In a nutshell, Miles says that JJ is our man and he is young and improving. Nice.

"When I watch film, whenever I hold the ball, it's a coverage downfield that is hovering over the receiver, " he said. "So whenever I'm holding the ball, I'm really not forcing it. There were a couple of times when a cornerback was hovering over a receiver and I didn't want to force it into coverage, so I'm looking for a chance to run it or throw the ball out of bounds."

-- On whether he relies too much on one receiver: "I have a checkdown, but sometimes none of them are open, " he said. "It's just great coverage by the defense."
what bad luck LSU has that UW, ULL, Vandy, Miss St, UGA and UF all had blanket coverage on all of our wide receivers the entire game. i guess we're doing all we can do though

And congratulations to Tiger Droppings/The Rant (and Carl) for making the front page of the Times Picayune Sports section.

Neither got their name mentioned though. It was all "irate realms of cyberspace" and fans with "disgruntled crosshairs" who harbor "disdain" for LSU's quarterback.

Carl did get a bit of an (admittedly anonyumous") shouthout as: "a sportswriter well versed in Tiger athletics"

Note to the OP: You might want to consider editing the title to refer to the Times Picayune or NOLA article. Othewise there's liable to be a couple dozen threads on this article in the next few hours.

Is Les being stubborn or just stupid? Is this a reflection of how bad the coaches thing J Lee is? As previoulsy noted, I just can't see that every team we've played has played perfect coverage in the secondary on 2 wide receivers that will be in the NFL. If that's the case, then Crowton is not doing a good enough job calling plays to get them open. Either way, they need to be rotated in the same game. Stupid to keep thinking JJ had absolutely only 3 passes open all game against Florida. Mallett didn't seem to have any problems passing on Florida, but our wide outs were completely blanketed all game?

WHAT quarterback controversy?


Well, it is a tad strange to find a "quarterback controversy" on a TOP 10 ranked team when the starting guy has QBed the team 99.9% of the time and the other guy less than .01% of the time and then for 10 yds of total O or less.

Miles will not think about changing QBs or play Lee for a series or two unless JJ is injured. We saw this last year. Lee may see some mop up duty against Tulane and LaTech, but that's about it.

Right or wrong, that is Miles.

What does this say about the confidence in Jarrett Lee.

frick it, I hope he transfers. His HS TE teammate is at McNeese and we'll need a QB. We have nothing but RS freshmen behind our 4 year starter.

If Miles doesn't play J Lee he will leave at the end of this year. The QB should be decided on the field with competition. Both JJ and JL should be our QB until one wins the job on the field.

There never was. It's a non-story.

About damn time! All these fools calling for JL make me sick...

JJ is taking us to the SEC Championship at least twice before he graduates!
