Has anyone here ever had to learn a playbook?

You understand it doesn't happen over night correct? AJ knew the playbook and was what we needed to be 8-4 this year. Harris obviously has more talent, but the kid needs time. He's a freshman. It he's not starting next fall then people can jump ship, but when you have a new running back, 3 new starting wide receivers and play against some of the best defenses in the land who's job is to confuse you, a freshman filled offense is not going to get you to the promised land. 2015 is the year. We will return a ton of talent and our Oline will be fine. It's frustrating see a talented kid not see the field, but this isn't high school where you can learn a playbook in a few weeks.
If you honestly believe that the coaches think well Harris is better but let's not play him because I just don't want to, you're crazy. Miles said himself he wanted to put Harris in. The kids catching on and next year I fully expect him to show tiger nation what a superstar QB looks like. This offense seems simple but it isn't. With A spread offense a quarterback makes a lot less reads. Harris showed us he can air it out when he doesn't have to make these reads and it's 5 wide and hurry up but how many teams besides Oregon go 5 wide and are successful? We don't play pansy arse defenses. We play some of the greatest defensive minds of the era and it's gonna take more than an off season to understand that. Mett showed us what an experienced QB can do. We have the same talent we just need to let it develop. So let's not jump ship tigers. It's gonna be ok.

I don't think people really understand the difference between knowing the playbook ma knowing it well enough to run it in an in game situation.
ITs like when you blank on an exam. Usually it isn't because you don't know any of the material, it is because you don't know it well enough to be able to apply to and question asked.

It's hard to learn a smash read? Or a curl flat? These kids are in college. shite.

so they started harris at auburn without knowing the playbook?
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:40 pm to tigerclaw10
Yes, in the twelfth grade they completely threw out the book both offensively and defensively. I picked up the defense quickly and thrived. Never learned the offense. I'm sure our offense at Block High was at least as complicated as LM's

I do have to say that all of these guys who played in Cam's system were obviously extremely well prepared to succeed at the NFL level. Talented guys for sure but many talented guys don't assimilate nearly as well. Playing in his system last year was a huge benefit for those guys.

Next year Jennings will start again the entire season. Why? Because he will have "more experience" than Harris. The playbook excuse was just this year's version.

It's hard to learn that there is defense where I have to throw, I need to change the play. But the defense might be blitzing, maybe that play is open. All this has to go though your brain in 25 seconds. And if you're wrong, that's an interception or your running back gets blown up in the backfield

So apparently no one else can learn either right? Only lsu deals with these problems

Do you honestly believe your high school offense is as difficult to learn as LSUs. Last year we had an offense that was one of the best we ever had. No one complained about the offense then. But we just decided, frick what worked were gonna have a shite show for an offense this year.

We'll he's not going to get any in-game experience if they never play him, even against the crappy ooc opponents in clean up or when Jennings can't do anything against Arkansas.
They just can't coach qbs from scratch. Other teams have freshmen and sophomores who do much better than this. And the teams they field are just sloppy and undisciplined in general.

Name one other team in the SEC that runs the pro style successfully besides Bama.
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:50 pm to tigerclaw10
Come on, man. LSUs offense is as vanilla as I've ever seen, very limited, nothing overly complex. Trust me, Harris can handoff, pitch out, and throw long to Durel as good or better than Jennings.

What team runs the pro style and has a successful freshman QB. You can say Jameis Winston from last year, but the defenses he played were highschool level.
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:51 pm to tigerclaw10
Name one school that can't throw a fricking curl route
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:52 pm to UL-SabanRival
George Whitfield's mentor is Cam Cameron yet he "can't develop a QB from scratch." Pro Bowlers, Super Bowl winners, Heisman finalists but, hey, they weren't from "scratch." Why in the hell is Cam responsible for all of the QBs prior to his arrival here?
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:52 pm to tigertracts
That's the problem, he can't. We've seen him mess up the plays. We've seen him go the wrong way on the handoff. I want him starting just as much as anyone else, but I also want him to know what to do when he gets in there.
Posted on 11/30/14 at 3:54 pm to tigerclaw10
What does it say about our coach who starts a true freshman in a hostile environment without knowing the playbook?

Most of the posters here couldn't read a coloring book.
