You all may be right, I didn't even know about the bum thumb until I watched the ESPN recording. The question that keeps running through my head is whether LSU can win an SEC championship with him. Will he understand how to manage an offense and read defenses? Can we count on him to convert those 3rd downs on crucial drives? To make the big plays in the big games, as you would expect a senior leader to do? We'll find out in 5 months, but for the moment color me very skeptical.
His biggest issue is having trouble reading the defense correctly. There is no doubt that he has the ability to make throws if he reads the defense and foretell where the pressure will come from. Besides, it's really up to his belief in himself, which has been questioned continually once he made bad decision in the past.
Miles has to get this qb stuff straight. He gets paid to produce a quality product. I want to believe he will. I was very happy he stayed and I will be very happy when he presents a quality championship team this fall. Get to work , Les, and fix this qb play now.
I think Miles will eventually come around, but it might have to take a game when a very costly error is made in the (veteran) QB play, and it costs LSU a victory. :dis:
11-2 and the most winnngst coach in LSU history is pretty quality. I think he is past I think he has earned a smidge of trust
I'll say this. If anyone was expecting an explosive offensive display during the spring game, well, that's your fault for letting minor statements such as "improved" and "making strides" be comprehended as "breaking out". It was a spring scrimmage game, nothing less, nothing more. Spring. Scrimmage. - If the LSU offense came out and lit up the LSU defense, I'd be scared to death right now. Funny though...pretty much to a man (or woman as the case may be), everyone complaining about the lack of "breaking out" by the QB is ooohing and ahhhing at our amazing secondary. Hmmmm.... - I saw minor improvements myself. A lot of people claim now that they don't expect much improvement between now and September 3rd, but seemingly expected MIRACLES over a couple of weeks of spring practice with a brand new OC/QB coach. - 144 more days...
