Probation and no OC must have him on the edge. Prayers go out to Coach Krag.

Stress can play a part in making Parkinson's worse. So, Krags making his stress level a lesser amount on the football field will stop the disease from speeding up its effects.

Wow I'm so relieved to know that a bunch of half-witted fools on a message board with no personal knowledge of the situation (let alone of medicine probably) feel comfortable diagnosing the personal situation of a man from behind a computer.

And they say civility and sportsmanship are dead.

How long has it been since y'all didn't absolutely suck on offense? Point is, it won't change this year, especially not as long as Jordan Jefferson is the QB.

And your continued name-calling has yet to cease.

Honestly, I would wait for one game to go by before I said this. You could be right, but you could also be wrong. I haven't been following this thread, so you could be just trolling.

If LSU wins the SEC, this board will be funny.

been a few years.

and yet despite a terrible QB and offense ranked in the 100s we still finished 11-2 last year

that tells me how good our program actually is. if LSU ever puts it all together in one season (offense/defense/special teams/coaching/QB) nobody will be able to touch us.

You usually have a 3-5 year honeymoon period where it is easily controlled, especially if you are diagnosed pretty young. If it is tremor-predominant, it's harder to treat but progresses more slowly. The stiff-rigid people are usually older at diagnosis, easier to treat early on, and progress more rapidly. Unless he is financially set, I don't see why he would quit with a new diagnosis at a relatively young age. There are a lot of other diseases that are sometimes lumped in with PD (Shy-Drager, PSP, CBGD, etc.). Those are sometimes worse but, still, it takes a while to develop a lot of disability. Hope he does well.

Sounds like you have some experience with this. Prayers sent to whomever you know that has this, it's a horrible disease from what I've read.

Yup, at the beginning of 2010, a genius (on this very board) told me that Jordan Jefferson would have a great year. He also told me Greg Robinson was an LSU lock and that Auburn didn't have a chance. Sorry I think LSU's offense won't improved much, if at all. I'm not the only one who feels this way.

BTW, that "genius" was you.

This sucks for LSU, but I don't think it's going to have as bad of an impact as some think it will. From my understanding, Krag was brought in to simplify the offense and to raise JJ's play at QB. I think these two goals can still be accomplished with him at QB coach.

There's one thing, and one thing only that we need for the offense to improve from last year. And that's better QB play.

The offensive philosophy was never going to change much, if at all, besides more play action and going deep two or three times a game.

Krags was hired to mainly come in and mop up the quarterback mess. And, from what we've heard this offseason, he's really improved Jefferson on footwork and decision-making. Since he's staying on in that capacity for the whole season, I don't think it's unreasonable to think we'll improve a lot on offense.

Me either. I didn't think there would be a massive improvement in the first place. I've said it over and over again, though - If Mettenberger starts, he'll fix LSU's offense. Jarret "Pick 6" Lee and Jordan Jefferson are pretty much 2 of the worst QBs in the SEC and nation.
