Then we heard how there was a new and improved Jordan Jefferson on the practice fields this spring. It started with Miles, but reporters joined the parade of propaganda. Not all of them, but enough of them. Amazingly, the fact that none of them actually saw Jefferson playing so well in practice did not stop them. Reporters are not allowed to watch at practice at LSU except the first few periods, which are usually just warm-ups and reveal little. But Miles and other coaches — both on and off the record — insisted this was a new Jordan Jefferson. Then we were told Jefferson threw four or five touchdowns — depending on which version of Miles Math you believe — in a closed scrimmage a week before the spring game.
quote:
And then on Saturday the new Jefferson looked exactly like the old Jefferson of 2010 as he completed just 4 of 14 passes for 102 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. Then we were told Jefferson is unquestionably the starter for the 2011 season. What is Jefferson to think? No matter how poorly he played virtually game after game through the first half of the 2010 season, he remained the starter.
quote:
Jefferson knows the system, we are told. And the system has not changed all that much under new offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe, who will mainly try to improve the quarterbacks' technique and streamline what has been a confused process. But how has Jefferson's knowledge of the system, which is going into its fourth year, improved LSU's passing offense? It hasn't.
quote:
Maybe the system should be changed. Maybe it has been so long since LSU has had a good quarterback, the fans, media, Miles and the LSU electorate no longer know what one looks like.
Now this was before Mettenberger started but it still holds the same weight, probably more so because we saw what a real QB is and then went right back to what wasn't working. As you can see, spring means jack shite other than the spring game itself foreshadowing more QB struggles despite the coach speak saying otherwise.

Uh, it completely negates your entire point. You don't have to shite on every QB thread just as a point of pride.

Glenn Guilbeau??
Guilbeau was wrong. He wrote that piece in April 2011. He was predicting that Jefferson's 2011 season would be a bad year like Jefferson's 2010 season, Jefferson's worst at LSU.
Except that in 2011, Jefferson improved significantly from 2010. Jefferson went on to have his best year at LSU, and LSU went on to beat every team they played.

Spare me this bullshite. He went to manning passing academy and was getting praised saying he was the best qb there. It wasn't just Miles, it was people outside the program as well.
Both JJ and Lee improved from freshman year to senior year.
