This problem dates back for a long time.

When was the last time LSU has had a long-term sure fire deal at QB?

Herb Tyler was the last 3+ year starter. After that, we had the Booty/Davey/Nall rotation for 2 years, followed by a year of Davey. Then, Mauck (statistically a poor QB in 2002) for half a year, followed by Randall and CLAUSEN.

Then a year of Mauck.

Then, Randall and JR for a year of inconsistency.

Then JR for a year.

Then Flynn for a year.

Then Hatch/Lee/JJ for a year of inconsistency.

JJ is the longest-term starter since Herb, I believe.

Why does LSU have a long-term history of not being able to keep QBs around?

You'd believe wrong. If Jefferson starts for the remainder of the year, he'd still be two games behind Russell, who started four games as a Freshman, and all but one game in 2005 and 2006.
