JF68 is one of my biggest gripes with Malzahn, far more than QB development.  I was opposed to signing this kid from the minute they started talking about it.  At least as a QB.  He's fast, no doubt. Then sign him as an athlete. Let him return punts.  Play in the slot.  Recreate the Ontario MacKalib role. But an SEC quarterback when he's 147 pounds, 4'9" and couldn't start in JUCO, much less FSU?

If I remember correctly, didn't Gus balk at signing at first and went with Rhetts plea? Anyways, I doubt Frankin stays at QB now with Stidham, White and Woody at that position.

No doubt. And if it ends badly Malzahn has nobody to blame but himself.

I çriticize Malzahn but I have to give him credit for bringing in strong classes and making some decent hires. Just want him to succeed and hope Chip can make it happen.

One more thing.
Being old like myself and some others around here...I know there were past years where we would have been thrilled just to have half of the shit to complain about that we have today.
Just saying there have been years when we just had to play the hand we were dealt.


Such is life.

In one sense, we're LSU the last few years under Miles.  Top 10 classes every year.  Talent out the yang-yang all over the field.  But the two critical areas, play calling/scheme and QB have gone Kabo Wabo.

True, and yet AU, State and Ole Piss can beat them.

And how is it that there is this insane narrative every season building up their game with Alabama?
