Les really wants to open up the offense, but Jennings can't do it, and Harris is too inexperienced

Copying and pasting from Twitter the way you are doing it is terrible.

Drew Brees is highly athletic. But he's also a drop back QB.

Drew Brees is one of the 4 or 5 best QBs of the last 15-20 years

Right. There's no correlation between Kelly and Brees other than just because someone is athletic, don't assume "he can't be a drob back QB". There are lots of mobile pocket passers. It's just that the pass first is a skill LSU should be looking for, with the ability to escape.

Not have an offense with one receiver on the field with a single branch route tree and expect the guy to excel.

The point is that Drew is clearly the exception and not the rule.

When someone describes a QB as "athletic" I think we all know what kind of mold they likey fit into.

Of the 3 QBs Les has had success with here, not one of them could be described first as "athletic"

Point well taken. But mine was more of "let's just wait and see" other than light our torches.

It was said before that Jennings was a pass first QB.

One of these non-"athletic" guys had 100 rushing attempts and four rushing tds in his final year.

Really want nothing to do with this kid. He's not better than Harris, maybe not even an upgrade over Jennings, and he's a colossal jackass to boot.

If he didn't have the past issues with teammates and coaches I'd say we need all the depth we can get, but I just don't see him fitting into our QB group and being content with providing depth.

Here are his stats on the season:

263 for 400, 65.8%, 3472 yards, 8.7 YPA, 42 TD, 8 INT
57 carries, 413 yards, 4 TD, 7.2 YPC


That is through 11 games, so he is throwing it 36 times a game and carrying it about 5 times a game.

But it seems we haven't offered him, and maybe because of his attitude...it's pretty poor.

His team is 11-0 and throws for 360 ypg. He is listed on 24/7 as the #1 JUCO DT QB this year.

Gotta look into it more. I know he's Jim Kelly's nephew, and had signed with Clemson out of high school.


So we are going with the relative of a current or former great NFL QB?

Did LSU not learn from its Rivers experiment or the one with Montana's kid?
