That can cover Sheppard,Tollivor,Randle,Peterson. We have too many talented WR or any one team to cover.

Does this LSU team have a quarterback that can get it to them?

The problem isn't the "talented" receivers. It's getting someone to accurately deliver the ball to said receivers.

This is said just about every year, yet most teams find a way to deal with it, whether it be zone coverage or some good man coverage. Also, are you confident Jefferson can progess through 3 or 4 reads in 1 play based his performance last year and the Oline?

I think a better question might be: what QB do WE have that can get them the ball?

Nobody has ever denied the talent we have at WR lately. We need a decisive and consistent QB, a coach that can make sure the WRs run solid routes, and an Oline that wont fold like a lawn chair... among other things.

If a high school QB can get it to his recievers then a college QB should be able. I mean what QB wouldn't be overly happy with that he has to work with this year with LSU

I hate to say it, but its not that simple.

Teams like Bama will man up and blitz, a good blitzing team only asks their dbs to be able to hold their man for a short time. Other teams will run zone defenses and beating a zone defense really comes down to the QB and his reads.

Like stated above, we have talent at the skill positions, but QB and OLine are just as important in getting those guys the football

HINT: There are only 2 conerbacks on the field at a time in football.

Bingo.

Also what are the chances we develope any semblance of a deep vertical passing game. I'm not saying throw "go" (or 9) routes every other play, but it would be nice to actually see what tall straight-line speed WR's could actually do if given the chance once in a while
