LSU seems to have hit on some QB recruits lately. Did you LSU fans expect him to be the QB of the future before yesterday? (yes, I am trying to distract myself from IB)

Yes, he easily won the backup role in Spring and was cemented in as the QB of the future. He has the ability to run but what they say is most impressive is a high football IQ and quick decision making ability. I like the fact that he can move but isn't a "run first" QB. Cameron is the real difference for us though, amazing what you can do when you have a real offensive coordinator. Good luck today.

High hopes for a solid career for Anthony. That was one drive by a QB Arky did not prepare for. Everyone loves the backup QB then dog his every move when he's the starter. We will miss Mettt's passinng skills and his ability to see over the line since he's like 9 feet tall. AJ brings a different element, one that would have been beneficial in certain games this year. He has a lot of talent, but I hope LSU fans will be patient with his development going forward. That one drive is the extent of meaningful playing time this year. I'm not sure exactly what "QB of the future" really means, but yesterday helped his confidence for sure.

Yeah, we have been excited about him.

Did I think he would come in and execute 99 yard drive for a game winning TD on his first series? No.

But we knew he would be solid.

Pretty sure we have expected him to win six Heismans since September.

Yes, Jennings clearly won the back-up QB spot in the Spring. He signed with LSU last December and enrolled in January foregoing his SR Spring semester in High School. He was targeted early on to be Mett's successor. He has shown great leadership since the very first day he enrolled at LSU.

Yes, he was the anointed one after Spring practice (6 heismans). Expected to start next year but there will be stiff competition from Brandon Harris, who has better physical tools IMO but not as cerebral as Jennings appears to be.

He looked good, but it was also Arkansas.

His mobility is what has me excited. I love Mett, but he is a goddamn statue.

He reminds people of RGIII and Russel Wilson -- especially with the smarts, poise, maturity and leadership qualities. He's gonna keep DC's up very late at night the next few years.

Perilloux had as much potential as any QB here that I'd seen for a very long time...maybe Jennings is that guy (without the getting in trouble part).

Solid??? Pfftt... The tiger rant in all its wisdom has him as Vick, Montana, Elway, Brees, JFF, Boyd, pissed off football cyborg robot/Jesus.

You guys are soooo fricked!

Jennings was expected to be very good, and Brandon Harris (early enrollee '14) is expected to be as good as Jennings. He'll challenge for the QB spot in the future.

Yes-We've heard a lot of really good things about him. Those who've seen him practice have said that he is a very special QB.

Starting next year, LSU might finally have the upper hand on you guys.

yes. we are known to be in love with the backup quarterback until he steps on the field. fortunately AJ was a boss yesterday. hopefully he will continue to work hard and improve. certainly like the way things started.

Out of high school he was a 4.0 student and a high recruit. He was hurt some by an injury his junior year recruiting wise. If he can maintain pocket presence and deliver an accurate ball, he will be great at LSU. He wasn't really a run first guy in high school and only used his scrambling ability when needed. If he can learn to progress through his reads and become an accurate passer (one of his deficiencies noted during the summer), he has a chance to be special. I think last night validated that he has that "it" factor to him. Having Cam tutor him gives LSU fans something to really look forward too.

Dude is a baller no doubt. Yesterday could be the start of quite a career for him.
