See, that's funny, because when I pull up his recruiting profile, Zach had scholarship offers from Alabama, Arizona, and Iowa State coming out of JUCO. If he wasn't recruited, then why on earth did he choose to sign his LOI with LSU?

I disagree, but ok...who do you give credit to for Mett coming to LSU?? I am not the recruiting buff some are, but didn't he have a lot of options out of that Jr. College NCG??

Are you really dumb enough to think Miles doesn't realize by now that he's going to be the LSU coach as long as he wants to regardless of what happens?
Then I see that some people actually agree with you. I stand corrected.

Every other year it was at leastadequate.
Ugh... now I have to actually reply in this retarded arse thread.
this program consistently puts studs in the NFL at damn near every other position. Every year for damn near the last decade I watch our competitors put very good, sometimes elite QB's on the field. Teams that we consistently out recruit, teams that don't have the overall draw of this LSU football program.
frick adequate QB play year in and year out!! (Not that we have seen even that aside from one season) LSU is an elite program with a recurring and debilitating QB problem. Each season provides a new excuse or reason and we blunder on with a painfully bad, unprepared and under developed guy at the most important position on the field. LSU gets FAR above "adequate" performance everywhere but here.
Something is broken. It isn't bad luck or misfortune that can be explained away with what ifs, losses to MLB or if only RP would have stayed out of trouble.
If some people are cool with an "adequate" 7-5 football program fine. Unless we can start getting GOOD play under center NOW thats where we are headed. Adequacy.
My opinion means nothing but it is mine none the less.
BH has the physical tools to be great, Franks certainly appears to as well. As far as I'm concerned if we are crossing our fingers for adequate QB play again next season Miles and Cameron both need to GTFO!

Please provide the name of the program, type of offense ran by said program, name of the quarterback, and how many years said quarterback has played at the collegiate level.
Vague and general statements really serve no purpose. kthanx

What is clearly apparent is that many LSU fans, myself included, aren't confident that there will be a fair QB battle between AJ and BH. Rather most believe AJ will start no matter what happens. This is not totally unfounded as we saw this played out before between JJ and JL.
I strongly disagree.

No, it really doesn't. I believe some of what he says and think some of it is bullshite, and it hasn't made one iota of difference whether I did or didn't believe him.

I wish Miles would realize this and clearly demonstrate that whoever starts is the best QB.
How? What if he started the other QB for a meaningful game and he really stunk it up? Would that convince everyone that the regular starter was really the better QB?

The idiots are multiplying!
Yes, he can surely slip into mediocrity and only win 6-8 games a year and keep his job FOREVER!

If Les knew how good Mett was going to be, why was he not recruited as a freshman? A quick search showed that LSU was not even named as a possible selection in his recruitment. Georgia, Alabama, Florida State, Florida, and Boston College all saw the potential. Lsu recruited Chris Garrett and Russell Shepard, and we all know how that worked out.

well at least they you cant be called a racist this time for wanting the better qb to play

Our recruiting classes are amazing. There is a ton of expectation surrounding this team. The press has us at least in the top 15 or better. They believe in LSU more than fans like you do.
I'd argue that, with our top recruiting classes, we should consistently be a top 5 team. The fact that we're top 15 in the polls actually says the press doesn't believe in us.
By the way, I think polls are absolutely silly, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

The idiotic replies attempting to denigrate shows I hit this dead on. We know it's true and we just don't want to deal with it so we just attack the messenger. Well, it won't change the reality of the situation. Only good judgment and leadership. I hope Miles realizes it's on him to address this satisfactorily or we will hear a lot of boos in the 1st half and more empty stadium seats in the 2nd. Now grow up, rantards, and deal with the truth.

Mett was from Ga. and if I recall right, one of his parents worked for Ga. football. Meaning, the guy grew up around the Ga. program. I don't think anyone seriously thought Mett was going any place but Ga.
Might be a lot of reasons to blame Miles for stuff, but this isn't one. imo

quote:It's an even more defined argument than that. Miles will of course start the QB who he genuinely believes is the best QB. The problem is Miles definition of best and who give us the most chances of winning, isn't necessarily the same as the fans definition. Miles wants a game manager and someone who doesn't make any mistakes- effectively a QB playing in handcuffs- the fans want a gunslinger, a dynamic player, a playmaker who pushes the ball down the field.
Wrong. Maybe some on TD and your other 14 year old friends are convinced of this. You are an absolute IDIOT if you think Miles will not start whoever gives LSU the best chance to win.

I'm no Miles-lover, but this is wrong. Miles gets credit for landing Mett out of JUCO. He identified the talent and went and got him. Got to give credit where it's due.
And Mett's mom works at the UGA football office, so the possibility of signing Mett out of high school was a very long shot.

And you'd be as wrong as you were when you likely felt the same way about Russel and Flynn or Jefferson and Lee.
The REAL issue is that fans almost NEVER accept that coaches make decisions based on what they think will benefit the team and, despite conspiracy theories to the contrary, don't do things for the purpose of ruining the program. In short...Miles (like the munchkin that roamed the LSU sidelines before him) will play the QB he feels gives the team the best chance of winning and won't be taking a fricking poll as to what the fans think he ought to fricking do.
Nothing says you need to agree with him, but to pretend that he, or all other coaches, arrive at that decision "unfairly" sounds like talk that ought to be reserved for soccer moms upset that Braydon doesn't get enough PT at the local rec center.

So you think Miles did not have a fair QB battle between Jefferson and Lee?
I wasn't in the team practices and didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, so I obviously don't know the full answer to your question. But I do notice one thing.
Can you name one time in his entire career at LSU that Jordan Jefferson was ever taken out of the game and benched for poor performance? It happened to Jarrett Lee MANY times, but I don't recall a single instance of it's ever having happened with Jefferson. It's not as if either of them had any shortage of bad games while they were here, so why was one benched practically every time he made a mistake, while the other never got benched a single time in his entire career for playing badly?
I don't know the answer to that question, and certainly won't presume any illegitimate motives or intent on anyone's part, but it's certainly something that would be curious to know.
