Scott was not SEC caliber and he's still not. Just look at his offer sheet. Why LSU went after him with all the other talent ahead of him is beyond me.
That's the reason lsu has had QB trouble for the last 6 to 7 years. Going after sub par players that don't work out. It makes no sense. Same thing with Myles just look at his offer sheet. It's not lsu caliber.

I always say... exactly what is "LSU caliber". Its not a place where QBs develop. Face it, avg QB play is LSUs hallmark. And sub 6'0 QBs are viewed with skepticism nationally. Coaches that will truly take a chance on a sub 6'0 guy, are more rare than shorter QBs who can play. It takes the right kind of coach to take that chance.

With the ball in his hands, all Scott has done is win. Hes been responsible for to many wins for me to question his abilities.

LSU didnt fail in its recruitment of Scott (nor most of its QBS). LSU has failed to bring in a true QB developer, with an offensive system that designed to highlight QB talents. Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray as LSU QBs, would not lead to Heisman careers. They both found a system that was QB centric, and it paid off. They both transferred to schools that bought in. LSU fans have forgotten what elite QB is like because of the lack of top offensive minds.
