JJ wasn't a "bad" QB and neither was JL
So they weren't the sole reason that the best LSU football team of all time didn't win a championship? They were "mediocre" while surrounded by a ridiculous amount of talent which makes them below average in general. Would JJ or JL have had "mediocre" stats if they would've played for anyone other than LSU or Bama? Probably not. Their mediocrity was a product of their incredibly advantageous situations. If either of them were "mediocre", we would've been the national champions in 2011

Why don't you list the names of those NFL WRs and OLinemen along with any collegiate accolades and draft position?

Again, only 4 QB's took more snaps than him in the history of LSU football. His totals are a product of him spending more time on the field surrounded by elite talent than any other QB in LSU history

Below average? Holy shite. 

Only 4 lsu players have accounted for pretty total offense. 
1. Tommy Hodson 8,938 yards 
2.Jeff Wickersham 6,705 yards 
3.JaMarcus Russell 6,704 yards 
4.Herb Tyler 6,654 yards 
5.Jordan Jefferson 5,751 yards

2.Herb Tyler 63tds 
3.JaMarcus Russell 56tds 
4.Kevin Faulk 47tds 
5.Jordan Jefferson 46tds 


In what reality are those career stats below average?


Didn't want this lost on the last page. Explain how those are below average career stats.

Even with his snaps you don't suck your entire career and finish top 5 in career tds and career total yards at a top 15 alltime program. It's impossible.

Again the snaps would be valid if his yards per ATTEMPT weren't high. If he was completing short passes, as you claimed, he wouldn't be anywhere near the top 5 in total yards. You do realize that yeah? You can't claim his yards are a product of.attempts and then say his compl% is because of easy short yardage passed. You do realize that, right?

Reuben Randle, James Wright, Jarvis Landry, Brandon Lafell, Terrance Toliver, Demetrius Byrd. Are you kidding me?

Chris Faulk, Alex Hurst, La'el Collins. I really don't feel like looking through linemen but it's ridiculous to act like he wasn't surrounded by elite talent. Please go the frick away and start your thread

I'd be curious to see that in terms of TDs per start

You know that wide receivers can do this thing called catch the ball and run, yeah?

You do realize that he's pretty much on an island as far as attempts go, right? That why his attempts and total yardage are comparable. There are only like 2 other quarterbacks close to 700 passes, there are 3 that had significantly more and a lot that had significantly less

Reuben Randle from 2009-11
97 rec. 1634 yd 13 TD
Drafted 2nd Round in 2012 NFL Draft

James Wright from 2009-11
7 rec. 62 yd
Drafted 7th Round in 2014 NFL Draft

Jarvis Landry from 2009-11
4 rec. 43 yd
Drafted 2nd Round in 2014 NFL Draft

Brandon LaFell from 2009-11
57 rec. 792 yd. 11 TD

Terrence Toliver from 2009-11

Undrafted

Demetrius Byrd from 2009-11
N/A

I'll give you Reuben Randle. Jefferson played with LaFell for one year and the rest of that list is a crapshoot.


Chris Faulk - 2011 2nd team All-SEC, Undrafted
Alex Hurst - 2011 1st team All-SEC, Undrafted
La'el Collins - 2011 Played in seven games with no starts ... Saw action on 46 snaps on the offensive line

those were all extremely talented wideouts and they had terrible stats because of who was throwing to them. Thanks for proving my point

So he is 5th in terms of snaps, but 6th in terms of stats?

Byrd, Wright, and Landry didn't even play during the same years as Jefferson. LaFell played with him for one.

Byrd didn't play in 2008? Interesting. I guess his wideouts always sucked then, you're exactly right you delusional frick. Start that thread yet btw?

Jefferson didn't play in 2008... he was able to throw passes to Byrd for three games...

Here was Byrd's contribution to Jefferson's career numbers
8 rec. 77 yards

Ok, if that's your play, knock yourself out.

That's right, they weren't.

We didn't go 13-0 "solely" due to QB play and we didn't go 13-1 "solely" due to QB play either. There was only 1 element of the LSU team that came to try and win a NC and that was the D which held Bama without a TD till late. The special teams were not special and the OL got abused.

QB is an easy target for fans to dump on and while JJ played bad, he sure and the hell wasn't alone in the bad play department on the night. imo

He is
5th in total yards
5th in tds
6th in passing yards
6th in compl %

In no way is that below average career stats.

All but JaMarcus had more starts than JJ. JJ started just over 2 years worth of games.

Not surprisingly something went over your head.

The point is if he was any good he would have better stats because he had so many starts

He started because we didn't have anyone better. He was a mediocre to poor QB

its almost as bad as the pumpers defending the coaching.
