we were resting him. unfortunately les thought you had to actually advance him a year to mature instead of simply redshirting him. we have a pretty good class it seems, not great. no lbs and no real qb. hopefully jennings can learn to read a defense.
link? we had embarrassing play for almost 8 years under les. running the wildcat would have been an improvement.
First, I have to disagree when people just dump on the QB. The passing game is much more than the QB. Passing game = QB + OL blocking + WRers running the right routes, catching the ball, and knowing when they are the hot/primary receiver + OC playcalling to help the QB succeed. The LSU QBs looked indecisive and couldn't find secondary receivers. The OL wasn't pass blocking good enough...particularly the C and RG positions. The WRers looked lost. Dural for some reason can't stand up on routes. Quinn can't catch the ball nor realizes when he is the hot receiver on blitzes. Dupre seems to block sometimes when he is the primary receiver and his slight build gets him run out of bounds a lot. And of course, the QBs have no TEs to speak of to work with. IMO, the most polished receiver is Diarse who supplanted Quinn as a starter. And of course, we have Cam Cameron who except for the A&M game called no misdirection plays the entire year. When you have a predictable offense, it makes it hard for the QB to succeed.
Soooo, the year of 2013 never happened? So when LSU set a team record for total offense and for the first time in LSU history had 2 1000+ receivers, that never occured? Really???????
We have an extra scholarship, don't we? Let's give this guy a shot. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...om&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial
Didn't see it. But he would have quite the mountain to climb to come remotely close to RS's performance. He was by far the worst QB there. I felt so sorry for the guy because it was obvious he didn't even belong in the contest. Seriously, I could have finished next to last in that competition.
For the record, the LSU QB recruiting gets a little negative bias. First, Jarrett Lee had some good offers but never could read defenses in college. Second, Ryan Perrilloux proved to me he could have been a stud QB (if you will remember, LSU doesn't win the NC without him since he had a decent game vs TN in the SEC CG...a game that Flynn was hurt for). Third, I predict the best QB since Tommy Hodson at LSU would have been Zach Lee. I saw the guy play in person twice and he was the total package....big, mobile and ran the option, accurate, quick release, looked off WRers, strong arm (now a pro baseball pitcher), intelligent (I believe he was valedictorian or maybe salutatorian), good decision making, etc. Crowton said the guy had the playbook down in literally a few days in practice. Of course what happened was the Dodgers owner for a reason (long, long story) paid $5 million for a guy slotted at $1 million. Lee's parents said he comes to LSU if all he got for being drafted was $1 million. LSU got screwed, and people can blame Miles but that would be utter nonsense...it was bad luck, pure and simple.
