Best analysis of LSU's quarterback situation that I've read.

Of their 11 signees not named Harris or Jennings, the Tigers have had seven quarterbacks dismissed, transfer or not show up on campus. An eighth never played quarterback full-time: Russell Shepard, the No. 1 dual-threat QB in 2009 who was moved to receiver.
The quarterbacks who transferred under Miles include Rivers; Hayden Rettig, a California native who signed in 2013; Randall, a 2011 signee from Florida; and Chris Garrett, a Mississippian who left after signing in 2009.
Liggins didn’t show. Texan Zach Lee, part of the 2010 class, signed a Major League Baseball contract just before his freshman season, and Perrilloux was dismissed.
Five of those seven never threw a pass. In 10 years, South Carolina and Georgia had only one signee each leave without throwing a pass.

There is literally no analysis in this post

Yep. Less sucks at recruiting and developing QBs.
Good thing we pay him a lot of money.

Interesting read. The coaches continue to do the same damn thing and fail.

Les knew the chances of Zach Lee going to play MLB were strong, and Les had zero backup plan in case that happened.
It's time to let Harris sink or swim in the next 2 games, and run most all of the offensive plays from the shotgun. It makes too much sense not to, but Les Miles is a narrow minded egotistical HC who doesn't want to look like he made a mistake. Miles also seems to have a great disdain for the fan base with his garbled unintelligible bullshite responses. So don't look for common sense to happen.

Our offense will not improve as long as Miles is here. I've already accepted that. Last season we had all-star talent that bailed us out repeatedly. This year's offense with last year's defense would have had us last in the West.

I don't even read the Advocate. Dellenger and Rossetta cup Miles' balls every article. Nowhere close to objective analysis.

Interesting article indeed.
So, Crowton thought Andrew Hatch was a "third guy up" (2nd once Flynn graduated)? And he took a flyer on a 3 star Rivers "because of his success in the red zone and on 3rd downs"? Jeeze.
I also found this interesting:

Richt might be the Les miles of the east but he has no trouble recruiting QBs

I think every SEC school but Vanderbilt and Florida would have a better passing game than LSU with their second string QBs. It's baffling, and inexcusable.

LSU is not the only major football program that has had problems recruiting QBs. What has Texas done since recruiting Colt McCoy, who was in the same class as Perrilloux? How about Michigan? Has Florida recruited well other than Tebow? Do I have to mention Miami since Ken Dorsey? Recruiting QBs is not as easy as many fans make it out to be.
It is amazing that LSU has been as successful as it has despite its problems at QB. Texas, Florida, Miami and Michigan have not come close to LSU's success without exceptional play at QB.

you left out a little side note:
that Manziel and Prescott both talked to LSU, but LSU did not want them as QBs.

There's always some excuse for Miles when he fricks up.
There's always cover for him, always excuses for his frick-ups.
There are significant and important deficiencies in what Miles brings to the table, but, these are always overlooked and excused.
He's perfect for LSU, and, as the Bammers say: he's good for college football.
