Why are LSU fans so afraid to demand elite QB play?

Why are so many of you content to (and are almost gleeful in some cases) to accept a "game manager"? Unless we put a historic defense on the field this type of strategy won't lift LSU's recent level of performance.

If we don't put a historic defense on the field we likely aren't going to win a championship

Should we ask more out of our QBs? Of course

Do you need a lottery pick QB to win the CFP? Not really.

Some guy no one was expecting to start is now tRant's frontrunner and looked "damn good" while throwing for less than 50%. Our fanbase is broken.

Why should the fans have to?

Elite QB play is a good thing. Having a high-powered offense with more than one dimension is a good thing. Why should any decent coach need to be convinced of that?

These are questions I've been asking since 2009.

Because the overwhelming majority are bashful and afraid to express opinions about LSU football. That's why we never hear (or see on this board) concern expressed about QB play.
Your prescient post is the first time anyone really thought about it...

I hate to burst the collective bubble of those who have high expectations for this season, but we're going to need elite QB play if your expectations are going to hold true. Those of you who think we'll win 10 games with the offense we saw in the spring game are delusional. I see 7 wins and 5, albeit close, loses. The defense will keep us in every game.

"demand"?!?!

When are LSU fans going to learn they hold no power when it comes to decisions in the athletic department?

Why do so many fans not understand how difficult it is to find what the Rant would consider an Elite QB?

We don't even demand good coaching. Why would we demand good QB play?

How exactly would demanding elite qb play work? Are we supposed to protest in the streets?

In recent years How many elite qb’s have won national championships. Tua didn’t play until that big game but other than that it hasn’t been unless you want to call d Watson elite at Clemson

I am not afraid to. It comes down to finding and developing one. When did this last happen at LSU?

Elite high school quarterbacks want to remain elite , that’s why they go to other schools .....
