2008 - Jarrett Lee - 43.4
2009 - Jordan Jefferson - 59.6 (Year 1)
2010 - Jordan Jefferson - 59.3 (Year 2)
2011 - Jefferson / Lee split time and neither qualified for QBR rating

What’s interesting is Jefferson was the only QB that didn’t dramatically improve his second year.

No offense to the ratings of any of these. The LSU secondary in 2010-2013 was full of NFL players not to mention the dline talent. There were opportunities to wear out the opposing defenses those offenses faced with the exception of one school.

I’d actually be kind of curious to see Lee’s QBR from 2011.

The longer Crowton was here the worse the QBs became, and the more we threw the worse the offense was.

He was probably a good play caller but his stunting of the QBs destroyed those few years. As soon as he was gone the effectiveness improved, and even though it became a strength in Mett’s second year as a starter the defense was shite at that point.

Do you see the 95 next to his name? Burrow and JD5 started to turn around before their last year begun. Nuss hasn't yet.

Crazy that he’s somehow above Flynn in ‘07. Just doesn’t seem right.

Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating


Does this take into account supporting cast?

The few things that really caught my eye:
Jayden's leap from '22 to '23. Wow.
Flynn's low rating. Would not have guessed that.
Etling was better than I thought.

Great work OP.
