1) He cannot run the option

2) He's inaccurate as hell

3) He cannot and will not throw deep

4) He has no pocket awareness

5) He's timid. His call up to the booth in the Ga. game proved that

6) He drops back 7 to 10 steps on most passes

7) He takes forever to wind up on his release

8) He's gets "happy feet"

9) He requires a simplified playbook

So what set of plays do you think Crowton can be successful with? Gary is pretty much limited in what direction he can go, cuz JJ is struggling with what little he has thrown at him thus far.

The thing Crowton has to answer for is not giving another QB enough series to see what they can do. But he might be afraid of shattering JJs confidence if he does. He's really painted himself into a corner this year.

And with all the seniors we lose on both sides of the ball next yr, Crowton needs to start prepping for that reality, and JJ is in no way shape or form, ready to be the sole playmaker on this team.

the only surprise is how bad offensively we are

the lack of qb production isn't shocking at all

The coaching mistakes in the past season and a half has really cost LSU.

Put Lee in a bad spot last year, and because Lee messed up, they coach scared.

I honestly don't know what they are going to do.

But frick, the o-line is terrible, and I don't think lee going back behind center would fix it.

At this point though, I think you need to give Lee a series, just to see what he looks like.

I wonder what he thought he could do with HATCH?

Okay, how many of the following do you really believe have NOTHING to do with Crowton's coaching abilities?

Scrap it. Period.

Maybe dual QBs like the Ensminger/Woodley rotation...JL can certainly throw a nice deep ball

The rest...I don't know if it's workable at this point or just a matter of more experience. I don't see how more Trindon and RS (speed baby speed) can't be worked into the equation...minus those stupid misdirection calls.

The answer is so simple. JJ and JL have their defiencies and their strengths; as do the rest of our offense. But we are not playing to them. Why keep doing the same thing if it's not working?

Why not set a few wide with JL under center?
Why not run a few deceptive QB draws with jefferson?
And where in the world is shepard?

If they run that option one more time...
