average.

Great raw talent, just hasn't developed. Sounds familiar.

Changing the QB will mean more of the same.

This I totally agree. Our offensive scheme is just way too repetitive and fundamental to be figured out by the opposing defense when we do pass the ball. You barely see any WR motion in the back field or creative route design from our passing game. It feels like Coach Stud just simply expects his athletic WRs to beat the Corners physically every time for the pass to be successful, instead of trying to design a creative or smart route to let them be open easily.


+1,000. Clemson teed off on our line last night like they knew exactly where each play was going. No hesitancy or uncertainty.

I would have liked to see Philp Rivers' brother get a shot during the year

Mett's mechanics are a liability esp his foot work, he is only successful when he have plenty of time to throw, which is not good

This whole thing about being predictable is a myth, you are not going to fool anybody at this level. You must dominate the line of scrimage and the play calling would not be a huge issue. If you dominate the line and you excute your plays LES or whoever is going to be a guru of play calling.

LSU is cursed with a terrible QB syndrome. Not sure when it will go away

deception or surprise


Those words are just not in LSU offense's dictionary...oh wait, didn't Les surprise all of us when he asked Alleman to run the 4th and 12 fake field goal in Bama game? Unfortunately, he just didn't really deceit his opponent.

Could you imagine Mett on clemsons side last night. He wouldnt have made it out of the first quarter or LSUs defense would have had a field day


Man, I couldn't even imagine how ugly the game would turn out if that happens...

He sucks and doesn't have a coach that can develop him. He panics, can't run, can't throw on the run and can't improvise.

First of all LSU is not the correct offensive scheme for Mett.


LSU is the correct offensive scheme for WHOM?? Even Drew Brees would have lost himself under this offensive scheme.

As of right now I consider him mediocre, but all that can change next year. We need to run something similar to the Patriots offense where most runs are from shotgun and Brady is mostly in shotgun. Thing is Mett would have about 1000 more yards and 15+ more TDs if he could learn how to put touch on his long throws instead of being scared to throw a pic.

If things can be solved that easily, why didn't we win the NCG last year with a dual threat QB?

This is not jr high football coaches from opposing schools study tape 24/7 knowing the tendacy of every team they play. This motion backfield flee flicker crap don't work in the SEC defenses way to good. So trying to decive is a recipe for negative play after negative play. Must dominate line to win in SEC ask both the teams playing for the ship right now about play calling its way overrated in big time college football. This is not the west coast dorothy

Sure you have to dominate the line of scrimmage to win the SEC, but I don't necessarily think adding more inspiring play design or different formation would negate the effort of trying to dominate the line. It doesn't have to be so dramatic such as a flee flicker. Bama's offensive line dominates the opposing team's Dline, but you still see them involving the TE and FB in the passing game to allow the easy throw by the QB.

I always laugh with my son that I don't know if I have ever seen a QB who can consistently overthrow the deep ball by 3 to 5 years 90% of the time.
