Maybe I can't, but at least I'm not some childish troll who looks for any opportunity to bash Les Miles even when I know absolutely nothing about a topic. Go back to stalking J.C. please.

I think one thing that kept JJ on the field was the stupid height thing.. 6'5" vs. JL's 6'2" supposedly gave JJ more vision to see those open receivers. But the mouse upstairs had checked out!

anyhow, 6'? he'll be benched I hope in favor of the studs we have in line

I was reading another site. Someone mentioned that he might be good as a WR.

Randall threw for 18 TDs as a junior and 9 as a senior in HIGH SCHOOL. A strong arm doesn't mean shite. But, continue to drool over him because he is black and athletic. That'll work out.

Jerrard Randall

The way I heard the story, similar to what someone posted earlier, was that Randall came down to the wire qualifying at Oregon, and while he was in clearing house limbo Kelly's staff moved on. One of our assistants had kept in contact and told him if things didn't work out up north he had a spot at LSU.

Based on his film, he has a monster arm but seemed to more or less hang the ball up and let really fast receivers go get it, IMO. He is more of an athlete than a passer, right now, but no one knows how he may develop.

I don't see the staff moving him anytime soon, as he is the only duel threat QB on the roster, but he probably would have the ability to be a WR, or a DB.


ETA: Fixed the link, and watching the longer tape he does make a few tough throws. Highschool DBs, but seems to have nice ball speed and also touch when he needs it. TIFWIW

Maximus has a point about the spelling. Why would you use that as a moniker?

I before E except after C. I still subconsciously abide to that old English rule apparently.

Live arm, solid mechanics. Has speed and quickness but I wouldn't call him dual-threat. He's a pocket QB.

Just because he lacks height or something? He definitely has the legs to be duel threat.

Just because his previous tendencies was to be a pocket passer doesn't mean he'll be one at LSU. JJ was a pocket passer, and we turned him into a "dual threat"

had trouble with the NCAA Clearing House, apparently nothing but logistics

Had problems with his ACT score. Oregon moved on and he was left without a home. Miles spoke recently about moving him around. Doubt he will ever see the light of day at QB.
