re: Why do people equate criticizing JD with “Blaming him entirely” for the loss?

I don't care, catch the ball. It went through his hands. Catch the ball.
The WR was wide open on a busted coverage. Make a better throw and its an easier catch and probably a touchdown. Still should have been caught, but the quarterback made that a MUCH more difficult catch than it should’ve been. Make the throw.
Multiple times LSU had their #1 receiver Nabors 1 on 1 vs man coverage. Which is exactly what you want and great opportunities for big plays. JD botched everyone of those throws giving Nabors no real chance to make the catch. Make the throw.
Fact is for every bad drop LSU’s receivers had, JD had a bad throw or a bad read that cost LSU points and/or offensive momentum.
Once again, JD’s play was definitely not the biggest problem LSU had Sunday night. But it was A problem. It was once again very average QB play, not bad but not good either. And with LSU’s secondary problems, they are going to need more than that this year.

This happened multiple times last year. Best example is the TD to Jenkins in OM game. Dude was open by 15yds. Luckily Jenk made the play.

I literally just watched the play again, and the ball hit BTJ in the stomach. You have to catch it in that scenario and you're in the redzone.

Those fade routes early were bad, no doubt.

If the receivers catch the ball, he finishes with almost 400 yds and 60 on the ground with a couple TD's. If you take away the BTJ TD late, he finishes with over 300 and a couple td's still. To me, that isn't average.
