Why does Miles get no credit for successes in the pass game, only the failures?

I can't understand why everyone bangs on Miles and says our offenses are handicapped passing wise because of him. Of our top 9 passing seasons in LSU history, 5 of those seasons came under Miles. Mett seemed to do fine under him last year and I think once Harris learns the playbook, he will be the next good one at LSU.

Coach is doing his best tko win in 2014, and I agree with his approach.

I think people greatly underestimate how hard it is to win football games in the SEC. They make it sound like a walk in the park to win in that conference.

He gets credit in other places. Just not here on the rant.

Oh the rant lol

The rant is a cesspool of bitter sidewalking and southern grown retardation.

Post jennings' stats and tell me why i should be shitting purple and gold rays of sunshine

Maybe because Mett threw for 3k yards last year and odds are jennings won't even start next year.

The Rant and most message boards attract the angry, frustrated and, largely, unknowledgeable.

Do you mean by yardage?
That's so damn misleading. You can toss out anything before about the year 2005 as appropriate for comparison because football has changed.
Passing achievements should be measured relative to other teams in current circumstances, not against Nelson Stokely and Paul Lyons.

quote:Um. Miles has been here since 2005. In that time, he's had what could be labeled a GOOD passing game 4 times. He's had what could be labeled absolutely dismal passing games 4 seasons. The other 2 that I label "mediocre" are Lee's last season and Mett's first. And let's be blunt. Once Lee was sat down, our passing game that season was an F'n joke.

He receives "credit" based on the body of work which indicates that short of having an NFL talent, we go from good to shite.

Miles' Achilles heel is clearly the passing game. That's really not arguable. No one says that means he's 100% shite.

If it is so damned self explanatory that Jennings wont start next year AND, we STILL lost at least 3 games, then what was the point of not giving the supposedly better QB experience? Now, if it's true that BH is so much better, he enters next season no more seasoned than AJ entered this one.

Right off the top of my head, I can think of Bert Jones, Rohan Davey, Mike Hillman, Alan Risher, and Mike Miley having pretty good passing seasons..
That's at least FIVE right there before Miles... so that "5 of 9" of the best passing seasons in LSU history under Miles is immediate and utter bullshite.

Because we have no passing game

6 out of his 10 years here the QB play has been below average. The only gripe most of us have is his scouting/recruiting/development of the QB position. A lot of those years, the QB position is the only position that has held back the team.
