re: JJ Can't Read a Defense: That's Been Our Problem

JJ can't understand the offense because Crowton has no consistant offense to run with two unconsistant QB's to work with because he has no idea how to teach them to get better. its a vicious circle.
all three are the problem. hopefully ZM is the fix.

JJ's drop back is slow, his reads are slow and his deliveries are slow. His play action is a joke. However, how much of this could have been improved with a "quarterbacks" coach who actually coaches?

since when does beating Alabama and finishing 10-2 in the SEC West this season (as the starter) not qualify someone for a Div-1 QB?

jjs problem is accuracy and just an absolute severe case of thin skin.
he cannot be accurate off his back foot, which i hate to say it, sometimes youre gonna have to do in the sec.
and at some point, you've got to just turn it loose and trust your 5 star athletes outside to go up and make a play. and i just dont see that.

Seems that since '08, the longer he is "coached up", the worse he does.

JJ is preparing for Rhodes Scholarship. No time to read defenses.

People who have zero understanding of football use the term "can't read a defense" to excuse poor play.

How does Jefferson's inability to a read a defense cause our Wide Receivers to never be open?

Who would typically be responsible for that one?
The crappy teacher or the crappy talent evaluator?

WR's are open all the time. JJ panics after the one he locked on is covered and takes off running like a cane cutter fleeing a Beagle with no particular direction at all.

Are you talking about LSU?
This season?

Let me put it another way. He has shown no signs of being able to read a defense. Maybe he can and is hiding it very effectively.

Ever consider that the offense run doesn't lend itself to finding open receivers in a reasonable amount of time?
For instance, do you think that Darron Thomas (QB from Oregon) is exceptional at "reading defenses"?

Watch the film. JJ has plenty of opportunities to throw passes to open receivers. So does Lee. They just don't recognize what is happening in front of them.

Thomas does a fairly good job of recognizing coverage. Nothing exceptional. He is able to pick out mismatches and utilize them.

After this year, I'd be surprised if JJ could read a children's book. That dude is dumber than a pickle!

Good point Moss !

Well, first, yes he picks out mismatches. It's impossible for LSU QBs to pick out mismatches because our OC never uses them.
Oregon runs a two-read, high paced offense. Basically, all their passing plays use one side line route and one route across the defense. Thomas simply watches the safety. If the safety moves to the sideline route, he looks to throw the route moving across the LBs. If the safety moves up, he looks to throw to the sideline. If neither is open, he takes off.
It works so well because Oregon's pace doesn't allow the defense to adjust to these routes between plays. Therefore, if a defense is in a Cover Two over, the route across the middle is going to almost always be open because Pac-10 LBers can't cover Oregon's receivers. Once that safeties decides to cheat up to jump that over the middle route, Thomas can kill them on the sideline.
It's not rocket science, but it's a perfect example of how a coach can put his players in a position to succeed.

So in your opinion, reading defenses and seeing through coverage is not necessary for a QB at LSU.
