    On the flip side you would think with all that talent on one team the team would have done better than they did.

    This was a horribly coached team. The worse in Miles tenure.

    More like good gameplanning and use of talent. It is possible that these guys had nfl talent upon arrival at LSU right? Kinda like Patrick Peterson.

    I would say absolutely not. Maybe OBJ. But the other 3 damn sure needed a few years at least to develop.

    Well sure, can we have that and a chocolate malt? We'd likely have a couple more if we had any Heisman level talent that could put his game ahead of his weed.

    I honestly think that if you took QB's out of the equation, LSU would be ahead of 'Bama on that chart. Toward that end, CLM brought one of the NFL's best at QB development in just last year. It paid immediate dividends last year, but obviously none this season. QB's aren't identical lumps of clay to be molded equally. Some take longer than others; some may never be molded.

    I think an objective criticism of CLM and his relationship with quarterbacks is he doesn't bring in the right ones for his system. We can certainly put up big rushing and passing numbers and win in this system, but we need I formation QBs, not kids who've been running the spread in high school.

    No one deny s the NFL factory we are. We just openly voice our opinion about how bad Les Miles has been at getting a serviceable QB after his leftovers from Saban.

    Again, you take the comments like a little brat.

    Did it ever occur to you that we really only talk about the only things left that Miles has to work on?

    It's not like we are talking about made up shit.

    You and your minions like to throw out facts that NO ONE DEBATES as if it makes the fact that just because Les Miles wins 10 games a year, he must be good at developing and recruiting QB's..... 10 games a year and QB performance are clearly unrelated to Les Miles success in your eyes. If they were, you would know that Les Miles is but a QB away from Nick Saban status.

    The reality is, your savior (Les Miles) could really be glorified in a damned statue one day if he just pulled his head out of his ass and got a QB that fit his system.

    He needs to stop recruiting squares for his circles.

    Some would argue that Miles just has tough luck with heisman level talent putting his game ahead of weed...

    How many LSU fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 1 million, 1 to screw in the bulb and 999,999 to bitch and complain how it sort of works but that it isn't bright enough.
