Why are people putting this loss on JD?

Look, JD is not a great QB and I do feel like he limits us in explosive plays downfield. But, he’s good enough to win games. The fumble was a huge setback in the game, but what was more egregious to me was how our front 7 on defense got handled.

I’m sorry, but you can’t allow 274 yards rushing at 5.5ypc and a 3rd down conversion rate of 67% and expect to win against anyone.

Imagine someone telling you before the game that A&M was going to line up under center, in the I-Formation and put up 274 yards rushing and 31 offensive points on your defense. Would your response be “This is the QBs fault.”

Truth be told 24 points should have been enough to win this game. We allowed A&M to match their season high in offensive points. They also scored 31 offensive points on Sam Houston in week 1. The defense just didn’t show up.

The whole team sucked it up.

The defense has bailed him out when he’s played like absolute shite several times this year. When they needed him to step up after they forced two 3 and outs in a row and took the momentum he fumbled the game away. Also bounced it to a wide open Bech on 3rd down the following drive and threw the ball 5 rows deep to a wide open Emery that would’ve walked in for a TD. His bad play was a very large part of why we lost and no amount of spin or deflection will change that fact.

I think people are tired of seeing the way he plays. It’s just obvious that he can make plays with his legs but in the long run we’re no contender as long as he’s back there

Did you watch that game at all?

I saw a defense get routinely shredded by an antiquated offense on their way to allowing 31 points against a team who's struggled to even score 20 this year.

ayden brought us as far as he’s capable of. He’s extremely limited as a passer

As far as 20 yds+, yes. He's limited. But Joe Burrow was Danny Etling 2.0 when he arrived according to the rant.

I get that JD was a 3 year starter before he came here. But, did he have a mentor to guide him to be better those 3 years, or did he have a coach who told him to tuck and run if his first read wasn't there?

The strides he's made from Fla St to now is phenomenal.

If CBK demands he does an off-season of 10,000 catches like coach E and Brady pushed for, JD could become a Heisman contender.

All the reps in the world won’t fix him refusing to throw the ball. That’s a mental thing.

his play did not lose the game for LSU.

His play was a contributing factor in the loss, but wasn’t the main reason.

The fumble cost the game and he shouldn’t have even kept it. The running back option was an easy first.

That’s why BK was chewing him out. Was an obvious give and not take

I'm surprised he finished the game. Even the Aggy fans around me were stunned he was able to keep playing after two hits in particular.

Aggy QB wasn't bad, but Muhammed had gloves made of super glue. Dude was a beast.

But for everyone crapping on him, the TD drive in the 4Q at the end of the game was great. That call is going to stand next to the PP7 non-interception.
