One of two things is true regarding our QB situation

1)When evaluating who should start, Miles is godawful at it

or

2)Of the 4 QBs we recently recruited, AJ, Rivers, Rettig, Harris.....AJ is in fact the best we got.

Many of you are arguing that "Miles knows best and AJ should be starting over Harris(or, for that matter, Rettig/Rivers).

If that is true. All we managed with those 4 dudes was someone capable of being the NINETY FOURTH RATED QB in the nation, then I submit to you that this is AS BAD if not WORSE than if Miles is just terrible at figuring out who should start.

Do you realize how hard it is at a school of LSU's caliber to actually do no better than the 94th rated guy? 94th isn't just bad, this is in a special category of awful. I'll help put it in perspective. So far this year, statistically, AJ is worse than ANY Jordan Jefferson season. Contemplate that for a moment.

We've had bad quarterbacks before at LSU. This isn't bad. This is a whole new level of futility that is blissfully covered up by the fact that our defense stopped sucking and our running game is absurdly good given how poorly we pass.

Bottom line. No matter whether you think Miles is simply choosing the wrong guy or, think he really DID choose to start the right guy, either way, it represents a colossal failure on Miles' part.

He literally managed to do something in the last few years of recruiting QBs that statistically speaking, a person simply guessing at which 4 start QBs to recruit should've done better.

ETA: I'll add this nugget.

For AJ to equal Jarret Lee's output his catastrophic FRESHMAN year, AJ will need to throw for 607 yards in his next outing (JL played 11 games). Oh, and he'll have to improve his completion percentage by more than 6%f for the season in that one game. I suspect that means he's gonna have to go about 50 for 55 for 608 yards.
