NFL.com: Jordan Jefferson Draft projection: Fifth round, impressed at Combine

He had 4 TD's going into the cotton bowl. He almost doubled his season total in that game thanks to Terrence Tolliver. And he had a couple passing TD's in the opener against UNC too. Patrick Peterson probably won LSU more games that year than JJ did.

And if he was even a remotely productive QB, his numbers would be way higher. But no, he was not even remotely productive QB. I don't see how you could defend a guy who couldn't get a single 1st down against UGA and pretty much had the same result against Bama.

 

Tap, forget the LSUTyga73 kid. Born 11-8-88 attended LSU 07-09. Just more of generation hate. You know the type.

 

So older folks like Jordan Jefferson? That's pretty funny, because I've been going to LSU games for the past 4 years and have openly witnessed the pain of both QBs but only of them has manned up about it and taken responsibility. That QB is the one I support in his post-LSU years.

 

For the record. His stats his Jr, and Sr year

2009 was his best year. By far.

 

so he just got worse as a qb. :huh:

 

My opinion is that our coaching staff drilled it into JJ's head to "take the sack" and be cautious with the football rather than repeat the plethora of pick 6's and INTs from Lee's freshman year. With the QB position having to make that split decision whether to let it fly, I think it caused JJ to regress a bit in listening to the coaches rather than trusting his instincts. However, that style of play from our QB (don't give the game away) resulted in a lot of wins so can't really complain.

When you also factor in our overly negative fanbase (at times), JJ may not have been mentally tough enough to just simply forget all of the distractions and simply play. I think he cared too much about what people thought of him.

 

As long as Les Miles is coaching JJ is the kind of quarterback he is looking for. He is looking for the athlete not a QB that can think and run an offense.

 

Well you are wrong there because JJ can't think. His problem has never been his athleticism, it has been reading defenses and going to his 2nd, 3rd,&4th receiver. JJ missed a lot of receivers streaking wide open down the field and a good qb would have found them and made the defense pay. Many defenses gambled with us because they never respected JJ, and knew he would run if the first guy was covered. People stacked the LOS with us and we still had a great running offense. Imagine what could have been if we could have thrown the ball down the field....oh wait we do know, it was that guy who played the first 8 games.
