Youre missing the point, have you not had power, internet or new paper all week? Its been discussed and exhausted

why are you turds even here if you don't want to discuss topics that have already been discussed? Too many punks on this board. If you don't like the topic just keep your d mouth shut. Apparently the topic hasn't been exhausted if someone still wants to discuss it. Les Miles clearly has issues. We all know we can win a lot of games with his style, but we want more than a lot of wins; we want f.ing championships. Good is good enough for you; Good is not good enough for me. Yeah, I want to dominate every down, every second of every game. Screw you smart asses who have a problem with those of us who do.

of course, it's the best way to handle legit criticism of Miles, sweep it under the rug.

What aggravates me about this question is the laziness and complete lack of understanding of LSU football under Miles. He does not hate the downfield passing game. Do your research, the information is on LSUsports.net.

2005, 2006, 2007, LSU passed for 225, 250, 225 ypg respectively. What do those years have in common? 05 and 06, J Russel was our QB, eventual 1st overall pick of the NFL draft. 07 was Matt Flynn, who is still in the NFL. Next up was suppose to be Ryan Perriloux. Go look at his starts in 2007, Middle Tenn and the SEC champ game, he was 20/25 298 and 20/30 for 248, respectively. He was booted from the team, leaving us with Andrew Hatch, Jarret Lee and Jordon Jefferson, a Harvard walk on, a RS freshman and a true freshman.

Now if you believe the 250 average would not have continued under Perriloux, your a FOOL. Left with those choices(his recruiting choices-so he gets the blame), he was forced to play three guys who were not ready. In 2008, we averaged 200 ypg, and we know what happened with LEE, int for TD machine. That drastically changed our ability to throw the ball moving forward. 2009, 181 ypg(one of the worst LSU offenses in recent memory due to poor line and running game as well). 2010, 150 ypg, 2011, 150 pypg. Now what do those years have in common, some of the worst QB play in this run, save Marcus Randall. Neither of these guys are in the NFL, although Lee had a shot.

Now move forward to Sat night vs N.Texas. Mett was 19/26 192 1 TD, 1 int. 4/5 over 20 yards including on 3rd and 1, first drive, a twenty yard pass to Landry. Also not included was a long pass to R Shep for a TD that was penalized. That pass alone would have had him over 200. He was also knocked out of the game, which cost him at least a series and he came out later again before returning, which cost him more yards. He does not hate the passing game.

For the past four years he hasnt had the QBs to have an ariel assault much less an effective passing game. Now is LSU under Miles ever going to throw for 350 a game routinely? No and why should we. Bama wins just like we do, defense and power run. Now Im not going to sit here and defend his gameplay against Bama, that's not what this post is about. I'm strictly saying he doesn't hate the passing game and Im going to go out on a limb here and say we are going to avg 225/250 a game passing this year. We will be a bit more balanced, as we have a legit NFL talent guy, much like we were with the last two NFL guys we had on our team.
