Amazing that any head coach would devalue the QB position this day in age.

We've been the the national championship game in that time without none. So i can see where it isn't as important.

I mean you had Bo last year, where did you finish in the west?

Why do you people keep comparing a perennial top 10 program to one that went 0-8 in the SEC 3 years ago and hasn't won shite in over 50 years?

I think more of an emphasis will be placed on the position. Harris will be a good one, but at this point he is not ready.

You're a terrible troll & we're supposed to believe you wanted a serious discussion?

This topic has been beaten to death by none other than Ode Miss fans. If you don't get it by now, kill yourself.

What do you think about this work of art from Mr. demtigers73

Re: thread "Ole Miss question"

(FOOTBALL) Ole Piss fans who claim LSU is a bigger rivalry than State are frickin liars or in denial! I have/had several family members who played and graduated from State! There is no comparison! If State goes 1-6 in SEC and wins egg bowl, everything is good! If LSU goes 1-6 and beats Ole Piss that just aint gonna cut it! Arkansas for the Golden Boot used to be a big game and Ole Piss, but now all of them are big games becasue if we aint winning, we got problems!

Gonna try to answer the question without feeding the obvious troll parts-
Yes, QB recruiting has been rough on LSU. And for everyone that keeps bringing up Mett, we developed him, but did not recruit him.

Pretty easy answer: against premier defenses such as Florida and Alabama would field, a decent mobile guy is better than a good dropback guy. Your O-line is not going to be able to protect the pocket all game, not when every other position is an even matchup. The mobile QB can roll or scramble and ruin an otherwise perfectly defended play.
Go look at Jordan Jefferson's overall career against Alabama, who was at that point playing at extremely high levels. Moved the ball well in a tight game at Bama in 2009, got a win in 2010, his running the option was the only offense we had in the 2011 win. Was he a good QB? Not by the eye test. But he was able to keep the defense honest enough. Mett was a far better QB, and 2012 showed if he had time he could produce; but 2013 showed if the line broke down he was dead in the water. 2011 game at Bama showed the same with Lee, the same game Jefferson was able to run the team to a win.

Add to that, La doesn't produce dropback QBs anymore, they're usu the best athletes. Look at LSU right now, Harris is clearly a great athlete. More to the point, Diarse and Magee were also high school QBs. Those types of guys are the ones you have to pick and choose from, locally (where you have the best chance of signing a guy as developmental depth).

Because LSU does't get every Manning who wants to play football to go there and would like to learn more about taking transfers from Texas and Oregon and JUCO transfers and making them into starters between Mannings.

7 years of shitty QB play should be unforgivable at an institution with the allure of LSU.


And yet LSU still has a winning record against Ole Miss in those 7 years. I think 4-3.
