re: An offense more suited to JJ's strengths.

It's clear that JJ has the most experience and he makes the least amount of mistakes

Not true. Taking sack after sack is a mistake just as much as throwing picks. As far as the best offense for JJ, apparently basketball. He seems to love the skip pass.

Seriously, I would say West Coast. You can't be a run oriented team if he keeps taking sacks on 2nd down. Even if you're getting 5-6 yards on 1st, that 2nd and 4-5 quickly turns into 3rd and long after a patented JJ 6 second sack. When LSU does throw the ball with JJ, it needs to be quick. I'd say a lot of quick slants/screen plays as well as some jump balls with Toliver/Randle.

See Peach Bowl GA Tech. Like many have said, roll out, quick passes, use the TE. It all start with the Oline though

Jefferson was 7th in the SEC with pass plays for 25+ yards. He had 22; however, only one QB had greater than 28(Mallett). The only QB with a higher overall competion % higher on the list is Tebow.

I would like someone to give a logical explanation how his deep ball is so inferior to his peers when considering this info. This also occured with an OL that was complete shite.

He often gets criticized for not being able to stretch the field with the deep ball. I posted this response to this critique in another thread.

I think the guy can be a stud with an OL and a play action offense/roll out offense.

OK ... how many of those actually travelled more than 15 yards in the air? I would guess that most were 10 yard completions that were turned into 25+ yard gains by the WR.

My question is how can we tailor an offfense to fit his style of play and take advantage of his athletic abilities? What offensive scheme currently ran in college football might JJ excel?

A HS coach has to answer those kinds of questions. College coaches usually recruit to fit their scheme.

Depends on how you are coached. If you are coached by a staff that is terrified of getting raked over the coals again because their last QB threw 7 pick-6's, then taking sack after sack might be exactly what you are coached to do.

Hopefully, our coaching staff is smarter than the rantards and realizes that the pick-6's are meaningless (the 14 INTs overall was the real concern), and coaches our QBs to make good decisions, both to hold on to the ball and to throw it.

JJ needs a few things to excel in the SEC. The main thing is protection. I don't care how long he holds on to the ball if we don't have protection up front it's pointless. The next thing comes from having the first, We need a run game. Give him these two things and he is SEC good enough IMO. As I have said before and as someone else pointed out, When he takes a good hit the offense goes down. He rattles easy and often when the pressure gets to him. He has been hit enough and shown that scared look on his face and the offense has shot to hell after wards enough that other coaches aim for this in game planing.

Roll him out more often, He has shown he can gain huge yards with his feet when needed and able to make the plays outside of the pocket... Mainly in part because the pocket never held and there was distance between him and the nearest defender to make the reads and plays. I think our o line will produce better and the run game will pick up helping him a ton this year. Having two threats at WR in TT and RR will help as well not to mention the disadvantage RS will create in the slot resulting in more quicker throws as well. I just see us being a lot better this year on offense. Then again compared to last season it won't be hard to do.

The kid had a 60% completion percentage. He obviously knows how to make the right decisions

supremely shallow and incorrect analysis.
