I knew he completed 16 or 17 passes, but the 11.6 completions per game seemed a little low.


that's what happens when you can't complete more than 5 passes in the 2nd half of games.

2nd half completions in 2008:
Ole Miss: 5
Arkansas: 3
GT: 5

it also doesn't help when you struggle to get 1st downs on passing plays in the 2nd half. 2nd half first down stats from those games:
Ole Miss: 5 first downs, 3 passing
Arkansas: 3 first downs, 1 passing
GT: 6 first downs, 1 passing (by our Dalfrey on a fake punt)

Jordan Jefferson really struggled in the 2nd half of games last year. And, he's even struggled some this year in the 2nd half.

im not trying to be harsh either...just pointing out what i've noticed. And I was at all of the games. And also watched 3 of the games twice. And watched quite a few offensive plays in slow motion just to see what was going on.

He has at times stared down receivers, but as a whole has done as good of a job as can be expected, and in many instances better than i would expect.

Watch a few Saints games. Even Drew Brees stares down receivers at times.

And even where JJ does stare down receivers, if they are not open, he does not make the throw. If they are, he does. If he stared down receivers and it was a problem we would see more interceptions.
