I don't think this coaching staff believes in Mett's ability to read a defense. They don't trust him to turn his back to the defense on a run fake, turn his head back to the defense, and diagnose the coverage. You also see this lack of faith in the predominant use of quick slants where a QB's read requirement is largely pre-snap if any at all. Hell even when we run 5 or 7 step drops it's usually in a 1 or 2 man route combo where the goal is a deep route on a double move. Once again this allows the QB to virtually lock onto one receiver as opposed to having to scan the defense.

I agree with this completely. How can the offense not have the play-pass with this running game. Why did they bring ZM to LSU? Why on earth did he not get every available snap last year? Only the STAFF can answer that.

LSU needs a good QB and ZM was a solid recruit and is likely more capable than he's shown imo, just like a more mature Lee and younger Jefferson, who started his career off with tons of swag and confidence and lost all ability to throw and make decisions. The problem is that this coaching staff has had their tail between their legs since Lee's freshman year and have become terrified of making a mistake ever since. I don't think it would matter if we had Rodgers, Brees, or any other great QB out there. The current offensive scheme is one to not make mistakes, which sets up the passing game to fail. Guess what happens as a result?
