re: What exactly do you ppl expect Crowton to do with JJ at QB

You obviously don't know who Matt Cassel is because that's a pretty bad example if you're trying to bash Jefferson.

I guess because Trent Dilfer says so on an article you found on a random google search, it makes it true, right?

The listing is accurate. However, Crowton is the offensive coordinator, and therefore he must shoulder much of the blame.

The solution is unclear because if it were, it would already be working. At a bare minimum, it seems Jefferson needs to be disciplined for his poor performances. Trying someone at least part of the time is the best way. Forget about Jordan's psyche; Matt Flynn had to sit on the bench for four long years. Jordan will get over it.

If someone else is used, it probably should be someone with scrambling ability considering how the offensive line has been underperforming.

And you think JJ will ever start at QB in the pros?

Actually I have no clue what a 19 year old is going to turn out to be, and neither do you so quit acting like you do.

You're obviously completely uneducated on Matt Cassel so I'll spell it out. He was the guy that stepped up his first year and had all of the "paid analysts" talking about trading Tom Brady away to make room for him as the next Patriots starting QB. Trent Dilfer couldn't have been further off on his prediction of Matt Cassel and that's why he's a shitty example. I don't care how great of an analyst someone is or what their qualifications are, they're never going to be right 100% of the time.

LSU needs to hire a QB coach and let Crowton just run offense. 2 years in a row the QB has not improved and looked scared back in pocket.

Maybe Lee and Jefferson are not as good as LSU fans wanted to believe the past few years? What if they are both better backup's than starters?

Jefferson is getting into stretch with defensive coordinators who can exploit his youth and inexperience. They can bring blitz from various areas on field and they will force him to make quick decisions. I do think either Lee or Jefferson can be successful but they still need alot of coaching

I made the same comment earlier in the year, but 2 things have changed since. They have gotten better and I can see much more clearly how JJ's play makes them appear worse than they are.

He holds on to the ball way too long many times.
His penchant for retreating too far back from the line of scrimmage and even further back when there's pressure, instead of stepping up into the pocket, makes the defensive rushers job even easier and the O-Line's job that much harder.

I was watching an NFL analyst dissect the problems with J Russells play with the Oakland Raiders. He diagramed this very effectivly (Russell has the same tendency). It gives the rushers a straight line to the QB; instead of having to curl around the O-linemen the rushers just have to run past them, and the O-linemen have to run backwards vs faster forward rushing D-linemen.

Also it makes it harder for the O-line to keep track of their QB, and it's hard to protect your QB if you don't know where he's at.
