I'm not downplaying the importance of good mechanics, but it's been illustrated on many occassions that a college QB can do just fine without picture perfect mechanics.
In no world is Hill and Collins anything but a good thing for LSU. Collins needs another year and Hill is a beast. By put him back there with LF and you have a NASTY backfield. Like potentially top 5 Ll time Backfield. Whatever his reason for thinking about staying, I hope it works.
On the QB question, two things: 1 - I don't care who holds the position as long as we win; 2 - I have full faith that who ever wins the QB spot will be well coached by Cam and will not be asked to do things outside of his skills set. I do think Rivers might surprise us though.
I wonder what rivers' attitude is like. I might be reading his brother wrong but he seems like an arrogant SOB. I can't see miles letting someone with and attitude take over the QB position. Especially if you believe the "conspiracy theories" out there that say JL and miles had a disagreement and then JL sits for the entire NC game along with T-bob. Grant it this is an outsider's perspective but it seems like miles is a fall in line kind of guy and if you don't like it then there is the door. Again just an observation
Rivers is actually an extremely humble religious nut southerner. He has gotten into a verbal spat with 1 NFL player and that 1 player I think better represents the characterization you just gave of Rivers. Jay Cutler. I just think Rivers is more of an emotional leader on the field than arrogant. If his brother is anything like him, I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do.
Every year I see Rivers talking trash to opposing fans. I'm pretty sure he's cussed a bunch out too. The playoff game vs Indy a couple years ago comes to mind. He's very emotional but it's just hard to see him as you described. Jay cutler is a douche though
