Who else thinks he'll play something other than QB? Watching him play, he looks like he'd be better used at another position. That being based on the hope that a JJ/JL rotation will work next year.

he'll be a QB. Rare talent and very underrated passer. Bottom line you put the ball in your best players hands and he will have his hands on it the most at QB. I think he plays a role similar to Tebow's freshman year and may start by years end. QB all the way.

It would be a mistake to play him at something other than QB.

I think he plays QB. Next year he will probably have a lot option run plays but get his feet wet with maybe 20%-25% of the snaps.

scout's say he is a more dangerous runner than pat white and a better passer at this point in high school than pryor was.

I think RS will stay at QB

I think he ends up at WR for two reasons.

A) He is not a better passer than JJ.
B) We can't keep him off the field. So we'll play him elsewhere.

Are you joking? He's a QB for sure. Will play the Hatch/RP role next year spelling Jordan Jefferson. Lee's days are pretty much done at LSU IMO.

He HAS to be a QB for LSU. I want him to touch the ball EVERY DAMN FREAKING PLAY ON OFFENSE. EVERY PLAY!!!! Ive seen 4 of his high school games here in west Houston, and not only can he do everything, but he is a true LEADER. THE ENTIRE TEAM FEEDS OFF OF HIM.

If Mile turns him into something else, I will trash him mercilessly.

I think he plays Percy Harvin. He won't beat out JJ and JL next year and he really, really wants to play soon.

well considering tim tebow just won the sec championship throwing for 13-21, id say he can stay at qb. he doesn't have to throw 40 times a game to be successful. his running ability will keep defenses off-balanced, it will open up other players and options. i want the ball in rs's hands every play.

Shep will be used in a Percy Harvin type role next year with some plays at QB.

not sure about sheppard but if miles tries to run qbs in and out it will be another long and disapointing season. hopefully one of lsu's qb's can seperate themselves as a frontrunner, because if jl wins the job we will get worse as he did this year, need to sign a juco qb to manage the offense as jj learns the offense

he will not play qb...unless lsu became a true spread team like w.. virginia.....other than that he will be a reggie bush type kid who will play slot/rb and reciever.......i.e. harvin at florida...


early doucet was one of the top rated qb's in high school...sheppard is a carbon copy of doucet...doucet played reciever....just like sheppard will
