Tim Fletcher's point this morning
Posted on 9/8/14 at 10:14 am

He pointed out that A. Jennings inability to throw darts will catch up will LSU. Example: 2nd TD pass to T. Dural in the middle of the endzone was a duck and would have been picked in the SEC.
What's your opinion?
Can Jennings get a first down in 3rd-12 situations against a good secondary?
Are people being picky?

That 2nd td was placed perfectly.... fletcher is a bitch.

Arm strength isn't everything. Accuracy, timing and good decision making has allowed many college QBs to excel without elite arm strength.

DA frick? THAT particular throw and catch was a thing of beauty into PERFECT coverage.

Honestly, I'd like to see a 3rd and 6 conversion where we complete an 8 yard pass instead of going for the deep ball. However, I do understand that it may have been a gameplan thing playing matchups with our receivers against the SHSU corners. If they were locked up with no safety help, I can see why we'd go for it all.

His arm seems plenty strong enough. That pass was a duck though. Not one of his better throws (eta: as far as spiral).
But saying he cant throw darts is clearly not accurate.

Dont agree about the second td but I do have concerns about him locking into to the deep ball.. We had multiple intermediate routes wide open in is sight line when he choose to throw a deep ball.. We will need those as we saw last year with Mett. Those darts across the middle when the safety is pulled back can be deadly

b/c when you have a big athletic receiver in a short yardage situation in/near the redzone, you certainly wouldn't give said athletic receiver a chance to go up and get the ball
re: Mett to Jarvis Landry in bama game '12 (nevermind the ending of the game)....and landry wasn't even big

Did he miss that very "handsy" catch by Quinn on the out route?
Peyton Manning's passes aren't real pretty either, btw. Nor Drew Brees'. Now Ryan Leaf? THERE'S a dart thrower.....

The bigger issue is AJ's ability to find the 5-10 yard crossing route, or throw the touch pass in the screen, instead of looking for the bomb. I know Jarvis Landry isn't here any longer, but some of these guys (Quinn, Fournette?) should be able to find the seams.

I'm sure Anthony Jennings can throw a 12-yard dart.
Look, you don't need a big time arm to win championships. McCarron and McElroy didn't have rocket arms. Timing the throw and placement are much more important than throwing the ball at 70 miles per hour.

Fletcher's comment is funny to me because I even though I do have some concerns about Jennings, this really isn't one of them. I want to see Jennings recognize coverages better and throw more accurately on short-intermediate routes, especially on screens.
I expect teams to roll a safety to Dural's side and AJ needs to be able to find the better matchup.

Forgive him. He's a Brandon Harris homer. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

its a fair point for sure. you would like to see more zip on the intermediate throwns
Posted on 9/8/14 at 10:50 am to LSUcjb318
Its a fair point, but we all knew Jennings had a average at best arm.
Posted on 9/8/14 at 10:54 am to LSUcjb318
Albeit a Tim Tebow type ball, the placement on the 2nd td was perfect.

I cannot stand this "an SEC defender would make this play" nonsense. Overall, yes, SEC defenses will be much tougher, as the level of athleticism and coaching is superior, but to try and prophesize where a defender will be on the field, if he can make tge cath, and if the throw would actually be made at all is just ridiculous. Chalk up a TD as an INT BC its not an SEC school (and yes we saw similar statements in the wisky game). The SEC is good, but it is not filled with superhuman football machines that capitalize on anything less than perfection.
And, I thought it was a good throw.

People need to relax and give Jennings some time. That was just his 3rd start. He is improving with every snap. I am happy as could with how he is coming along.

One of the best SEC QB's ever Danny Wuerfell had average arm strength, yet his timing and decision making was superb.
Plenty of QB's with bigger arms but few if any have been better.
AJ has a better arm and is more mobile. I like his development so far.
