I bet Bama fans would feel differently if Saban failed year after year to develop a quarterback sufficiently.

Mettenberger aside (who came to us somewhat trained up by UGA), LSU has been noticeably awful at developing QBs since Jimbo Fisher (a Saban hire) moved on.

It's not just LSU fans noticing these things. We hear it over and over again in the national media and from the yokels broadcasting our games.

The main knock on Kiffin is that he takes unnecessary chances but he has actually been doing a fantastic job of calling the game lately.

Maybe we're wrong. Maybe Cam and Crowton were/are terrific at QB development.

But I'm not seeing it and I've been (for most of the last 10 years) a Miles supporter.

I give him one more year.

I don't disagree with that at all. I do think it has more to do with play calling than QB development at practice. It doesn't seem like LSU's playcalling has allowed for their QBs to find a rhythm - especially this year in big games.

Part of that I think has to do with Les' personal affinity for a ground and pound run game and having a stable of high quality backs every year.

I'm not sure anyone has an answer for that, but I do think the criticism is warranted in that area.
