re: LSU Recruiting shifting thier focus for QB's (ESPN)

When we scout these kids, we scout them in a system that they are familiar with, geared to their strong points, and therefore, they flourish. Then we put them into a new system and they aren't as strong at developing as their bum high-school coach said that they were capable of... hence... our present situation. What kills me is the lack of developing an offense that these kids can understand and run effectively.

This.

I don't understand what the hell we are doing with these young QBs. They play in a spread system, put up massive numbers in a spread system, and then try to make them dropback passers who can occasionally run a read option.

IF YOU WANT DROPBACK PASSERS, RECRUIT DROPBACK PASSERS!
