but we've also been EXTREMELY unlucky at the QB position in terms of kicked off the team, last minute bailouts, and no chest ect.

1. Perrilloux happened in 2008. It's time to move one from that
2. The Zach Lee phenomenon needs to stop. There's absolutely no way anyone can surmise he would have even started here. And if Zach Lee had worked out, we likely don't get Mettenberger. I think that's a push at best because Mettenberger was extremely productive for us. Jennings was highy rated out of high school, so was JarrettLee, so was Jefferson, so was Harris, so were most of the QBs we have signed. This not a matter of bad luck. This is a matter of Les not knowing how to play or develop QBs.

I'd say Harris was having a good year before he got injured and considering his depth was Jennings (no disrespect to Jennings because he really did try his best).


Plus Rettig transferred out with Harris coming in.


You only See Lee-Jefferson and Jennings. There's a lot more to the puzzle.


You basically just said "Oh he mishandled the situation if you get over Ryan, Zach Lee and Gunner Kiel"

Two of Three of those would have started for more than two years at least.

to be fair, the combined effort in 2011 wasnt bad at all. Yes it was bad against bama, but they made plenty of good qbs look bad, just like LSU does at times.

2009 was promising from a young JJ. The hope was ok just dont turn the ball over and develop this kid. Well he never panned out.

Mett came on the end of 2012. That was just a bad luck year. Best player kicked off, numerous injuries through out the season. At one point LSU had 21 scholarship players miss play time that season. That's a huge hit and was still close to winning the west.

Last two seasons have sucked. That's on the coaches for not bridging the gap after Mett. Mett was the fix for the Zach Lee thing. None of those other qbs panned out. Garrett, Rivers, Randall. Still cant believe you couldnt get more from Rettig than what we saw in 2014 from the qbs.

Just hope that Harris improves. If he puts in the work and the coaches keep stressing the pass game, I dont see a reason why he cant.

no. I would take the word extremely out of that statement and then would agree. Mett was our QB 2 years and pretty well stunk his first year. his feet were encased in concrete and hardly ever picked up a first down that way. his accuracy was marginal; he made a living off of OBJ and Landry going up for long balls and grabbing them. his "great year", the one everyone hails didn't help us win shite. sure, our D cost us the Georgia game but we still couldn't get over the SEC west hurdle. believe me, I would have loved to have him last year, I just don't think he was THAT great.
