After the Jordan Jefferson era, how do you manage to have this inept a QB/passing game once again?

    That isn't the issue.

    The issue is how we have arrived at the state of affairs at QB yet again? With Cam Cameron as your OC, at that.

    I understand LSU does not have a given right to win every year. I can accept a loss. I have no issue losing. I have an issue though when you see similar mistakes and poor coaching like we have the last few seasons. I have an issue when you give away a game in the same exact way you did several games over the last few seasons. I have an issue when your team does not show up to play at the begining of several games. I also have an issue with a coach who has clock issues of some kind in damn near half the games. There is no reason LSU should look as bad as they do.

    That was his issue. He thought it was unacceptable to lose to a top-10 team or get beaten unexpectedly by an unranked team. I think that shit is part of football.

    We had five quarterbacks in the spring and three were encouraged to move on. I complained then that we were too thin to squander quarterbacks, especially both drop-back passers. The problem is not enough options at quarterback and we can blame the coaches for not managing their roster properly.

    I didn't exactly say Sims, but with a QB who can complete short and moderate high percentage passes, scramble, and manage the game well is all les miles needs to have the best season in cfb history in 2011. With the same I believe we have multiple championships and more wins under miles. With a QB les fields a bad ass team, but that is where he fails.

    I think it is a little foolish and gimmicky to chase the spread trend... Except that passing QBs are obviously basically impossible to find.

    I've been beating the QB mismanagement drum for a while, but I'm still hoping that Cameron and Jennings/Harris are the answer and that we're just taking our lumps this year. I'd feel a lot better if Miles were to come off as though he had a clue in pressers, but instead he hems, haws, and makes excuses.

    What does it matter how many QBs are on the roster. Miles will only play one anyway. Which ever one happens to be his guy.

    So is Arkansas a contender?
    Exactly! Jennings is one game away from being a junior. That shit ain't flying anymore. The problem is that LSU offensive players don't get better with time and neither does Miles offensive philosophy.

    LaSalle knew what was coming. He didn't want to be here and have to defend the situation. He didn't want to switch over to the dark side either.

    They are going to look at Harbaugh, first and foremost.

    Yes, and Harbaugh wants out as much as the 49ers want him out. So that part is taken care of. The only thing saving Harbaugh at SF is a Super Bowl win this year. And that won't be happening with Kaepernick at QB.

    Michigan wants Harbaugh about as badly as they have ever wanted a head coach.
