2) He does have great physical potential, but his mental ability was questioned by plenty of LSU fans over the last couple of seasons. Against the 3 best defenses he saw last year (Auburn, Tennessee and Florida) he threw 4TD and 6 INTand had a low QB rating in every one of those games.
3) The multiple picks thing is important here.
4) His QB rating was nice. 3rd in the country behind Brennan and Beck. Just ahead of Tyler Palko and Jared Zabransky. How good of pros do you think those two will be?
5) He completed a high percentage of his passes last year. But see #3. He had 2 NFL #1 picks at WR to throw the ball to. Not a lot of college QB's have that luxury.

The question is expectations. Do we expect a Junior QB making his 20something start to throw all TDs and no INTs on the road in the SEC? (Did you watch the Florida game? Every INT went through the WR's hands first.)
Do we expect a Junior QB to complete 80%(?!) of his passes just to prove he is great while surrounded by other first round picks?
I really don't understand what more
legitimate expectations one could have had for Jamarcus on the field to prove he isn't bust-worthy.
Would Peyton Manning or Tom Brady been able to do better and complete 75+% of their passes as college junior QBs in the SEC? Would they have done any better on the road against Ds like Auburn and Florida? Manning consistently choked against Florida...
