Except that his weapons were true freshmen who were being beat up on the line of scrimmage, his offensive line was learning a new blocking scheme, and even late in the season was much better with run blocking than pass blocking, and the defense was among the worst in the country at forcing turnovers.
This is hogwash. Our OL played very well, especially later in the year and that is when Jennings regressed.
Dural was consistently getting open at WR, Diarse is a big target, and Quinn, despite his critically timed drops was open on slants a good bit. Dupre got into the mix at the end of the year and Jennings didn't even look for him.
Our RBs had 2 seniors and a superstar freshman.

The standard of QB play at LSU recently has been extremely poor,
This isn't true either, really. Mett was lights out in 2013, literally the year before Jennings.
I'm not saying we were 1995 Nebraska last year but our QB held us back, I'm just saying that he had an historically bad year individually and he had NFL talent all around him and was in his second year in that system.

And I really root for AJ. Seems like he works his arse off, studies in the classroom and film room, and seems to be a great teammate.
It sucks that he sucked, but that's just a fact. People who boo should be suspended from attending the following game though. There's no place for that. He is trying his best.
His best just wasn't good enough. History is filled with good guys that worked hard but just weren't good enough at their sport to succeed at the highest level. You root for those guys, but eventually you need to wake up and realize he just doesn't have the talent.

Mett had the same supporting cast in 2012 and 2013, yet played poorly in one year, and better than Russell in the other.
Give it another five weeks. Jennings will be better, Harris will be better, Fournette will be better, Dural, Dupre, and Quinn will be better, the line will be better, and we may just throw a few passes to Smith and Washington.
NFL Talent isn't NFL talent when it's as raw as these players were.

Our OL was garbage towards the end of the year. It wasn't good in the first half either. Pass protection was a HUGE issue.
Dural was often blanketed because he couldn't create separation. Sometimes the other receivers got open but they never came back to the ball to help Jennings out.
Magee was average at best, Hilliard's best game was against Wisconsin, and Fournette wasn't very good until the Florida game onward.
It's a miracle that our QBs did as well as they did.
