(1) At best, your assertion is based on blind faith in the staff;
-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".

(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;
-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.
