i'm sure you have proof he was lied to. no? you are just throwing out unsubstatiated allegations to justify your opinion he was misused. you may find it hard to fathom but i saw him play for 4 years and was a huge fan of him. i'm very sorry he didn't meet the expectations of many but it certainly wasn't the coaches fault. not high school star translates to a star in college and some high school middle of the row players become college stars. a fact. your opinion is one thing but to aver that the coaching staff lied to him is bull shite.

It has been well established, if you follow recruiting, that one of the reasons Shep chose LSU is because Miles promised him a shot at QB. He did not get that shot. Now, some people will claim that he did. They will say that he got a few chances in practice and was deemed not able to play QB.
I disagree. My position is that Shep deserved more than a few looks in practice. He also deserved to throw at least one pass during his playing career here. I believe he did not get a real, fair chance of playing QB at LSU. And I do not believe Miles ever intended to give him that real chance. If he meant what he told Shep, he would have done it. He gave JJ four years and waiting to become a decent QB.
Moreover, Miles' judgment that Shep could not play QB for LSU carries absolutely no weight. Miles' judgment on QBs is about as worthy as Sonny Dykes' judgment on defense.
