I agree with this statement. I dislike the idea of settling for average production if we could have better though... there might not have be any other choices for the next 2 years though.

I have admitted that the overvaluing of the QB might be true. Might be true is not the same as completely true. That point is somewhat relative too. I don't know of a way to quantify what is overvaluing vs. appropriate valuing.
So you agree that there is no reason not to pursue elite QB production over average-good QB production?

"Just saying, if your goal is to win championships, we've done it with Matt Mauck, Matt Flynn, Jordan Jefferson, and Jarrett Lee.
We've missed on a championship with Jamarcus Russell and Zach Mettenberger. Ryan Perrilloux couldnt last longmenough to be a starting QB. And even though we won the SEC in 2001, Davey didn't play in that game. "
The implication you are making is that we have managed to win championships when we didn't have our considered elite quarterbacks. Therefore, elite quarterbacks are not needed to win is what you are implying.
This might be true, that elite QBs are not necessary to win titles. However, better QB play would certainly contribute to a better outcome and I would even't call 2014 average at QB.
Saying the quarterback position has been overvalued at LSU might have some truth to it, due to lacking at the position over the years. However, the perception when you post quotes like the above is that we will somehow be more likely to win with less then elite quarterback play. That good to average is somehow advantageous to LSU over elite.
Just stating what it seems like you are implying.
Do you agree that last year's QB performance was a significant factor in some our losses? Not saying its the only factor. If not what would you say were the most significant factors?

The above is a logical fallacy. Just because the QBs that LSU has had in the past that have allowed us to win championships weren't "great" (of course great is a subjective definition, but I’ll assume we’re referring to statistical production), it doesn't mean that having a "good/okay”, but not “great” QB, somehow enhances chances of success. Also, just because in the past when we’ve “great” QBs and we have failed to win a championship, it doesn’t mean that having a “great” QB is somehow a detriment to the chances of success.
