Now explain why we keep finding ourselves with young/shitty QBs. The lack of development under center is CLM's biggest flaw, bar none.


He STILL hasn't recruited a good QB out of high school.

Jefferson, Lee, Jennings and Harris were ALL 4* prospects. SOMEBODY (and not just LSU) thought that they could play. Who's to say that they weren't "good" QBs who were just limited by LSU's offensive approach.

Do you think Johnny Manziel becomes "Johnny Football" Heisman trophy winner at LSU? I don't.
Russell Shepard was the No 1 "dual threat" QB in the country in 09. Had he gone to Oregon he is likely a household name. At LSU he was just a guy they could never figure out how to use. LSU recruited Teddy Bridgewater hard. Do you think he has the same career at LSU that he did at Louisville? I doubt it. LSU really wanted Jeremy Johnson who is now the backup at AU. In limited play at Auburn he has looked leaps and bounds better than either of LSU's QBs. He'll likely be a top SEC QB next year. If he were here I suspect he would be taking the place of Jennings in catching hate from the fanbase.

Maybe it's just me, but at some point one would think to look at any common denominators to figure out LSU's QB woes.

Since 2008 LSU has had 5 QBs start games; 3 different OCs, and only 1 good year of QB play in 6 years. There is however one common denominator over those 6 years.

So whats the answer? It's takes a mandatory 3 years of "seasoning" for a LSU QB to perform well while other programs can have success with young and inexperienced QBs?
