Next headline: Jordan Davis to Transfer....

It's called competition.

I played three seasons. 3rd team to start my first year on the team, moved to back-up by mid season. Then each of the next two years, a JC QB was brought in challenging me for the back-up job. I never thought about transferring out, but my situation was way different than Jordan.

Hell I can see where 6-6 is a good year. UGA, Boise, App St, GaSo and stAte will all be favored.

Hud and company have their work cut out for them. If we stay healthy... and dramatically improve in every facet of the game over last year... we might be ok.

J1M...IMO, you've been right on track to criticize the play calling, especially last season. I wish I had more confidence in our new play caller, only time will tell. I do believe we had a very good guy with JJ, but don't think he was given as much freedom last season, not only with play calling but with player personnel decisions.

HC have big egos, but Hud is no fool and I believe/hope he will loosen the reigns and let his coaches, coach. Last year gave him a big serving of humble pie!

Geaux Cajuns!

This will be a horrible thing for the program if he is our starting quarterback. Jennings was in the bottom 4-5 quarterbacks in the country in passing percentage while at LSU. His completion percentages were awful, less than 50%. Doesn't matter if it was the NFL, SEC or the ACC. He was among the worst in the country.

If Jordan Davis isn't ready to be our quarterback then we have much deeper issues that Jennings isn't the solution to. A bad move in my opinion.

Go look at Cody Sokol and Jeff driskel's numbers before getting to latech to an offense that fit them. I'm not saying Jennings will be that good but les miles isn't exactly a QB guru... Give the guy a chance.

Jay probably got fed up with being overruled by Hud, and you usually run the ship aground when two captains fight for control of the wheel. Hud needs to run the big picture and let Munoz and MD coordinate play selection and basic offensive operations. We can only hope that Hud didn't somehow convince himself that last year's issues had little to do with how poorly he operated the talent. There were other issues... but stupid people can't look at 10 mistakes and not focus on the one that exonerates them. There's a full pot of crap about last year's offense. And 7 out of 10 servings were coaching based.

But no matter the offense you have to be able to complete passes if you're a quarterback. He can't do that at a respectable rate. He routinely overshoots screens and those of less than 10 yards. I just think he has an accuracy problem and we need someone who can complete passes at a high rate. He's not that guy.

LSU has no passing game other than deep wideouts. You can't look at their QB stats and evaluate their QBs. Seriously... LSU barely uses slot receivers or TEs in their passing attack. A lot of Hud UL QB stats are skewed by 2 to 5 yard easy completions that go for "15 yard receptions.". It's pretty easy to have high completion percentages with short tosses. LSU QBs only get to fire it downfield.

Well then Jordan Davis will beat him out and we will have a senior backup who played in the sec with 13 starts instead of a RS freshman who has never taken a snap in a college football game.if he beats out davis then he is better.There is no downside to this. Like I said give the guy a chance. He was in an offense that didn't fit his skill set with a 100k of his own fans cheering when he got hurt.

That's your opinion, good for you. IMO, he brings a more experienced portfolio to a position on our team than needs it most. You can't discount experience at the QB position. JD did not show signs of being ready to lead this team during the spring game. He looked anxious cuz I don't believe the game has slowed down enough for him. Weaver looked more poised. He could be our guy next season, but I see a 1/2 season learning curve for him if he was given the ball this season.

AJ did not play in a O system that fit his skill set. Watch the game he started against Alabama on YouTube....he was harassed nearly every play. He played very well. He had 4-5 balls dropped that could have changed the outcome of the game. He's not the second coming, but he gives us another option at the most important position on the team that provides a critical element we currently don't have....experience.

Jennings has looked bad. But he's also looked unstoppable. I've never been impressed, however, with LSU's QB coaching. And again, they don't give QBs the options most spread offenses do.

I believe he will thrive here!
