re: As bad as recognizing Miles won't improve, we now know Harris won't either

I think it's clearly "them", and miles should take tons of heat for signing them and continuing to run them out there.

So, you think it's likely that somehow, Miles recruited 5 straight 4 Star rated QBs and not only weren't they good, but none of them were even capable of fielding a standard competent passing offense?

That strains credulity. There are teams all over the country fielding 3 star guys who manage to not look like Special Olympians of passing.

I'd buy 1 bust.........but each of these guys came out as a 4 star.
JL
JJ
AJ
Rettig
BH

And again, we're not really asking for "good" at this point. Somehow, they were all relatively awful for much of their careers. And, if any of them had found themselves in an offense with a shite running game, we might have averaged 50 yards a game.

Jefferson was unfairly treated by the fans here.

In hindsight, I agree.

Yes I think there have been some huge misses on the talent evaluation. Most notably BH and AJ.

Objectively you'd have to say both JL and JJ were serviceable SEC QBs, at a minimum. Hell they combined to lead LSU to its greatest season ever, until the bama rematch. But you can't overlook 12-0 SEC champs with pretty good overall passing stats.

And did rettig ever take a meaningful snap? Can't really evaluate him as an LSU QB if he never played.

Don't forget rivers as well. What the hell was that signing?

Bottom line IMO is that we have failed too many times with QB recruiting. And then on top of that miles has been pretty bad choosing which QB to play.

Yeah, but that had a lot to do with his attitude.

He did have a shitty attitude sometimes, no question. And people disliked him for the thing at Shady's.

And people loved Jarrett Lee.

Either way, we've seen that QB play can be much worse than what we had with Jefferson. He was a pretty good rushing threat, was hard to bring down, and I think he was a lot more competitive than people gave him credit for. He also had some great passing games, they just didn't come consistently.

Jefferson's size helped him so much. We need to stop recruiting small dudes at quarterback, especially in this offense if our QB is going to be sitting in the pocket with an O-line getting shoved back into his face immediately after every snap.

Seriously. Harris is listed at 6'3, but I'm sure he's not actually. Give me a 6'5 or 6'6 shitty quarterback over a 6'1 or 6'2 shitty quarterback all day.

the rant believes Miles and Cameron coach him to play like that. Seriously they actually think that.


But you're right, LSU has no QB right now. Serviceable anyway. Maybe the new staff can do something with the younger guys, let's hope

Agreed, my wise fran.

I just can't see how you can look at all these highly ranked QBs...

Lee - High 4* (elite 11)
Jefferson - Low 4*
Jennings - Low 4*
Harris - High 4* (Elite 11 #2 DT in the country)

And come to any conclusion other than their scheme and coaching suck arse. There is no way on earth everyone of these were recruiting misses.

I watched Harris with my own eyes in HS play loose and extremely confident. He took off when needed and he was much more accurate.

Now we see a scared, timid QB, afraid to throw an INT.
