Hearing we made a huge impression on a new QB

Thought Finley was told no other QB would be pursued.

He and Finley together would be a hell of a QB haul for 20.

When all is said and done I don't think Finley will end up signing with LSU. I think he is headed for a mid major.

Thankfully Florida St is a dumpster fire.

Max Johnson - Junior yr - hudl

I hate to say it but it looks like Max is Danny Etling 2.0. And Etling is one of my top 5 all time favorite Tigers because he was a great competitor and a good person. Loved his pocket awareness and toughness as well. But as a thrower, he was limited.

I see the same lack of arm talent from MJ.

Pros: Good athlete. Impressive size with stocky frame even at 6'4" - with room to put on more weight. Excels at throwing on the run.

Cons: Weak arm relative to what's needed at the D1 level. The few times he is able to put SOME zip on the ball in his highlights were the few times he put the lower half and upper half of his body in to the throw versus just upper half which he used most of the time. Still, his upper half and lower half were never quite in sync for any of his throws. Even so, his arm is weak. Really awkward left-handed throwing motion that will need tweaking. Accuracy wasn't ideal in making up for his lack of arm strength.

Lol!! Finley will never set foot ON CAMPUS to play for LSU.

Vol, do you know if LSU is hearing any news from any Dline prospects? Ika esp.

I think which ever QB comes to LSU needs a powerful OL to block for them. All the proof you need is to look at what the Titans did to Tom freakn Brady. Even the greatest QB of all time isn't worth a damn if the time isn't given to him to makes his reads.

Another prime example is Drew Brees. Yes he does the the ball out fast BUT when he needs time he knows where to step in the pocket to give himself time and has time to wait for that big post pattern to open up. If a QB doesn't have time then you better have a route tree which gets the ball out of the QBs hands fast.

That's what I don't understand about LSU. LSUs offense needs to start with quick route trees when starting a game while mixing in some run game to soften that defense up. When you feel the momentum swing your way and the DL is tired, then you run the longer developing route trees.

I know it was Rice but LSU has the middle and the flats wide open this year almost all year so Burrow and this staff need to work on that type of game plan for the rest of this year and into next year. Chart your darn plays. Orgeron should hire a badass charting assistant who can help Steve E come up with a series of plays and especially when it comes to the RZ. LSU needs to have a more creative/aggressive set of plays when it comes to the RZ. Much more movement, end arounds, flee flickers, roll outs, HB passes, Wild cat plays designed to throw the ball. Look for the TEs, FBs, HBs and have pieces moving all over the place to get the eyes moving. If you line up in a box with 2 or 3 of your typical WRs running their typical route tree then of course you will have trouble getting TDs.

I think our OL of the future is actually an All SEC and in some cases AA OL we have coming. I really do. Our center and guards will be some of the best pulling OLman in the country. We need that tenacious attitude back!!

The best (QB) programs pursue multiple QBs and sign two each year. I.E. Sou Cal, Georgia, Ohio St, UCLA, etc.

Bump ;)
