Are we doomed to simple offenses as long as Les is around?

Was Cameron hired to lend legitimacy to an approach that he had no desire to abandon?
How did the LSU offense change this past season except to get even simpler? Sure, we passed the ball far better but we finally had a far better passer, and relying on that guy's arm DECREASED offensive creativity.
Where were the screens? Where were the draws? Where was the misdirection? Where was the wisdom of keeping your opponent guessing? I've seen many high schools run more complicated offenses.
Miles still has a 1960's Michigan mindset. He relies on overwhelming an opponent by superior manpower... which is all well and good until he runs into an opponent with equal manpower.
Yesterday was particularly discouraging. Despite three weeks to prepare there was nothing in the playbook that took advantage of a more mobile quarterback... no bootlegs, no rollouts, no qb draws, no options... nothing that would infuse Jennings with a bit of adrenalin or confidence when things weren't going well. Cameron shat the bed.
Yes, we won. We had superior manpower. Thank you, Jeremy Hill.

Good point. LSU should abandon what wins for them in order to make a dog dresser happy.

The first TD was an option play
I have no problem with the offense. Yesterday looked pretty vanilla but Jennings is a true freshman. They're trying to teach him to be a pass first guy and that's the way it should be. No reason to make him rely on his legs. That should be option #2 for QBs.

This thread is nothing but a reach for criticism and the same recycled bleeding pussy nonsense spewed from the awful portion of the fan base.

Are you this much of a dumbass or is this just an act?
Posted on 1/2/14 at 9:07 am to Rex
Only watched this one game this season?
Oh wait, this is a Rex thread

You made some very good points, but the offense was much better with an actual pocket passer. Miles reverts back to the offense from yesterday when he finds mobile QBs.
Anthony Jennings is a Tiger; so I support him and hope that Cam can right the ship for him. BUT he is not an accurate passer and his arm strength is suspect. I don't think that he will be a god like some on here touted (like they do every time a mobile QB is recruited.)
This offense needs an accurate pocket passer who can push the ball down field. Mett showed what this offense CAN BE with a QB with arm talent.

Freshman QB. Four weeks to prepare.
We arent installing a new offense in 4 weeks.

There were a handful of option and read options

I guarantee you that there are many head football coaches that wish that they could do on offense what LSU can do, which is - slowly but surely - move the ball down the field. It kills the clock, it wears down the defense, and it prevents the other teams from score 40 or 50 points like you see in Baylor, Oregon, Oklahoma State games. .

I agree to some extent. The main problem I have is that the offense can be a lot more creative without any increase in risk and pressure on a freshman QB. I think the current offense can actually put more pressure on a young QB if the running game is not as effective as it needs to be. Running the ball a lot is fine, but at least make it appear to the defense a pass is possible. Also, IMO, this style of offense is often a cause for the team's lethargic performances. The offense seems to suck any energy and momentum the team might have.
