We are talking about QB development as the problem.
Correct, and you are saying that all the different LSU OCs had no ability to develop QBs, including the one who has demonstrated such in the NFL.
You dismiss that past NFL QB development as an anomaly and point to the current lack of QB development as proof.
In my opinion, it is much more likely that Jennings just does not have the arm strength to make most throws "on a rope". He has to "lob" most passes. He also (for whatever reason) does not do well on timing routes. Therefore, the passes he excels at are 1) wide open receivers, or 2) go routes that the receivers can run under.
Harris, has a much stronger arm. He is small in stature and from what we have seen, does not run the offense smoothly. Let's all hope he bulks up over the summer and get a whole lot better command of the offense.
The couple plays the Harris ran vs. Kentucky looked real good. He stepped up in the pocket (yes ther was one) and delivered a TD strike. I think we have a good QB there if we can bulk him up and he gets more time in the system.

We will get to see what kind of coaching they are capable of. Jennings is about to go through his 3rd spring and Harris his 2nd. There is absolutely no excuse not to see some significant improvement at the QB position regardless of the guy the coaches roll out week 1. Sammy is right in regards to Cam not being a magician. Not a single fan should expect Jameis Winston or Cam Newton levels of play out of our guys. But we are all justified in expecting better than what we have seen this year. From playcalling to completions percentage, next year should bring about the offense assissting in winning football games.

I never said we didn't develop Mett. That was someone else. It did take 2 full years once here in order to get him up to speed. My problem is with how long it takes for our QBs to be productive (if they ever do become productive at all).

I think it also has to do with the fitting the square peg in the round hole. Both of these guys are athletic, supposed dual threat type athletes who belong in a system more akin to Auburn's. So 1) why don't we adjust our scheme to fit our personnel and help them develop under their natural talents and 2) if we aren't going to do 1 for whatever reason, why are we recruiting them in the first place?
