Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris didn't have the goods. It wasn't a question of development.
Jordan Jefferson didn't have the goods either. He never even sniffed the NFL. Lee had some skills and talents and perhaps things would have been different if he hadn't been thrust into a starters job so early. Plus he had the added pressure of needing to put points on the board to cover an absolutely shitty defense in '08.
Scheme contributed to some of their problems as did coaching but none of those guys were elite talents.


So in your view Lee is the only one who had the requisite skills? You mentioned Jefferson never sniffed the NFL. I must have missed Lee's NFL career.

I believe that each of the QBs you claim did not have the skills, especially Brandon Harris, with proper development could have been very good starting QBs. Lee included. It is no coincidence that for more than a decade high school QBs recruited by Les Miles were never developed. Yet people like you want to blame those QBs who chose LSU and placed their futures in Miles' hands. Les Miles offensive philosophy stunted the growth of the QBs.

What QB did Miles recruited and developed into an above average QB? There isn't one. The only successful QBs under Miles at LSU were initially developed elsewhere.

A coach's job is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of his QB and develop and offensive scheme accordingly.

Hell, Lane Kiffin, in his first year, turned Blake Sims into a productive QB. Gus turned Nick Marshall into a productive QB.

It's not always about having a Tim Tebow or Deshawn Watson. Just take what you have, and develop an offense that uses their skills, while hiding their weaknesses.

You know, coaching.
