re: Lunch with Les: Anthony Jennings to get more touches?

I wanna see them both in the game at the same time. Mett goes in motion and lines up in the slot. AJ then sweeps left and follows Mett's lead, Mett levels a LB then windmills AJ down the sideline. Heisman becomes first shared trophy.

But do you think a coach should get his backup some reps at every opportunity? Just in case his starter goes down? What about his leading candidate to start the next year who is a true freshman this year?
Yes, against UAB, Furman, and any other team that we are beating by a decent margin. I do not want to be switching quarterbacks while the game is in doubt, just to give a kid experience. Possessions are vital, and we can't throw away a possession just to give a guy game experience. Any one play can change the entire game, so we should have our best out there until victory is secured.
Now, if Jennings is better than Mett, by all means put him in the game. If there is a small set of plays that you would like to use Jennings for in certain situations, then use him. However, those plays don't need to disrupt the rhythm of your starting quarterback, and if they aren't successful then we don't need to keep forcing them.

Sorry for plowing your girl way back then.
What makes you think I am mad? TigerLee I have followed your career on here, I would think women are hard to come by for you.
Now as far as "plowing" my girlfriend. That proves you wouldn't know what to do with a woman.

Do you want Les to play any qb besides ZM in any game this season where its not a blowout and ZM isnt hurt?
Simple question.
I "want" Les to play whatever quarterback puts our offense in the best position to get a first down or touchdown on that particular play, given the specific down, distance, field position, defensive package, etc.
As long as he's doing that I don't care whether the quarterback is Mettenberger, Jennings, or freaking Brad Kragthorpe. You're the one who is fuming because Jennings was put in to run a single qb sneak.

Dude you've been angry at me ever since the JJ days... Get over it little man. Those day are over.
Fwiw I've happily married for 6 years.... Apparently she is too.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Fwiw leave past in past, don't stay mad.

I can't argue with your position. But remember Coach Cam stated Jennings can do everything Mett can do and a little bit more.

Which part of what you saw from Zach last Saturday leads you to believe he's NOT that guy?
Oh I get it, it may change during the year. .... Geeees.

OK lets leave the past in the past. Now as to the present and the future, would you like to see the QB who has won the competition and earned the backup role behind Mett become the starter next year?
Who is the best QB behind Mett?

I believe I remember Cam stating that AJ could make all the same throws Mett can. I agree we shouldn't be swapping qb's all willy nilly, but I'm also not nervous about AJ being on the field at any time.

AJ may be able to make "all the throws". AJ may be able to scramble and make LBs look foolish. AJ may be able to be a leader in the huddle.
But, AJ may not be able to match Mett on things that usually take experience: reading blitzes and adjusting blocking, reading secondary coverages, making progressions on a play when primary receiver is covered, making the heady play on when to throw it away, etc.

Against who?......a high school team in Georgia? A scout team at practice facility in scripted non pressure scrimmage?
What about Alabama or Uga or auburn or Texas am or ole miss or miss state? When things actually matter.
The only thing that makes me fume is the amount of stupid on tho board by some of our "fans".
I'm pretty sure ZM has proven all he needs to prove.
Anthony Jennings, Stephen rivers and whoever else should play when we don't want ZM to get hurt an game is in the bag.
Period.
That's just my opinion.

I have no idea.
As I've said more than once I've yet to see any qb not named Zach mettenburger take a snap that has any meaning whatsoever.
I'm not like half the kids on this board tht go all in on one player bc of some YouTube highlights.
Furthermore I don't care which one it is.

Let me add, that when Jennings gets in during "mop up" time, we need to run the offense, the entire package. None of this I formation and run the ball every play to run the clock. I'm not saying deliberately try to run up the score, but Les has a job to get Jennings ready to play, and having him just hand the ball off to the 4th and 5th string running backs isn't going to get Jennings ready. When Jennings gets in the games, he needs to be able to throw some passes and try to execute the offense.
That sounds a little like "coaches' speak" to me. If Jennings was better, I think he would be playing.

I haven't posted anything in this thread that doesn't make since, quit trying so hard to hate.

TIGRLEE are u on steroids? No one on here wants to replace Mett!!! We would like to see Jennings get some reps for next year. Man this is a rant, other people have opinions, but u are a legend in your own mine.

no, I was one of the few that didn't get caught up in that mess, I just sat back and laughed at the simpletons bickering with each other while waiting for that 4 year period to pass...

He MAY not. Or he may can. Neither you or I know. The NFL QB guru says he can do "everything" Mett can do. And if he can't how do you train him to can. Live fire.
Most of you, even TigerLee and BRAVEHEART have to agree Jennings has to be a special QB to come to LSU and win the backup role in a few months over two QBs who had been in the system at least a year before him, one of which had started at a BCS school.
Seems like some have a problem with that rather than being thrilled we have that type guy in our system. Everytime he receives compliments on here, some jump in to downplay his accomplishments. Some refuse to accept the fact he came in and earned the backup role. They want to claim it is some Miles infatuation with "dual threat" QB. Not give the guy the credit he is due.
I could be wrong but I believe both TigerLee and BRAVEHEART, among others, would not be complainingg if that freshman QB was the other freshman QB. Just my take on following them over time.
