re: Can Anthony Jennings improve like Boykin of TCU?

Unfortunately no, I believe he has peaked.

Jennings is not comparable to Boykin. A lot of people on this board were making comparisons with Jennings to Mett I find it hard to believe he can get any worse but if a little bit better isn't going to cut it. QB play and play calling have to be much better going forward if they expect to compete for a national title. I hope while they sat at home this weekend they saw that all these teams pass the ball, yes the may not have the best players but they are well coached and make it work. Its not that hard. Its inexcusable for LSU to be this shitty with an offense more simplified then a hs football team.

Anthony Jennings is the same (or worse) QB he was against Iowa. Zero progression, probably regressed.

I am going with no

I think I was more impressed with Ohio States third string QB. We need to go after their QB coach maybe he can pass on a few things he picked up from Urban to our first or second string QB and coach's.

No, not a chance

cardale jones is better than any QB LSU has on it's roster and he's 3rd string at OSU

That's because as a program there really isn't a system.

because a lot of his issues are just that he doesn't have the arm strength.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, his arm strength really isn't that big of a deal. he's got at least Flynn's arm, if not better. his issues are reading the defense and making quicker decisions (which may improve as he plays more, but I'm not holding my breath), and accuracy.

part of the accuracy issue goes back to him not making quick reads and his mechanics breaking down as a result (which Les even pointed out), but I think most of it is he just doesn't have good touch on his passes.

you never get the feel (even from drills with no pressure) that he can consistently throw a good ball.

I just don't see it in Jennings.

His tendencies will hamper him for as long as he plays. Holding on to the ball too long, skipping simple passes to receivers, missing velocity on his passes.

Sure, some things can and probably will improve. But, I think this offense needs more than just a serviceable QB. It needs someone who can make plays with his feet and arm.

Keep this in mind...he completed near or much less than 50% of his passes. His demeanor in the huddle can be polarizing at times, and he has the unfortunate luck of having a budding superstar nipping at his heels.

The Boykin-potential that we have on the roster resides in Harris, not Jennings.

No!!! BH will be our QB period end of story.... DONE! Stop with this non sense!!
