Miles' aplogists on the QB situation...

I think I'll wait on more info first.

Something fishy definitely happened, but exactly what, I don't know. I'm not sure what the ripple effects will be, the recruiting details of how the program got into this QB situation in the first place, or what it means for the cohesiveness of the team--but with that said, I seriously doubt that the loss of Garrett himself will have any significant impact on the performance of the offense in future years. I just have a really hard time believing that he was ever any good, although I admit I don't know for sure.

As for Miles's role in all this, I'm just going to give him the benefit of the doubt until the details of the story become clearer.

nice try. ripple effects are that LSU at BEST has a RS frosh in '12 who's never started a game, at worst, a fricking walkon. Recruiting details are that there a small handful of top QBs each year and LSU signed a good one last yr that is a first rnd baseball draft pick followed by a huge ? in this yrs class. You're right, the loss of the only other for sure scholarship QB on the team for '12 won't have an impact on the future of the program or offense in future years.

It's very likely that it won't.

just like having no QB didn't effect LSU the last two yrs.

Right. Anybody with less than 3 years in the program is "no QB", but you're absolutely sure that Garrett leaving is a significant loss.

How's this for believable? Garrett probably left for a good reason. I think that the fact that he's leaving the team now (voluntary or not) speaks volumes, although I'll hold off on final judgment until I hear more.

Somehow, I think that when August 2012 rolls around, I won't be the slightest bit anxious about the season and the program because Chris Garrett isn't on the roster. We'll see.

Exactly. I really do think the craziness on this board is at an all time high.

Never will you hear LSU fans say, "Man I sure am glad we have a walk on leading our team".

if we only had chris garrett, it'd be be less crazy

I just hope we don't reach for a QB this class just to have an extra body. I think we can get a good transfer or JUCO (think Mallet or Cam Newton)that could start or provide depth in 2012...depending on ZLee's situation. We must have a top HS QB recruit in the 2012 though.

I think Miles has already proven his ability with the JL, AH QB derby.

Amazing how much some folks are flipping out over a third-stringer transferring. Did you really have your hopes and dreams pinned on this kid?
