UL quarterback Davis' status changed in a snap

[CajunNation]

I said it early on last season. We should have given Davis the keys and let him learn on the job. As it were, we got nothing accomplished last season.

Now, I was in favor of bringing in Jennings due to Davis still not being ready. However, if there ever was a scenario where a 2-QB system would be favorable, it would be this year. Davis STILL needs to see as many live plays as possible, yet we still need to try and win these games.

I'm guessing we'll see Jennings early, and if we get behind, expect to see Davis in relief. It will go this way until Jordan shows he is the man.

If Davis is smart, he's already figured out how much knowledge he stands to gain from Jennings.

He has zero knowledge to gain from Jennings. Both are on the field for their athletic gifts, not cerebral gifts.

Davis can only gain knowledge by playing, being coached, and review of films on what he did right and what he did wrong. Watching Jennings isn't going to do a damned thing for him.

he can learn how to work, he can learn how to watch film from him...he can learn how to prepare, he can learn how to be a leader...a lot he can learn. You keep hearing he has all the skills and tools In the world yet he still isn't the guy. Most likely the things I mentioned is what he struggles with. I doubt any of our QB's,including Broadway,have ever had to prepare like Jennings has for games.

I think you are giving LSU too much credit in their game day preparation. They win mostly on talent, pure and simple. When they play equal talent they might be .500. IMO Jennings has not done anything more than Davis except be a superior athlete surrounded by better players.

Jennings, admittedly in small glimpses that I've seen him, is a much better QB. Again, it's not close.

Ppl forget that the little things are what makes a good QB, not the talent. Vision, intuition, internal clock, decision making in crisis.. Davis is weak in all of those categories.

I have to say I am impressed that Jennings completed his bachelors degree in four years and a summer session. You see many athletes now minimizing hours so it takes five years to finish a degree. I don't know his curriculum, but it is still plenty of work so cu-do's to the young man.

EDIT: After looking at his history, it shows him being the backup for Mettenberger in the 2013 and starting the Outback Bowl in 2014 after Mettenberger's injury. If I'm adding correctly, he finished his degree in three years and a summer session. That is even more impressive.

He has prepared for and watched film on some of the best and most sound defenses in the country every single week. He has dealt with more adversity and pressure than all our QB's combined...did any of our QB's get death threats from our fans? I think you are blinded by a hate for lsu that makes you say irrational things. The kid graduated in 3.5 years and is now going for his masters, he is picking up our offense better in 5 days than the others in 5 months. Go listen to his interview with Ben Love and tell me if you think That our other QB's can't learn anything from this guy.

He'll be running an offense that suits his skill set. He'll perfect the zone read (Per Desormeaux's Guidance) and he'll be an even bigger threat to run and a more effective passer than Broadway (Jr-Yr). This only make Jordan Davis better, if he keeps his head, which I think he will.

This is the product I expect to see from AJ. His high school highlights below will closely mimic the version of him that we'll see this year as opposed to the "square block - circle hole" version at LSU.

He was coached by a pro offensive coordinator and qb Coach. They tried to force him to play in a pro set with a 5 step drop, that is not who this kid is and they should have recognized it. Anyone wants to see what he is capable of doing in our offense, go back and watch him in LSU'S bowl win he started
