinion. Most of our quarterbacks have also had legit shots to make NFL rosters after they have played. Bottom line is we are the best dam team in the country and year in and year out we recruit the best prospects across the board. No reason to have a pass heavy offense if we have six 4 star running backs ready to run over someone. You come to LSU if you want to compete for championships. You go other places if you want to pad your stats.

With LSU being situated in the heart of Louisiana, I don't think that the tigers will ever have a shortage of wideouts.
