Miles recruits from a narrow pool. Sure, he recruits some from other pools, but they have no shot at winning the job. The QB who Miles selects is the one willing to "protect the ball at all costs", and that guy is usually the one with the poorest field vision and ok running skills. The play selection and philosophy constrain the QB's development, and the first time the young man messes up with turnovers, Miles has "the talk of protecting the ball", lessening the QB's confidence further. Next thing you know, the QB is ruined and brain is underecoverable, until we play a poor defense, and then Miles justifies more of the same nonsense even more. It is highly predictable and complete bs of a method, and after so many times seeing this play out, you have to be a complete fool to see anything else.

the last time we let the a subpar QB let it rip we lost 5 games.

how is that any better than what we are doing now?

JL's mind was fricked up because he was allowed to go out and throw a million picks, and any "take care of the ball" speech was warranted.

And to say JJ's mind was ruined by less gives JJ's mind way too much credit coming in.

how many times have you seen this play out?

we have had 6 starters under Les
3 were good (Russell, Flynn, Mettenburger)
2 sucked (JJ, JL) but this scenario didn't happen to them at all
1 is only a sophomore, so to say you've seen it play out is pretty dumb.

Also i don't know how you say this is what is happening to Jennings.

people say its that we never throw, but he does nothing with the chances we do give him, and we give him chances.

7/19 Iowa
9/21 vs Wisconsin
13/26 vs Miss St.
8/26 vs Bama

Freak,
That is the best reasoning I have heard yet, and everything you said is true based on past history.

Like you said, you have to think your eyes are lying to you to believe other wise.
