Rewatching our offense with Jordan Jefferson at the helm

This guy basically had very little help. The playcalling was bad, i mean really bad. Receivers werent getting open. I think he had the potential to be a really good player. Man, it was tough watching alp the max protect with 2 routes to choose from. Then 4 wide, nobody open, and no protection. Just brutal what some of these quarterbacks had to put up with.

HB dive, short side option, ,long developing play action, punt lol

Jefferson just wasn't very good. He had a very strong arm but he didn't throw with touch. They tried to utilize his mobility and that's why he was ultimately able to succeed as much as he did. I never saw many flashes of great passing ability.
I'm sure a better offensive scheme could have helped. I would argue it would have helped Lee even more.

Run, run, delay of game, sack, punt

Why would you do that to yourself

I remember JJ having a very slow throwing motion. Seems like it took forever to go through his motion. He wasn’t very good imo.

True!

Maybe at another position but not at quarterback. He was a fine athlete.
It’s really best we drop the whole JJ narrative. That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Jordan had problems.
Jordan had an all world team around him.
The play calling is on the level of the rest of the SEC at that time.

The guy who would say "I played pretty good" after the game
40 % completion 130 yards and a couple of picks

No, you are dead wrong. JJ often missed wide open receivers on plays my wife might have made. I was in the stands at Vandy one year, and he could not complete simple swing passes to open receivers.
Surely a better offense would have yielded better results, but JJ was not a passing QB.

Jordan was not a good passer. He was a very good athlete who might have prospered in a system like Mullen's.

We’re all LSU fans here. I will say that I don’t have no personal issues with JJ, and the Jefferson family has proven their love for LSU but JJ was the worst college QB I’ve ever seen at a major D1 program. He was invited to the NFL combine and was graded not only the worst QB there, but the worst PLAYER rating overall.

Rewatched the 2011 Oregon game a few days ago on SECN. That offense was awful to watch. I hope LSU never goes back to anything resembling that.

I agree he had little help especially from the offensive scheme.
But he also was wildly inaccurate at times and made bad decisions.
That said, he wasn’t as bad as some here remember. Unfortunately he will be remembered for that last game on 1/9/12. He and Les were awful that night.

Why are we such a dramatic bunch, the offense could have been better...but neither Lee nor Jefferson nor Jennings nor Harris were ever going to be really good quarterbacks...period. The offense was too dependent on good QB play an decisions, so when we didn't get that they went too conservative to manage the games and win...which they did. It was ugly, infuriating, but also for the most part effective.

He is/was not as good as you think.

JJ was not a good enough passer with the offense we ran. If they would have put more quick short passes he could have been better but it was always run, run, play action pass downfield. Jarret Lee would have been in heaven with our current offense and one if the best QB in the SEC.

Jefferson was a winner. He was a limited QB, but made some huge throws when it counted the most. He gets zero credit for his pocket awareness and play making ability especially on 3rd down, both with his legs and arm.
Accuracy and anticipation were not his strong points but he was a better player than most want to believe.
He won the Game of the Century in Gumpville against that great team and coach.
