re: Lacking Confidence In The QB Situation

They finished the regular season 8-4, which proves they didn't play against many teams with superior talent. The o-line seemed to be a strength if you look at rushing yards for most of their wins. What was lacking was passing yards and touchdowns. Competition will be a little tougher each week in the SEC. We will all be watching. The original post referenced lack of confidence. There is nothing from this guy's college playing history that should make anyone confident. He may play well, but blind confidence is all that is remotely possible at this juncture.

I hope he was able to make some big strides towards becoming a better passer. I’m confident Denbrock will have a game plan based around JDs strength with his running game.
Right now it is an article of faith that the coaches chose him because he did progress. I for one say he has made huge improvements, but at the same time I am not convinced it was enough.
I hope they don't "baby" him in the playcalling. Either he can do it, or not. If can, turn him loose; that includes on the ground.

One thing to keep in mind is he's a west coast quarterback from California that has had his whole world shutdown for the last two years. His momma said he hasn't even really worked with a qb coach till this off-season. He can get better. Its not a absolute that he'll never be accurate at the qb position with the right coaching and changes to his mechanics.

I’m pretty sure you don’t know what “biased” means….

very few yards. Obviously the majority of his passes were near the line of scrimmage and there were very few explosive plays. You have to be able to throw down the field to win games often in the SEC now days.

His play and results from last year would have been heavily mocked, if he would have transferred to A&M.
Not a single fact, literally all your opinion (“bias”)
How can you have such strong opinions while being so uninformed? You can’t criticize someone when you don’t even know what you’re talking about…

Dude you keep making comments that prove you’re an idiot.
almost 2400 yards is not “lacking”
There’s actually quite a few reasons why someone would be confident in his ability…. And it is not blind confidence when you actually understand the game.

It is the exact definition of "biased", to have an affinity or aversion for something based off of desire or personal preference, rather than evidence. 10 TD/ 10 int and less than 200 yes per game will not get it done and he will see defenses like he has never seen before. He could have a great season, but there is nothing to justify that hypothesis at this point. Confidence shouldn't be based on hypotheticals or wishful thinking. That was the basis for the topic. You are the fricking idiot that is spewing ignorance. Good luck to you in the future with your sound thought processes.

Gee, if only Joe Burrow improved from 2018 to 2019.

Everyone should absolutely be compared to the best QB ever to play at LSU. We should probably never use the law of averages and discuss Lee, Jefferson, Harris, Jennings, Etling, Johnson etc. Surely he will be just like Burrow. I get the point that anything is possible and everyone hopes that the improvement is great. Once again, the whole post was about not being confident. Just not sure what could possibly make anyone confident. It doesn't appear that the coaches are all the confident either.

He was 4th in the Pac12 in yards per attempt at 7.9 YPA. 1st was 8.5. Not sure if this is obvious

Less than 200 yds per game, 10 td, and a weak conference of QBs. Still not a confidence booster in my opinion. Where is the evidence that should make anyone "confident"? Hopeful and confident are not equivalent terms. I know that all these same people would laugh at other teams that spoke of confidence based on his career so far. Because it is LSU, we should expect the "Burrow" boost and be confident.

It’s a shame that players can’t improve year to year.
You should go to practice and inform Kelly of your findings.

He obviously doesn't need my opinion to lack confidence with that position. His uncertainty concerning the starter doesn't exactly exude confidence. I will allow this same sunshine pumping without interruption after this post. I had this same conversation in the past with the same people concerning all the improvement of so many QBs. Unfortunately most did not improve much and some became worse. Can't wait to see you in New York for the Heisman ceremony with all that confidence. Last time... No one said that he couldn't improve. The confidence is what is being questioned. Still no one has spoken about what gives "CONFIDENCE". Instead we just get Burrow comparisons and what could be.

What did each of those guys have in common.
hint, it had something to do with a lawn grass eating retard that never changed his offensive philosophy to fit the talent of his team.
If Miles had been Burrow's HC, Burrows may have led the SEC in rushing and Chase led the SEC in interceptions, but not in total offense.

At least you knew you were gonna get hammered with downvotes for this dumb shite I mean hot take.

Again, any idiot can look at a few stats and act like they know what they’re talking about.
Who won the national championship last year? UGA.
So why/how did their QB average less than 200 ypg??
Who did BDJ work with after ‘18 going into ‘19 season who he credits as a big reason for his improvement…. 3DQB Tom House, same guy who JD is working with…
What more could JD do the past 2 years? He did pretty good for someone that was learning/running a brand new offense while having no protection from an O line and literally ZERO reliable receivers.
But in 2019 as a freshman, he showed what he could do when he had help and weapons he could go to, which he’ll have again this year at Lsu.
The only people lacking confidence in him are the ones looking at surface level stats that don’t understand how much goes into the Qb position. There’s a reason coaches like him, and why Tom House said he’s the most talented he’s worked with… and that reason isn’t “wishful thinking”

You do know that youre describing Denbrock, too? He went out and got JD because he didnt have the type of QB that would fit into his system. Hes planning on running 2 TE sets with the talent we have at WR, with few 4 or 5 WR sets in the playbook either
Do you really think he snagged a 3 year D1 starting QB, by NOT promising him that he would start the first game?
What should scare you is that BK still isnt convinced that JD should be named the starter over a RS freshman. with no starts under his belt, and (-45) yards rushing in his 4 games

2 qbs mean 0 qbs

710 yards 5.1 avg rush 6 rushing TD's 51 long. How many extra first downs is that? Add those 710 yards to LSu's rushing offense last year... vs -41 with 33 sacks and a long of a whopping 12 yards by Johnson
Maybe he should have transferred to the Big XII
Posted on 8/27/22 at 3:56 pm to GeauxTime9
I don’t think it’s insane tot junk he’ll be better than he was last year simply because he has played better than last year every other year of his career.
Posted on 8/27/22 at 4:00 pm to GeauxTime9
Go sit in the corner and twiddle your thumbs. The QB situation is far better this year than last. I am glad Brennan, Finley, and Johnson are gone.
LSU needs a new, fresh start at QB and I am looking forward to it. I do think both will play and I think either one is better than who started the last two years.
