re: Why We HAVE to Play JL and RS Very Soon at QB

he got benched because he got hurt and JJJ played better then he did

What you call better a shitty Ga. Tech team better. J.L. would've looked like a Heisman candidate too.....

and b/c Miles waits until it's too late to do something about a bad situation

when the girl at the Avis car rental counter in New Orleans said that JJ looked like a deer in the headlights.........that ought to be pretty obvious to the coaching staff too....

i think both JL and RS should be allowed to play a couple of series each.....and let JJ watch what the defense is doing from the sidelines.....

Not all the sacks are JJ's fault but he does not help the O line. He does not step up into the pocket he just does not have that six sense that good QB's have.

JJ getting sacked is as much on him as it is the O-line. He normally looks for his first read and if the target doesn't come open, he takes off running OR holds the ball just waiting. There are PLENTY of times where he should have just thrown the ball away but instead he ate the sack. Yes, there are times that the O-line does not protect well or at all and he is sacked.

JL stared down WR's and threw into tight coverage routinely LAST YEAR. I think that the kid has a good arm and could offer a better ability to stretch the field vertically. He probably knows more of the playbook than JJ because last year his only problem was forcing throws, not play selection.

RS probably doesn't know enough of the playbook to be brought in for more than the occasional QB run or read option play. Still, it would be a nice change of pace if used correctly.

IMHO I think that JJ should be the starter but that we should use JL for at least one series per quarter. If one proves to be having a hot hand, then we stick with him. RS should get a snap here and there sprinkled throughout the game. It gets our 3 main QB's experience while at the same time forcing defenses to prepare for the different abilities that all 3 bring.

I think that our coaching staff chose JJ because he is best at not turning the ball over, which is HUGE! But he leaves a lot to be desired in his ability to consistently move this offense with his arm. Each has the ability to offer something different and while we don't have a complete product in one package, together all 3 could prove to be just what this offense needs.

As per the usual on this board, extremists abound and what is needed is a level head. JJ is NOT done.....AND.....JL is Not some fricking loser who doesn't ever deserve a chance again. The best solution to our QB problem (I'm not addressing the OL so give it a rest) is to start JJ as usual but have JL come in for a couple series (especially early in the game) to give him a chance to show improvement AND to give JJ a chance to see what the D is doing from the sidelines to adjust himself. If you're just dying to see Shep, I'm fine with him playing a few downs, but he does seem to loose the handle on the football about every 3rd time he touches it (which may be why we haven't seen him lately)............all this humbly IMO.

Sure, there is a HUGE downside to JL,

That was last year. Last year. LAST YEAR.

We don't know if there's still a downside since he hasn't played this year except for the TD pass against Vanderbilt. At least there's the distinct possibility that we'll have some semblance of a college level passing offense if he's playing.........

are you talking about

you said: A loss is a loss regardless of by how much.

and i said not in college because if we would have gotten beat down by Florida we wouldn't be #10

My point is if we keep losing, it won't matter. Not that hard to understand.

You must listen to the game instead of watch.
