Just look at 2013 numbers.
but are the 2013 numbers based on having a pro-style qb?

Braxton is anything but that. it'd take him more than a year to morph into that.

He's not going anywhere. His dad said hes staying at OSU, Urban says hes staying, JT and Cardale said hes staying and he himself said he was staying.

Well then. This is a lock. Everyone go home.

agree but Cameron has at least said that he plans on using an offense next year more geared towards the type of QB LSU has.

can't find a link but it was after the bowl game loss. Hopefully that's true.

i'd hope every OC out there has this as their plan

one thing that's interesting to me is how LSU using athletic QB's under center instead of in the gun to utilize more of the read option/power spread. Just opens up a plethora of opportunities like what Meyer's system has. Harris, and to an extent, Jennings could flourish in such a system.

Problem is LSU doesn't exactly know what kind of offense it wants to be.

was talking about this on here with someone just yesterday. It's amazing to me that Cameron thought he could plug in a sophomore QB and expect him to learn 3 and 5 step drops where you have to make reads while dropping back. A lot of guys can't even do that well at the pro level.

Jennings is not very talented and Harris was a freshman. A true freshman who apparently didn't learn the playbook. Jennings missed wide open guys all year and couldn't get past his first read before scrambling. He is not talented


You and I aren't watching the same game...

Jennings had more incompletions by WRs dropping balls than he did by just missing wide open guys.

I saw him get to his 2nd and 3rd read a lot this year.

How is it that Quinn dropped so many balls underneath and in the flat this year?? I can promise you Quinn, the slot WR on many plays this year, was not his first read.

He is talented. You don't play QB for LSU if you are just average.
