re: The Internal Problem of QB Development

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.

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).

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.

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?
