RECRUIT best QB's in NATION

I have news for you; LSU has been recruiting the top qb's. we have even signed some (harris and Brennen for example). hell, no one recruited more top qb's than kevin sumlin. he had TOO MANY on staff and they all wanted PT or they were gone.

lsu's problem has certainly been qb performance but the WAY WE USED OUR QB'S has been the problem. add to that BH just couldn't do it on game day even tho he was a top qb and had all the talent in the world.

miles was a run, run, pass guy at the end of his career at LSU. it worked fairly well with mettenburger because we had landry and beckham but chavis had pretty much destroyed our defense by then. we have not had a good passing team since then.

in order to have a good passing team, while the qb is the most important, the wr's, the OL and the coaching and play calling ALL must operated as a team. a breakdown or major weakness in any of those components spells doom for the passing game.

sorry, it's just not as simple as you are making it out to be.

Agree.

Gunner Kiel

Hayden Retig

Ryan Perriloux

Jordan Jefferson

Were all highly rank, talented QBs we recruited. Things didn’t always work out. But we’ve always recruited highly ranked QBs.
Brennan and Lowell should change all that. Let’s hope.

I can’t believe no one has thought of this up until now. Get coach O on the phone, he needs this info asap!!!!

Ryan Perriloux would of been a star at any of those schools.

Zach Lee would of been a starter as well

What you posted was most definitely not “Facts” more an opinion.

And do you want to name the last 10 Bama QBs?

Also the thread is about recruiting highly ranked QBs. My whole list was highly ranked. Thus the “they didn’t work out”
Those QBs just didn’t pan out, doesn’t mean they weren’t recruited by us or the other “top tier” programs you mentioned.

Ok well i was agreeing with you until you said that Perrilloux couldn't start at LSU. Now that statement was just dumb or you are too young to remember.

1. RP was a freshman in 07 and sat behind Matt Flynn as LSU won the National Title. RP also came in and won the sec champ. game when Flynn was hurt.

2. RP got kicked off of the team prior to the 08 season.


So yes RP would have definitely started for LSU had he not gotten kicked off the team before his sophomore season.

Uh....I was at the 2007 SEC Championship game. You weren’t. So, no I’m not too young to remember. Does the name Jonathan Zenon ring a bell? And, 2 INT’s in the last 10 minutes of the game by Erik Ainge had a little bit to do with the outcome don’t you think?

They were quality QBs until Les Miles got a hold of them. He immediately neutered each and every one of them. Made them deftly afraid of the turnover. Had each of them playing scared. Each of them was never adequately developed under Les “Play scared and not to lose” Miles. A QB killer.

Based on the response the consensus seems to be that the LSU brass is actually recruiting top-tier QB's. The problem is they don't make it happen in college - for whatever reason. I like the dual threat QB that can keep the defense honest and run when nothing is there or when there is opportunity to run and he can make the defense pay. Etling was o.k. but could not outrun anyone. We get a dual threat QB running the show w some smarts we should be good.

I agree, but it seems to me that Miles really only wanted a DT to be a Pro that could get away from the rush. If we recruit DTs, we should have plays for that. I hope Coach E really will build the offense around the QB.
