Not saying we beat everyone on our schedule or that we shouldn't improve of that Lee doesn't deserve some snaps, BUT Jefferson gives us the best chance to win. We heard time and time and time again how improved Lee was. Yet when he had his shots he failed. AGain, until we actually LOSE a game as teh direct fault of Jefferson, I fail to see the rationale for pulling a second year start to insert someone else.
There are several problems with this post:
(1) Your assertion that JJ gives us the best chance to win is completely unfounded. Lee hasn't had an opportunity to play this season. At best, your assertion is based on blind faith in the staff;
(2) When did Lee "fail" when he had his shots? Against LaTech in 2009? Again, he had more yards, more TD's, and fewer INT's than Jefferson had last week. If Lee "failed" against La Tech, then Jefferson "failed" even more miserably against WVU. Moreover, by your own standard - which appears to be winning - Lee succeeded in his last start. At least apply consistent standards to both QB's;
(3) A good coach makes an adjustment BEFORE it costs the team a game. I don't want to needlessly lose a game because the staff was obstinate on the QB issue.

Comparing WV, a BCS team that was ranked and undefeated, against Tech, a WAC team that lost twice as many games as it won.
I mean, your post is a joke, right?

-No it isn't. It's based on watching Lee throw interception after interception versus Jefferson, who while not "pretty", doesn't do the same. Again, you're asking me to assume that somehow this staff is so self-hating (don't know any other word) that they actually are CHOOSING to go with a player who puts them in position to LOSE rather than putting in someone who, you're asking me to believe based on I don't know what, is somehow, magically, mystically, "the answer".

-What other "standard" do you suggest - Beauty? Race? Sexual Orientation? Religion? I was in TS for that Tech game; if you can tell me that the "fans" thought Lee was succeeding, you live in neverland. Again, I'm not saying Lee hasn't improved or that he shuoldn't be worked into the game plan. What I'm objecting to is the idea that somehow yanking Jefferson totally in favor of Lee is some kind of magic panacea to our problems.
(3) A good coach makes an adjustment BEFORE it costs the team a game. I don't want to needlessly lose a game because the staff was obstinate on the QB issue.
- I agree; but I also think that there is a difference between an "adjustment" and an "over-reaction". And I think Miles's point is at least half-right: if you had receivers not lining up wrong or not dropping very well-thrown passes, those would be very good "adjustments." Funny, Russell Shepard has dropped at least 3 perfectly thrown passes, one for a first down, one for a touchdown; I don't see any posts about pulling him.
