Our receivers weren't ready for the passes that weren't perfect

from Jefferson. Sure, JJ had a bad game but at least 5 or 6 of his incompletions hit our receivers where they could have caught it. They ought to know by now that he only throws a perfect throw every now and then. I expect more out of our receivers. Great receivers catch balls that are hard to catch.

people need to stop citing the "5 or 6" passes that receivers could have caught as a way to defend JJ. Those passes were terrible and maybe 1 should have been caught. He was inaccurate, ineffective and completely indefensible last night.

kind of reminded me of b. lafell dropping countless passes against ole miss last year. JJ can work on his accuracy...........he needs to seriously improve.

Even if a lot of those balls had been caught, they would have done nothing. If a receiver really has to extend himself to get to a poorly thrown ball, there's not much he can do once he's caught it.

Its one thing to throw balls where he doesn't give a opportunity for the WRs to make a play...and another where the WRs basically have very little chance to even catch it. They didn't drop as many balls as stated. Throwing at someone's feet is not a easy catch, especially when you have to completely STOP.
JJ has never been accurate and probably never will be. Even on simple passes like slip/jailbreak screens, JJ has problems with not just accuracy but his release allows a defense to adjust to the play. That is why you're not seeing LSU run those plays right now. His release lets DBs break on the WRs for the screen...

yes they do, but a lot depends on the route...on a swing route, a pass behind you is about impossible to catch, and if you do catch it the play is effectively botched because your momentum is killed.

Although I think the receivers could have caught maybe 2 more passes, they should be applauded for getting 1 or 2 hands on some of those passes. Some of them were totally putrid.

I wonder if they are sending a message to JJ that they are sick of trying to catch his shitty throws. May be Lee has been putting them on the money in practice.

On that same token, what about the passes that were actually caught. If we can complain about non-catches on the garbage passes, we should be able to complain about garbage throws on the ones that were caught.
The best throw all night was by Lee on his only opportunity.
But why do I even bother. Everyone knows this.

How many of the 8 that he did complete, were thrown 5 yds to a receiver meant to get the ball in open space and then make something happen, but were thrown behind them only to be a 5 yard gain. This is a weak thread.

Not sure it would have mattered, many of those would have been for little to no yardage.

I saw a few drops but also there were a bunch of passes that the WR's were lucky to even touch the ball because they were so off the mark. JJ throws an ugly ball and his accuracy has gotten worse and worse.

Imperfect......lol...is anything wrong with expecting him to throw it in the right zip code.

Part of the problems is how well all the players no each other. They know exactly when JJ gets down which happened immediately after the first series in the Vandy game. JJ's frustration effects the whole team when he gets down.

You ever tried to catch a football thrown behind you at your ankles while running a slant route?
Posted on 9/13/10 at 8:33 am to Raparooot
the excuses are now....
recievers werent ready
GC sucks
JJ had an IV/was sick
getting better all the time.

come on man. are you saying none of our 5 star receivers can catch? you are in denial. jefferson was sleepwalking and played terrible. we better anticipate that it will happen again and if it does against a good opponent we will lose bad if the coaching staff doesn't yank JJ while the game is still winnable. JJ is the most inconsistent qb at lsu in my memory. he does have periods where he plays well but much of his tenure is characterized by being "out of sync". while i'm not qualifyed to say why this happens, it ain't the coaching. it's time to hold him ACCOUNTAABLE for his results.
