If Youth and Inexperience Cause LSU WRs to Underperform...

Thinkin they'll step up to the Poulan Weedeater Bowl this season!

All I'm saying is that I don't buy the youth and inexperience excuse for our receivers' lackluster performances.

And I don't care what the system is and who the opponents are. Those numbers for Crabtree are staggering. 17 TDs?! A freshman?!

 

The sky is always falling with you. It would be impossible to know we're 6-1 and ranked 4th in the BCS by reading all your posts.

We don't have the best player in college football at every position. You can find RBs that have much more yards than ours. Other QBs have better numbers than ours. You can look at every position and find someone on another team who is probably playing better than our starter. But why bother?

Kind of silly to do so...

 

I don't think that's all you're saying at all, but what would you have us believe our receivers' lack-luster performances are due to? Lemme guess.. it's MF's fault? They should have RP passing?

Doesn't matter if you care or not. It's no less true that the level of the competition has everything to do with it... everything.

 

Here is a list of LSU recievers who have caught 17 or more TDs in a season:

Hmmm, I guess we should turn in every conference Title, and MNC we've ever won. None of the receiver in our History have had a season like the Texas Tech guy. Maybe we should disband the team. We're obviously doomed to never be worth a chit. Let's tear down Tiger Stadium, if we can't keep up with a gimmick offense in a weak conference, we don't deserve to exist.</sarcasm>

 

ABSOLUTELY NOT...THAT SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK IN THE SEC. Hell, it does'nt even work in the Big 12 as soon as they play a decent defense. It is simply never an option fo a decent SEC team....period. Hard to play pitch and catch when linebackers and safeties are taking your head off, not to mention the corners that never get out of your back pocket.
See Kentucky with Tim Couch.

 

I suspect that youth and inexperience is a large part of TC's mediocre performance as a poster.

 

Ok, so what is your point? What do you 'buy'?

 

Stay tuned:

Most of y'all are putting words in my mouth. I didn't say I want a different system or a different offense or anything like that.

And the sky is not falling with me. I understand exactly where LSU is and exactly where they can go if they play well for the rest of the season.

But when I see Jacob Hester being interviewed on WBRZ TV Baton Rouge, and when I read Matt Flynn's quotes in The Advocate, both of them saying that youth and inexperience have caused the WRs to drop passes, run the wrong routes, and line up wrong, I've got to call horespuck on that because it sounds like they've resigned themselves to those mistakes. Sounds like they're saying those foul-ups are okay and to be expected.

But they're not okay and should not be expected. Not at LSU. Not if championships are the goal.
