How is this a negative post. Just a article I read that Jefferson is likely going to start and that mett is on his way to knowing the offense better. I'm confident JJ is going to have a good season and we might not see mett until 2012.

I don't believe in this philosophy. JJ hasn't shown consistency at all last year and has proven that he can't move the offense. I think it's in LSU best interest to have an open competition for the QB job up until week 1 of the season and Miles should select the QB who has proven through Spring, Summer, and Fall workouts and practices that he can consistently lead and move the offense to start the Oregon game. If JJ wins out based on performance then that's fine by me. However if Mett is clearly outperforming JJ and JJ still starts then that's when hell will break loose, especially if LSU drops the first game against Oregon and JJ fails to move the offense again.

Not even the golden child. Mett is the Hindu version of Tebow.

What makes any one think that this won't be the case this year or that it wasn't the case last year?

Not saying it was or it wasn't, but just trying to clarify and pointing this out b/c it's the best thing to do. Most people on here are saying JJ is a lock for the starting job which I don't think so. I really believe Miles recruited Mett to compete for the starting job and he will let them compete and win it on the field. I don't have any faith in JJ really. I believe he has reached his ceiling and all Mett needs to do is learn the offense and outperform JJ in practice and the job is his.

It's also a great opportunity to find out if Mett is ready...then he can go to JJ in the offseason and lay it out for him that Mett looks to have the job to lose.
Then he can give him a few choices of his new position....wait, is McCarthy still here?

Bad news/conflict sells.
Cops/firefighters and the such lay their life on the line 24/7 without us hearing much/anything bout it, but let one screw up or turn bad and it's news for a week/month or forever.
It is what it is..........
We have a Top 8 football program and one of the most successful coaches in LSU history running it, but some wanted him gone before/during last season cause winning at the highest rate in history wasn't good enough cause it wasn't pretty enough or fun/entertaining enough for them.
I look at the last 11/6 years of LSU football and think I surely must have died and gone to LSU football heaven, but others think of disappointment/failure/mediocrity and such.
As they say, all beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

no, but you just don't throw out everything that the bulk of the players already know. Kragthorpe is simplifying, re-working, etc., but the terminology is the same, most of the routes are probably the same, etc. Regardless of talent level, experience is a key factor, especially at QB.

I hope Mett will be good, but how many of you dumbass fans have even seen this guy throw one pass. The way some of you talk you would think he is the second coming of Payton Manning.

Basically what he is saying is that Mett is an awesome talent but im going to start Jlee and Jefferson this year because they're seniors.
no, he's saying that their experience is allowing them to perform better right now...

What Les is saying is not so much to the media or the fans as it is to LSU recruits. What he is saying is that I am loyal (to a fault) and if you come to LSU, you will come to know that loyalty. This is the genius of Les. He may cost himself a few battles with this attitude but he continues to excel in the recruiting wars because 17 and 18 year old kids want to play for a coach like this.

You read a simple and completely feasible statement from the coach then spun it to mean something bad that you made up in your own mind. The favorite myth of the small minded LSU fan that Les plays seniors over more talented underclassmen regardless of performance.

How is JJ and JL ahead of mett with a new OC and offense?
Unless, it's not a new offense..
It's not learning the actual plays that's the problem I'd guess. It's that Mett is still adjusting to the college game.
Unless Mett is clearly better (as a talent, that's undeniable) I'd like to see Jefferson start us out with Mett playing a similar (but larger) role than Lee did last year. If history tells us anything.. it's that Jefferson will stink up a game or three and Mett will have his chance to take over mid-season.
But in no way do you pull a senior QB who is winning games.. unless he's hurting the team instead of helping the team. I have a funny feeling that Mett is going to blow the spring game up and Jefferson is gonna look average.. talk about dividing the fan base again

Not that I agree with the "dumbass" part, but THIS!!!
Can we let the guy get his feet under him before we throw him under the bus much the way we did JL?

It'll be a cold day in hell if Miles thinks he can win an NC with Jefferson at QB. That guy couldn't decipher a defense if he was facing 9 guys on the field.

We had "timing and chemistry" in our offense last year. Really? I musta missed that.

While certainly not all season, the offense performed better beginning with the Bama game, for the most part, and averaged close to 35 a game if I remember the stats correctly.
