You say something has never happened. I show you an example from the first game that it has happened. You say it's not enough.

The point is that Jennings makes his reads. I’ve given you proof of it. But that’s not the real problem you have.

The point was that Jennings stares down his receivers. [Y]our best example is on a play where he throws to a receiver on the same side of the field as he was initially looking.

I don't think you understand anything about QB reads or progressions.

I don't think you understand what a QB is looking at downfield after the ball is snapped.

Do you really think that a QB is supposed to scan the field to look at all available receivers in some kind of order like WRX, WRY, TE, WRZ, RB?

On many pass plays, you make a read pre-snap and post-snap. The read post-snap is typically based on looking at a defender and his reaction, not looking at a receiver.

So when a QB looks downfield after the snap on a pass play, most times he is looking at one guy: a defensive player. You call it "staring down" the receiver, but he is actually reading a defender. The QB will throw it to one of two targets depending on what that defender does. Most of the time, those two targets are on the same side of the field.

That's the whole point of reading the defender's reactions. Is the defender in zone or man? Which receiver is he covering? QBs almost never have time to look at 3 or 4 receivers. Most plays are not intended to have a QB look at 3 or 4 receivers even when there are that many receivers involved in the pass play. If the play breaks down and is extended beyond two seconds, then those receivers might be targets, but that’s not the intent of the play. Plays are not intended to break down even if the plays do have contingency routes if they do break down.

In the offense LSU has been primarily running, there have not been that many receivers involved in the play. So where, exactly, do you want Jennings or Harris to look?


You, my man, are the best the rant has to offer.

You let your emotions and bias control your analysis and determine your conclusion.

You just "know" that someone fricked up even if you don't know what they are supposed to be doing. You use words that you don't fully understand, but you've read other sheep use.

You say you've never seen something even when it's happened. And when someone gives you an example, you say that's it's not enough.

When people read this board, people like you come to mind. :bow:
