re: Dandy's interview with Mike Detillier on LSU offense

I don't think his youth or work ethic is his biggest issue. I think he lacks the talent

The fact that Jennings lacks elite talent makes his developmental progression less than that of a QB who does possess that talent.

However, there is nothing to suggest that as Jennings progresses with his development that he can't be an efficient and effective QB for us. He really needed a redshirt year and would have been a fine player in years 4 and 5.

However, Jennings was one of only a handful of P5 QBs in the country in 2014 that started his 2nd year into his career.

Harris obviously has the talent to fall within the elite developmental bracket, but Jennings's seniority places him further along in his development and thus more able than Harris to lead the offense.

Of course, Harris's talent also expedites his growth, so he may not still be behind in the fall.

tl;dr version: both QBs will be better than 2014 and LSU will ride the defense and RBs to the playoffs.
