Wrong. I think he knows eventually he's gonna have to give Lee a shot.


soooo... is he waiting to do it against Florida or Alabama? Woudnt that be setting the kid of for failure? If he knows he has to work Lee in, theres no way you can justify waiting until we play those teams to do it.

And the very thought of coddling a football player =

Here is the problem in a nut shell.

Mile quote:
quote:

I can tell you that anytime you are in a game where you are penalized as often as we were, that quarterback has a very difficult situation. Instead of going back there second and two, he is going back there at third and 12. A good majority of our third down conversions had to do with what was the penalty and the situation in front of him rather than the quarterback play. I can tell you when you are third and long and you rush three and drop all the underneath coverage to take away those routes, it is not the ideal time to throw a football. I would say any quarterback in that position minus Brett Favre might have a real issue.


This is perfectly accurate. 3rd and long we were constantly faced with is hard to convert, true! And that is the problem. It is hard and Les Miles is giving JJ the right to throw inaccurate passes in this situation and the situation will ALWAYS get the blame and its as if the inaccurate pass or the sack or the scramble when receivers are open never happened... not JJ's fault.

exactly, so tired of hearing this shite. the dude is a SEC qb if he's too big of pussy to handle some criticism or being benched then he shouldn't be in this position to begin with.

I hate to say it but just look at the way Saban coaches and gets on players, you don't see them imploding from within when he gets on their asses
