We're comparing a freshman to a sophomore? Lee was slung in there after RP was kicked off and Hatch was destroyed. He should have been more prepared, but around July of last year, did he think he would even get a snap?

Now on the other hand, JJ has had minor PT last year, and an ENTIRE off-season to prepare. Still nothing. He also is showing absolutely no signs of improving either.

Can we at least SEE if JL has improved? I wonder Lee is even allowed to look at a football on the sideline?

If Lee came in right now, he's probably thinking 1) I can't possibly throw that many interceptions again 2) I can't possibly get sacked as many times as JJ = confidence booster???

This is the best point of all. Everyone forgets the situation JL was thrown into because of RP. Through 5 games last year JL was sacked only 3 times and through the Georgia game JJ had been sacked 13 times. It can't all be offensive line play. No QB in the country can take a 10 step drop and expect to hold the ball for 4-5 seconds without a DL getting to him off the edge.

we had this talk last night

Lee definately deserves some snaps. Last year, despite the pick 6's and the 5 losses, we scored points. We had a god awful defense, but we scored points. This year, our defense is excellent. Id say the defense has come a long long way and looks like a top 10 defense. Even if Lee is a risk with the picks they wont be as damaging. Last year, he throws a pick, the opponent scores. This year, he throws a pick, our D would get some stops.

I hate being the guy that vouches for the backup, but when your offense puts up 160 yards of offense...something has to change.
