"We're going to allow great competition this spring, not only at that position but at others,"

Even if JJ is the presumed QB, why show your hand?

With all the inexperience we have at QB, the competition is wide open.

this is a no brainer!!!!! jefferson WILL start. miles will never play a freshman unless he has to. just like last year. or wait lets go back 2 years russell was the starter matthew was the back and the "super star" mr. ryan perilloux was 3rd string.

thank you have a great day!

but the fact remains LSU might need two distinct offenses to accommodate all four quarterbacks.


SAY WHAT?!?!?! ALL FOUR OF THEM IN THE PICTURE?

and to hear Miles saying this door is so wide open, shepard must be doing something pretty outstanding tomake that big of an impression.

Les Miles is a master of the english language in how he answers questions even when the AD is waving his hands in the back of the room telling Miles DONT ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Translation:

-competition brings out the best in everyone so there's no need to name a starter now
-Sheppard will get his shot at QB, that's what was promised to him during recruitment
-Jefferson is the unnamed #1 going into Spring
-keep you options open at QB because both bring different skill sets and you might need that later
-you don't need to know everything

i'm not really sure why the author or anyone here is shocked

some of us have been saying for months it was too early to crown JJ the starting qb

only the irrational have done so

Any coach who would announce his starting QB at this stage of the year, with the only options being 2 sophomores (one a RS) who had limited playing time last season and a true freshman, should be fired for stupidity.

If Lee starts at QB I may throw my remote right out of the window.

Do you pay me to win games or to give you the details about how I'm going to win them? ITS NOT PRESENTLY ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS WHO IS GOING TO START AT QB. You don't trust me as the coach, then fire me. Till then, I'm in charge.


P.S. - Have a Great Day!

Why is this a 15-page thread?

Miles has said the QB situatio isn't settled every year he's been at LSU. Why would this year be different?

So, I browsed through 18 pages hoping to find that someone would mention something about the acquisition of Jarrett Lee, and I didn't.

A lot of people seem to think that JL is at LSU because he has the talent to be. But, wasn't he (along with Hatch) quick pickups in order to fix the emergency QB situation once RP starting having trouble; unlike JJ who went through the recruiting process?

Were we ever REALLY after Hatch and Lee as prospects because we thought they had SEC-caliber talent, or because we needed depth at the QB position, QUICK?
