We had two poor QBs last season. Lee and Jefferson limited our offensive gameplan for the mos part limited our gameplan their entire LSU tenure. Miles was definitely at fault for not bringing in a recruit that could actually win a game if needed, but must have thought it was better to just get by with the two instead of having the team take a step back to actually improve the position.

Jarrett Lee, Mr. Mythical All American, benefited from a superior OL, running game, and defense. He crumbled against our first real defensive threat, but everyone excuses it. My idea of what Miles was thinking was that while Lee was a slightly better passer Jefferson offered more with his running ability that would be beneficial if the QB conditions weren't a cakewalk like they were early in the season pre Bama.

As in both Bama games and the UGA game the OL did not perform nearly as well and allowed considerable amounts of pressure on the QB.

This season is completely different. They have attempted to open it up, but our WRs can't catch and our injured OL isn't executing in basic scenarios. These have been the key issues stalling our offense with the poor WR play be the biggest problem.

So while the offense appears to be struggling it is for completely different reasons.

Also everyone acts like we have soooo much talent. I question that with our OL and WRs failing at the basics of their position.

Lee was the most efficient qb in the sec, had 13 TD's and 1 int going into Alabama where he threw two ints and was benched for the rest of the season.
