re: More footage from March 19 LSU Spring Practice via BBI

Well spoken! As if people who pulled for Lee as the starter would be upset if Jennings turns out to be great. How narrow minded. Herb Tyler was one of my all time favorites and he isn't near as big as Jennings. True Tiger fans, will get behind the best. Trouble is, most of us didn't feel like the best was given a fair shake. Rettig, shouldn't be sold short. And Steven Rivers, still has a few more years to battle for the starting job. With a new offensive coordinator, there is new hope. And most of us, just want the best for whoever wins the job. The key word is win. Not entitled, without truly opening up the competition. Spring game stats were very telling in what he season would hold. Anyone care to post past QB stats in these scrimmages? No! Because there argument is lost. So they make fun of people who mention them. But these are the same people getting off on a few seconds of throwing drills.

Has anyone saw a highlight where the receiver dropped a ball or the pass was off target? These small peaks at practice, are showing passes and receptions that look good. Does everyone believe all are being completed every time?

There may be some people who do beleive that... but thats not everyone.

For those of us that know what we are looking at, beleive it or not... you CAN see certain aspects of a players skill set in these drills. If those skills aren't there, then there is ZERO possibility of them translating into good performances in game time situations.

Its really not that outrageous to say the film is impressive (limited film or not). For example, at the QB position, a little bit of film tells a big story regarding a QB's throwing mechanics. If all you do is watch the few times he throws in the spring practice film, he obviously has a very quick release with a good base.

If he didn't have a good base and quick release now, he wouldn't magically turn on the switch come game time. Conversly, Just because he has those aspects in spring practice doesn't mean he will be able to instantly translate that into a game, but it does mean that there is that possibility.

You are saying a true thing! But poor mechanics were evident in years past. And made exactly no difference to the coaches. And it seems that the coaches were clueless on how to make corrections. Let's hope that these days are gone. And let us all hope that the so called play book doesn't have to be simplified because the QB was incapable of learning.

Statements like these would be hilarious if they weren't made so often and so sincerely. :sigh:
