    Did I hear it wrong? Les said to the media that if he fortunately has Cam Newton in his team, he would have made Cam Newton the 3rd QB??! What is he thinking? :eek: I really have no idea what Les means by that.

    Out of context.

    He was asked who would be the scout QB in practice, so who would be the "Cam Newton" on the team, for the defense to prepare for.

    In Les Miles speak, he said that it would be "our 3rd QB." I took it as Shepard.

    Also, if that is what he meant, would you really expect Miles to trash his own QBs and say "Oh MAN! I wish we had that guy instead of the two crappy ass QBs we have now! We'd be MADE!"

    I doubt its Shep. Probably McCarthy, maybe Bailey.

    he said if cam was at lsu, he would be the third of a 3 quarterback system. like all three quarterbacks would get playing time in a game.

    If I were a qb recruit Like mett (ex ga qb) I would not come to lsu until jj is gone. No other qb has a fair shake as long as miles and jj are best friends

    whistling past the graveyard. That's just Les trying to avoid being disrespectful to his current players .... which is a good thing.

    Cam Newton would dominate the starting QB position at any SEC program you can name .... and no, it's not a debate.

    I certainly have questions about why JJ gets so much playing time as well.

    Les is a coach that just doesn't make fast changes. Hopefully this game will allow Lee to make an unquestionable case that he should be the starter to Les, although he has already made that case to most Tiger fans.

    He said Cam would be the 3rd scholarship QB at LSU. In the very next sentence he said that Cam Newton would be the starting QB at every college program in the country.

    maybe he just said that to give his guys confidence. Seriously everyone just needs to stop taking Miles so literally. He is 99.9% head games. The sooner you realize that, the more sane you will be.
