re: Rewatching our offense with Jordan Jefferson at the helm

FIFY

Jefferson was our only option to win a 60 minute game vs Bama, and that’s all that really mattered.

Lee was given 2 opportunities in ‘11 to win the job at AL. They gave him best case scenario on both occasions. They called 1st down passes, and Lee literally threw INT’s to the only double covered WR on both plays.

Jefferson was our only chance to win, and we did. But it was never going to happen a 2nd time around. It would have had to be Mett in the NC game, which took Miles and Cameron 2 years to develop into a 3 loss season QB w 2 All Pro WRs w 1st round RB, and they had a month to install it.

The QB position and Les Miles will live in infamy.

Les thwarted any development Jefferson, Lee, Jennings, and Harris could have made throughout their careers with his anemic scheme. I don’t blame them one bit. People that blame these kids and used to say LSU could never find a QB are just stupid. That’s like someone who has been divorced four times saying it’s always the other person.

You can down vote all you want, Jordan had problems.

Passing was not that good, timing was off, and he could never let the last play go; good or bad.

He had talent, I do think the coaching staff needed to do what the old Notre Dame coach did; dance lessons to teach timing.


Do not talk of play calling back in those days, that was what everyone playing back then, including Bama.

I do wonder if he would have made an outstanding wr.


He is no where near the worst we had at Qb, just a serviceable middle of the pack qb.

Jefferson suffered in a severely restrained offense. It was all Miles.

The offense looked better in 2011 against cupcakes with Lee, so it fostered an artificial controversy.

Jefferson couldn't throw with touch. Lee floated too many off his back foot. Jefferson had a painfully slow release. Lee got scared in the pocket.

The only reason Jefferson kept getting the nod over Lee is his ability to run when the play broke down. And with the terrible offense Miles established, the play was inevitably going to break down.

Neither QB had any business leading this team. Blame Perrilloux for that.

After Lee's abysmal 08 Freshman year, Miles got scared and handcuffed the offense. He also hid Lee, which probably broke the kid psychologically.It was apparently a philosophy change that he couldn't shake.

I think he had potential to be better. The play calling did smell. They continually called passing plays he was not very good at.

Les Miles was the problem. Jefferson would have been better under last year’s offense.

JJ was the worst college QB I’ve ever seen at a major D1 program. He was invited to the NFL combine and was graded not only the worst QB there, but the worst PLAYER rating overall.

He wasn't invited to the combine to be evaluated, he was brought in to throw to the wrs. He didn't workout with the qbs or anyone else.

Brandon Harris was way better then Jefferson, but anthony Jennings is the worst of all, by far.

really, Lee was psychologically broken? He had a very good senior year in 2011:

104-167
62.3%
1306 yards
7.8 ypa
14 TD
3 INT
152.0 rating (best in the SEC)
