all of the guys on your list had more playing experience than either of LSU's QBs
Manziel, Winston and Newton had less college football playing experience combined than Jennings has. The closest any of them had was Newton's JUCO time. Neither Manziel nor Winston had taken a single snap in a game, and both were in their second year out of high school and in the program. Jennings is also in his second year out of high school, his second year in the program, and he has the experience of a start in a bowl game plus very meaningful time in multiple SEC games on top of some mop up time throughout the season.

Not to say that he's some kind of seasoned veteran, but that's comparable experience to most first time starting QBs (like McCarron, for example).

Other than AJ had a full RS yr. and was going into his 3rd yr. within the SEC and the Bama program.

A yr. in a program can be a big + for a QB. Look at the difference a yr. made with Mett.
