Did anyone see episode 1 of "A Season With" Florida State Football on Showtime? It was really good and one thing in particular that I took notice of was Jimbo's weekly QB test that he gives to each QB on the roster. It has questions around the defense they're facing that week(best player to watch for, coverages in certain situations, etc). It's of no surprise why Deandre Francois performed well against Ole Miss in his first start. It's the things like this that we know Miles isn't doing with LSU that separate good teams from great teams. You can't be a national contender on talent alone in college football. It's all apart of the process that real coaches understand. It's about being as prepared as you can be. Something that LSU doesn't do that is a direct reflection of their head coach Les Miles.

It would be very enlightening to see what our QBs get in the way of mentoring, coaching, and game prep in the course of a game week.

he went from brandon harris to jameis winston in a matter of a half.

Right

He didn't start out good. He was playing poorly..

but they opened it up for him.. got him comfortable doing what he does.. and they let him ball.

See at LSU, if he had started out like that.. he would have finished just as poorly IMO. I just believe we have a stigma with the passing game and it starts from the top. It wouldn't matter which great young qb we had.. they'd most likely all look the same under the current offense.

I hate when fans say we don't have a QB and then say they wish we had one of these great young QBs.. they would all look similar under Miles. It takes a Senior qb under Miles to finally look decent in the passing game.. and that's a problem.. He might as well stop recruiting high school qbs.. and solely go after Juco transfer given his history..

I'd like to believe this, but something tells me it would only cast more shadows.

I have absolutely zero doubt that we could have 18 year old Peyton Manning on the roster and not be able to develop him enough to have a career in the NFL.

ZERO DOUBT

The one qb recruit that I think might have been able to overcome Miles coaching was Shea Patterson. Really wish they had been able to get him, because I believe he is that good.. but even with him, you just never know with this current staff.

Dameyune Craig
Rohan Davey
Jamarcus Russell
Matt Flynn
Christian Ponder
EJ Manuel
Jameis Winston
and now Francois


Every one of these guys was a total stud QB by the time they left Jimbo's tutelage.

I gotta think Narcisse and Brennan are going to be awfully attractive for a big name coach considering LSU.

Matt Mauck and Matt Flynn both threw for over 2400 yards and 20 TDs under Jimbo. Can you even imagine how good we'd be with those numbers over the last few years? Makes me cry.

Watched the 1st episode right after I saw your post! Forgot it aired this week. I think Fisher would be awesome for us. He's a great coach, loves his players, and is a great recruiter and motivator. I couldn't help but watch and think how this would look if they followed LSU and how comical/sad it would be to try and figure out what the hell Miles said half the time in the office interview moments, or what kind of interaction he even has with Harris and the QB's. Would be eye opening to go all access like that into our program.
