LSJ might not be the answer, but all the points you tried to make were base off of PRO football. To say you need Cam Newton to run the spread in college is laughable. The most successful offenses in college are spread offenses

I stand corrected. To win a national championship in college football, which is akin to NFL level football and coaching, to do it with a spread system you will need a Cam Newton, which if my memory serves me he's the last player to win it capable of passing for 200 plus and running for 100. Not Nick Marshall, who came close. Not Dak. Not Johnny Football. Not Lamar Jackson who plays Duke Wake Forrest and Syracuse etc.

But since I argued what's wrong with LSJ, how about what it would take for him to succeed. Again, I watched him for two years every play. Full all out spread option implemented. Quick passes. A legitimate threat to run by him which means exposing him to hits. WRs who can extend plays and break routes when he rolls out. As some NFL scout just said on TV qbs must dominate the game from within the pocket. LSJ isn't that. Why would the coaches change the entire offense and what's being asked of everyone for one player to succeed with no guarantee of team success.

National. It would be nice to win the SEC, like Alabama did with 5'11" Blake Sims. Also, Deshaun Watson is no Cam Newton.

Lets be honest, If this kid were 6'5", this thread wouldnt exist. If he never gets a shot (which I hope he does), it will be because his height creates the presumption that he can't do it. He's proven he was the best player in the state. If given the an equal chance at the job, he could be good.

jackwagon225 - i see it far differently than you. But again, I've actually seen the practices at LSU.

HIGH SCHOOL
Quick passes?? Ive watched this kid in high school since 10th grade. Check out the 50 second mark. Drops a bomb from the pocket in stride. At 1:42 he drops one from the pocket into the endzone for a TD. At the start of the film, he throws a skinny post to split two defenders. I first saw him on cox as a 10th grader versus 4th ranked plaquemine. He tore them new arses.

His 11 grade year, I watched him dropped 70 pts on top plaquemine who ranked in the top 10 in 4A. I'm good friends with a college coach who recruited this kid. His opinion is "dynamic playmaker, with crazy IQ, who can make all of the throws."

Dak, Johnny and Lamar didn't have great teams around them however they were/are successful QBs in the College Level.
