quote:Totally true. If RS can't complete a pass, or many passes, then how does that differ from JJ? Plus if RS can run at QB, and JJ can't really pull that off consistently or effectively, why would putting RS in at QB much more often at least not give LSU one more weapon to work with?
First if he knows JJ isn't performing well, why is he still playing him? Passing game can't be any worse with Lee...if Lee sucks, put JJ back in. Don't know why this is so difficult for Miles.....Second, if he is so reliant on JJ's running ability - then why was Shepard moved to WR? Shepard seems to be a better fit for this offense at QB then JJ.
I never understood the decision to move RS from QB to begin with, esp. given who we had (and have) in that position at the time.

Huh, say what?
Have you not been listening to him? He's repeatedly admittd that the offense and qb play has sucked. He's repeatedly said that we have to get better at the qb position. He's also repeatedly said, and anybody who knows anything at all about fb, that it's not all the qb's fault, which it isn't.
I don't know what else you want the man to say! What else can he say? When he says, "We're trying to fix it", do you think he's just spouting hot air? Do you honestly believe that he doesn't care about the problems?
People coming on this board and bitching, which is okay insofar as that's part of what it's here for, is not going to change or help the situation one iota. That's benign and inconsequential. Neither is booing the coaches and/or players during a game. That is NOT benign and it does have consequences.
Contrary to popular belief, Les Miles is NOT a dumbass stupid fricking moron who can't see the problems and refuses to address them.
If there is anybody on here who believes that Les would not put the best players on the field in order to insure the best chance of winning games, then it is they who are dumbass stupid fricking morons!
And I get sick and tired of reading the dumbass stupid fricking moronic comments that "he did not recruit any qb's or plan for this situation", etc. He did but it's not his fault that the said qb's either fricked up in life or went another way or that, like all other coaches, the ones left over haven't worked out to the best of their recruiting projections.
Just because the man doesn't say the words you want to hear, doesn't mean that he's not "leveling with the fan base"!
He can't win, no matter what he says. If he points out that receivers are dropping balls or JJ makes bad passes or that the oline causes penalties, he's throwing the players under a bus. At what point do the players bear some responsibility for the O's ineptitude?
I get as frustrated as anybody with the dumbass stupid fricking moronic playcalling from Crowton. I really have no idea what goes on between Les and Crowton so I can't comment on it but I cannot believe that Les doesn't see the o's struggles and simply refuses to do anything about it.

Miles should be given absolute credit for developing
the rest of the team. I myself have been somewhat critical of Miles in recent times but I have to ask myself and others this: why are we so venomous and angry at a man who has been responsible for an unbelievably talented young defense, perhaps the nations best special teams, and an offense that with the exception of one position, could compete for a conference title? If I'm honest with myself I have to admit the direction of the team is positive and if he gets blame for the problems he must get credit for the positives. He doesn't. Why is that?
You will never get a reply to this question - They will skip around it - answer other questions BUT NEVER ANSWER THE ACTUAL POINT THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE HERE.
Instead it will be about Entire O (not accepting that the RBs are good, O-line is improved, WRs are good , TE is good etc...)
YES the QB situation is the sucks but damn can the head man get some credit just as he gets the demerits!!
I feel bad about the other 103 players who are not the main 2 QBs who are giving their all in practice and real games and are represented here for a maximum of say 2 threads out of a thousand.

Have you not been listening to him?
Yes, I would like Les Miles to level with the fan base and tell us the truth. "I am playing JJ come hell or high water, I am not going to simplify the playbook because I am convinced this is what is going to lead LSU to its best season ever." I would like him not to say things like he did last year, that our OL was the best he's ever seen. Or like in pre-season when he hyped both our QBs and said they were both competing and very close to each other if he didn't mean it.
Things like that - that's what I call leveling with the fan base. I don't think it's too much to expect.

you are right.....but the sad part is that it does not matter.. MILES is ultimately in charge, if he can not take over is because ????

WR's have been having hands problems throughout Miles' tenure
Two most talented RBs in each of their respective seasons relegated to bench (KW and Ford)
Numerous instances of player decline rather than improvement - Tyson Jackson, Herman Johnson, etc.
Most of Miles' problems revolve not around talent but game/clock management (both play clock and game clock), play calling and overall gameplan/strategy
I am pleased to see he is now letting Chavis get more aggressive like we saw in the first year of Pellini

Chavis runs the defense just like Pelini ran his defense. On his own. Miles barely talks to his defense. Go to practice and you will see the same. I'd give him credit for staying out of their way maybe.

do you think those guys are more concerned that they're not getting enough ink on tigerdroppings.com, or do you think they're more concerned that a supremely talented team may underachieve because of the mismanagement of the offense / QB situation.

unequivocally one of the most ignorant post.
still worried about ford when you have one of the best backs in the s.e.c..
Still worried about k.w. when hester won you a n.c. Charles scott, in 2008, only had one of the best rushing years in lsu history. k.w. did play EVERY YEAR.
Tyson jackson and h. johnson declined only to be a top 5 and second round pick respectively.
most of miles problems revolve around play clock management. still stuck in 2009 are we? we have NO PROBLEMS with play clock management this year. game plan stategy, 4-0. looks like he his strategy worked in those games.
he's now letting chavis get aggressive. he held him back? he held pellini back? try different talent my friend.

It is irrelevant whether they read it or not - aren't they deserving of more praise that what is being given ?
Are we so blase that we take goodness for granted and can only bitch and moan at the misery that is there?
As fans of the team, shouldn't we take pride that there are so many players who are doing their best instead of being miserable about two or the coaches?
If as many people have deduced, the press/media/journalists read TD and use it as basis for their pieces - wouldn't it be better for them to write about the other players rather than just about two all the time?
Why not have more threads for the work that Graf is doing - let us analyze his ST work so that in addition to that single piece that was done on him a few weeks back , there will be plenty more threads about it and if there is one every day - the media (being what it is) might think it important enough and that might help make his NFL case!
If we want LSU to make a media blitz campaign for PP for heisman , why shouldn't we do our part in promoting the rest of our team?

We are frustrated because we have no Quarterback. How at LSU you can competely drop the ball on recruiting and developing a QB is beyond me? I do give him credit on getting the rest of this team together, but it will fall apart soon without a viable option at QB.
I agree with the OP but just Like any job the boss mostly looks at how few screwups you make over how many good things you do... That's just life
As for this comment I quoted, lsu has had only a handful of " great QBs" and only a few good ones

Miles is acting exactly like he did in 2008 about our defensive coordinators. Saying everything is fine, the scheme is good, etc. He's letting Crowton save face.
Crowton is out, I think that's a done deal. Miles is playing for 10 wins and will play beamer ball to get there. Lee will get his chance.. and it'll be soon
