Anthony Jennings Hype Thread

This is not going to go well. The retards are out in full force.

By all accounts, he's a smart kid with a good arm and he's mobile. He picks things up quickly. He passed up a guy that has been here for 3 years, in his first year. That should tell you enough.

We might get a good look at Jennings this Saturday, what should we expect other than hand offs?

I'm expecting him to play some and throw.

HCB just pulled out the lube.

And you pulled out the hood.

From my introductory Jennings thread on the RB:

Pros: Gifted athlete; quick release; strong arm; nice accuracy and touch on the ball; can throw a fade, can also rifle it; makes some really difficult quality throws to the sideline; great field vision and ability to see the field; reads his receivers well and anticipates when they will break and get open before they actually do and hits them in stride; will not panic under rush; keeps scanning the field and moving around to find the open receiver rather than just taking off when the pocket breaks down; poacher - takes what the defense gives him; makes things look easy; good runner with shiftiness and balance; decent speed - posted 40 may be generous but he is fast enough; posted size looks legit; senses pressure, avoids rush and tackles like a boss; can throw on the run; good, quick football instincts.

Cons: Not many; plays out of shotgun most of time so you don't know for sure how comfortable he is playing under center; footwork - has happy feet sometimes and throws without setting or stepping into passes - his arm strength is good so he gets away with it in HS.

Bottom Line: I really like this guy. He is good...very good. I also like Riley Ferguson but Jennings may be the best QB still out there for LSU.

Most posters liked what they saw. Though his ability was questioned and I was accused of pushing him only because he is from GA.

Quiet guy, focused, determined, disciplined.

Ok, better than jerking it to a kid half my age.

the backup QB is always the most popular player on team. it's mind boggling after the first half of season that mett had, he has one bad game (he was a huge part of why we lost but he was also a huge part of how we came back) and we're moving on to AJ.

i'm looking fwd to seeing him play. he's gonna take his lumps but from all accounts he seems like a good kid and a hardworker.

Here's where LSU fails. Want some asses in the seats for Furman? Announce that Jennings plays a half. I'm going just in the off chance he plays more than 2 series

I think ZM is hurt from fla

IMO he should rest sat and let the backups play entire game.
Jennings rettiig and rivers.

I think for a lot of folks, it's not about giving up on Mett but about looking at the QB for next year. Primarily because most think (rightly, IMO) that LSU will not be in competition for a NC, SEC or even SEC west title. Mett is still our best hope at QB for winning out the rest of the season, a tough task at best.

What makes this kid special?
