Except that Lee did play worse in 2009.
Against LaTech, Lee had more yards (105), more TD's (1), and fewer INT's (0) than Jefferson had against WVU.
4/10 (40%) - 44 yards - 0 TDs and 1 Pick
La Tech (2009)
7/22 (32%) - 105 yards - 1 TD and 0 Picks
In both games, Lee threw for 40% or less. Jefferson hit over 45% of his passes against WV.

yeah, lets see... Lee has seen nothing but mop up duty, maybe 3 or 4 passes all season, then you throw him in against the best defense in college football (happened to win the BCS).
yeah, he gets a bit of a pass for this game.
Now, the Tech game, sure he stunk it up.
How is it fair to yank Lee after 1 poor performance (no pick 6s like in 08), but allow JJ to stay in after multiple poor performances and absolutely NO signs of improvement?
At least Lee wasnt throwing pick 6's which was his big knock in 08, so in his 1 chance, there was marginal improvement. he did take better care of the ball.

These arguments are becoming absurd. First of all, you cannot use the Bama game as a basis for comparison. Having to trot into Bryant Denny in the fourth quarter against the best defense in the nation (and the ultimate NC) on short notice after a week in which you do not get the majority of the snaps with the first team is not a viable basis for meaningful conclusions.
Second, the fixation on completion percentage is hilarious. If I told you before the game that you could have a QB who throws for 105 yards, 1 TD, and 0 INTs or a QB who would throw for 75 yards, 0 TD's, and 2 INTs, only a moron would choose the latter because he had a higher completion percentage on meaningless short throws. Good god. What sort of analysis yields the conclusion that you'll trade 13% increase in completions for fewer yards, fewer TD's, and more INTs.
Again, Jefferson played as poorly as a QB can last week, worse than Lee in 09. WORSE.

The fact that he threw for over 25% fewer yards with three more completions might explain the difference in completion percentage. And of course the TD/Int margin of 1/0 compared to 0/2 is pretty significant as well.
Lastly, there is some difference between being the full-time starter and focus of practice reps and game planning for over a year and being a backup that the coaches have completely given up on and being suddenly thrust into the starting role due to injury.
