This tweet from Shea Dixon has me thinking if its a real possibility. What do yall say about this?

Les Miles sounds like he's also high on QB Anthony Jennings. "I really like him." Some players think he will play this year.

He wont start as long as Mett is healthy. If something happens to Mett and Rivers isn't getting it done....sure why not.

If hes starting this year, well be in trouble

One of the freshmen will redshirt. The way Jennings is getting talked up, it will be Rettig

I think after the last couple years LSU fans don't really understand the difference. He's very talented for Freshman.. but playing time when we have a lead or in specific situations in which he can better our offense is different.. He's the 3rd string QB for a National Title contender at 18 years young. Wish the best for this kid

All this talk about Jennings this and Jennings that, whether he will play or not,do the ranters already think that Rettig is already out of the picture?

AJ gonna be the best QB since JR eventually

I said this kid could be a special QB the kind to win a NC with. But with Miles in control of this team hating seeing him come to LSU knowing they would waste his talents and leave him frustrated as other talented players. Now with Cam Cameron in the fold hopefully he will be all he can be.

ya never know

I have no doubt he will. Got to get some experience for the starting position next year.

Doesn't see the field unless Mett & Rivers both go out with injuries, Redshirt Year!

Being here now increases his chances. Being what I've seen from Rivers at numerous practices and scrimmages increases them even more.

Man this has got to be the worst mannered forum I visit. Would you guys please learn how to have a decent discussion without behaving like 5 year olds.
Do you guys start drinking when you wake up?
ON TOPIC:y
I just watched Jennings HS highlights again and am impressed with the same things a few here have pointed out.
They ran 4 or 5 wide a whole lot and sometimes kept a RB in to block. The defenses would respond by sending disguised blitzes from the edge, likely their best blitzers. Sometimes the RB would pick him up, sometimes not.....BUT, Jennings usually would make a subtle move, make the defender miss, but never take his eyes off of his down field targets... Granted, it looked like his O-line was pretty good and he had that one HUGE receiver. He would find his reciever, quickly plant his feet, the ball came out FAST and the ball was delivered with excellent accuracy - even the deep balls when the receiver was well defended....very very different skill set from Mett who I also like.
He is a pocket passer IMO, even though we may run option with him, his strengths are his pocket presence, his accuracy, his vision, his quick feet, and his quick release.
He did not wow me with his speed. He can run, but he is no RG3. I was impressed by the way he felt the pocket and moved quickly almost without thinking - YOU CANNOT COACH THAT. Comparing him to Russell Shepard is a very bad comparison. Jennings is going to be a quarterback - PERIOD.
In summary, it's Spring. I always get excited as do all LSU fans. This year we have much to be excited about. We got a GREAT offensive coordinator in Cam, with a history of developing quarterbacks. We have an experienced senior quarterback with the ability to be great but in need of some help from someone like Cam and some better blocking from his line. Stud is back 100% focused on the line.
Right away I noticed a different attitude from this team in Spring....it started on day one. There seems to be an intensity that we have lacked in prior years. It's very exciting.
I am excited beyond words that we have an early arrival freshman QB with the accuracy, arm strength, lightning fast release, pocket presence, decent speed, and intangibles that Cam can actually work with. I see great potential in Jennings...more than any QB we've recruited in the recent past. The fact that he already has the support of his team mates and coaches is telling. He is 18 years old and the guys supporting him know a good thing when they see it...and it apparently is obvious even at his young age.
Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? - Maybe. I do it almost every spring, but this year feels different, it looks different, our guys are doing the Harlem Shake together and HAVING FUN.
In my opinion the future is very bright at LSU. So far this Spring we look like a team.
NOW BACK TO YOUR' IDIOTIC BICKERING!!
