JR was one of the best quarterbacks LSU has ever had. I'd take him every day of the week. Yeah he sucked in the NFL because he got put in a bad situation and got extremely lazy, but that doesn't change what he did at LSU. RP, on the other hand, was just a idiot.
No, he is correct. JR didn't have immediate success, he was basically Mettenberger with more ability. It took him two years of playing, and 2 first round draft WRs to do what he did in 06. He split time his freshman year and completed only 50% of his passes out of 144 attempts. His sophomore year when he started, he threw more passes that year than JJ did his sophomore year, but had a slightly worst cmp percentage, less TDs, and more INTs.
He had a lil less than 300 yards more passing than JJ, but JJ had 170 yards in the run game while JR was in the negatives. He even had a decent run game to aid him. It's why I laugh at people who would take Mett's 2012 passing season over JJ's and will laugh when someone would take JR's sophomore season over JJ's. Both of those guys had better run games and OL, Russell had Jimbo Fisher as a QB coach, and neither performed statistically better except for more passing yards.
