re: how can everyone blame the Q B?

Getting outside the pocket and throwing the ball away is better than taking a sack. When Jefferson makes the pitch BEFORE making the defender whose job is to force the pitch commits, he's not running the play correctly. And I don't know, how about mixing in play where you keep the tight end in or maybe both backs to block once in a while? Do you need to go back and take Remedial Football 101 all over again?

First, Jefferson gets outside the pocket a lot and has thrown many passes away. In fact, some have criticized him for NOT staying in the pocket and causing the problems himself. So which one is it...in the pocket or out of the pocket? I agree the option is not being run correctly but the MAIN problem is not the timing of the pitch but the QB and the RB are too close together which allows one man to take both. As far as keeping in extra blockers, I have seen LSU do that. Perhaps, you might want to see an optometrist because they have tried that.
