I don't disagree with your conclusion.

But, you are being intellectually dishonest by ignoring the competition so far while comparing to entire years.

Why try and stretch the truth when you have a very sound argument to begin with?

here are the facts, playing three straight little sisters of the poor doesn’t prove much. The first real competition, proved the same ineptness that has plagued this offense for years. JJ and JL are perfect examples of blaming only the qb when things go wrong. bottom line, the jury’s still out on the offense, its scheme and preparation. While Mett is a huge upgrade, there are way too many things that have to be cleaned up, if LSU expects any success against the likes of Fla., S.C., A&M, and Alabama.

Certainly not my intention to be dishonest...The numbers are what the numbers are up to this point in 2012. I look forward to seeing the numbers 8-10 games from now, and unless there is a dramatic dropoff the rest of this season, it looks pretty likely that the upward trend of offense since 2009 is continuing. That said, there's no way for me to "fast forward" the 2012 numbers....At this point, they are what was posted. The only other way to do it is to look at only the first four games of the 2009-2011 seasons, and that doesn't really tell you anything given that you're totally missing the overall progression from 2009 to now by disregarding 70% of the games.

My only point is for fans to be patient with the offense....Our offense has gotten incrementally better each year since 2009, and based on what we've seen thus far in 2012 and finally having a prototypical QB with a solid arm, we're definitely poised to continue that improving trend as this season continues to play out.
