what they did was rare and difficult to do

It's difficult for a freshman quarterback to win the Heisman and lead their team to a National Championship? Ya don't say?

That doesn't preclude a team that is loaded up with talent like LSU from being able to have a good offense.

All I'm saying is that those guys are closer to the exception than the rule. In stuff like this people love to point to guys who have beaten the odds or performed better than expected, but the fact is most freshman QB's struggle, regardless of what a few elite guys have done in the recent past.

Also, all of those offenses were spread/read offenses where the QB only had to make a couple of decisions, with FSU's being the closest to a pro style offense I suppose. I'm sure Cam will come up with an offense our QB will be able to handle and execute, but just because a few exceptions have come around recently doesn't mean we should expect similar results
