re: Will Jordan Jefferson be one of LSU great QBs?

Jefferson showed the potential to be very good when he got his shot. A lot of people hate to say it, but Lee did too. I'm not going to try and add my two cents to that discussion, so I'm going to end that there.

The thing I liked most about Jefferson when watching him was besides his measurables(tall, rocket arm, etc) was his ability to check off the reciever as a true freshman. Whether designed or not, that's not seen too often. I like to think it's on purpose that he also seems to have a knack for putting the ball in the perfect spot in respect to the reciever having a chance and the DB not having a shot. (The Ole Miss Toliver TD, the Dickson TD against Arky, The Chris Mitchell pass on the first drive against GT).

However, if he's going to become one of LSU's great QB's, as he certainly can, he definately needs to improve in aspects. His mechanics last season definately needed some work. If hes going to become one of LSU's great QB's, it's not going to simply happen after next year. The most improvement I'd like to see next season is his improvement on the short screen routes. The recieving corp next year has a lot of potential with YAC ability with Toliver as a guy in the main rotation, Randle, and possibly even Shepard. It looked to me with Jefferson's long release and I guess general timing, the screen plays were a bust. If you look back to 07, a huge part of the offense was screens. I think if Jefferson can give the reciever a chance to make a play on those routes, the offense will be given an entire other dimension and allow Jefferson's other abilities to shine.
