Stop bickering about the QBs

The lack of a passing threat inhibits our run game far worse than who's carrying the football.

Why are people shitting on Williams. He has run the ball on first down just as well as Fournette. No he doesn't have the 40 yard run but he's certainly capable and he gets a good 4 yards everyone he runs. Let them all split equal. There is no significant drop off from one RB to the next. It's the plays that are run that boggle me. Not the usage

When an opposing team doesn't respect your passing game they load the box and make it very difficult to run the ball. Seems pretty simple.

I don't think you know how football works

If what you say here is true, then LSU has much bigger problems than personnel.

If LSU's offense is truly based on the running game, it is one of the worst run-based offenses I've ever seen. No creativity. No change-ups. Just the same dives and off-tackles every time.

If you want to see a true run-based offense, look at Auburn recently or Arkansas back in '05 and '06 with Jones and McFadden.

LSU's offense looks more like it's supposed to be a balanced offense except they can't pass.

oh really cause im pretty sure met had some 300 yd passing games last year

You have to have a decent passing game to set up the run. At least enough to keep their defense honest. Set up the play action pass.


We're only going to do one of two things:

1. Pass the ball

2. Run the ball

Anybody with a tv knows we don't pass so......


It's not brain surgery.


We have a committee at RB, running the ball is hardly the real problem.

you just went full tard on the QB deal, but I agree on the RB deal

I have an ounce of hope that we will be able to force defenses to respect the pass with Harris at QB. I don't expect that to be the case, but I do believe there is a chance it could happen. There is absolutely 0 hope for this with Jennings at QB. Week in and week out he simply does not improve and IMO is not capable of leading a respectable passing attack in this system. I like his attitude and don't place the blame for his shortcomings on him, but i think it's obvious that our only hope for success lies with Harris.

It actually doesn't, but this is a convenient crutch. Jennings doesn't magically get better in games that we rush successfully.
