Do you people realize you say the same shite every year about the next savior quarterback. When said Quarterback finally makes it onto the field he is shite on and talk of the next big thing starts.

LSU needs to get it's coaching staff in order. You can have all the talent in the world on this team but the current coaching staff just cannot put it together on the field.

I get what you are saying and agree to a point. But part of the problem at QB for LSU is we constantly wind up with inexperienced QBs that got put into early and never developed. Too many classes with no QB's or QB's that flamed out. It is really inexcusable. The recent recruiting is at least trending in the right direction. 13 Jennings 14 Harris 15 McMillian (project) 16 Franks etc.

Franks is key because we would FINALLY be in position to have a guy that didn't have to play to early. You have Harris for 2 years then can start Franks as a RS Soph or Jr and have him for 2 years etc...

I completely agree that it is inexcusable. I was speaking more towards the narrative that gets pushed here every single year. Fans clamor for that next highly rated QB recruit and shite on the current QB until said recruit becomes the QB and is shite on. The cycle goes on and on.

Franks is an important prospect but rarely do you get QBs out of high school that can immediately compete at a high level. I agree they need time to develop. Development is the issue. Mettenberger sat his first year, struggled his RS junior year and blossomed his senior year.

Mettenberger did not have to play early and it still took over two years to get him in a position to be successful.

Your point speaks more to allowing a quarterback time develop without being thrust into the limelight then it does the talent and ability of Franks. The issue I have is that these same fans that are bashing Harris and saying they can't wait until Franks arrives were the ones bashing Jennings and saying they can't wait until Harris starts.

I see part of the problem is we put ourselves in the position of "with inexperienced QBs that got put into early and never developed". That doesn't HAVE to happen... however, noting we are not alone in that (e.g. Vernon Adams).

Instead of having Mett come in and kneel against OM (which he promptly bootlegged for end zone, never saw that again- EVER). How about putting him in a little early and letting him throw. frick running up scores and "good guy" perceptions.

Same thing with Jennings. Never know... with more time under his belt 2014 might have looked different.

How about not letting E Michigans and WKU's be in the game in the 4th where you can go all out and run a REGULAR offense with #2's.

I'm not saying THAT is the ONLY problem and would have kept us out of such situations. I'm saying it would have reduced the chances of finding ourselves in such a conundrum.
