The problem with the stats is JJ just happened to be on the field when Ridley broke his two big runs.

1 was the first play of a drive where Ridley made a great cut.

The second was on a 2nd and 2 in the 3rd where he made another great move.

It had nothing to do with JJ. Take those 2 runs out and the numbers are almost identical between when the two QBs are in.

With JJ:
9 for 34 yards

With Lee:
11 for 39 yards

That isn't that big of a deal. Given the fact Ridley lost a huge run on the first drive Lee was in because of Barksdale's hold, I'd say the numbers aren't that different.

In the end, Les will do what Les is going to do. We just have to accept that even if it means failure for this team.

who cares. everyone is trying to mash numbers. its pretty simple. when you have a threat to run, alot of times you will "spy" that qb with a defensive player. blitzes are more conservative. it doesnt matter how bad JJ throws the damn ball, he is a threat with his feet..he has 4.6 speed, who fricking cares...with lee in the game, and no footspeed more blitz packages are thrown in and thats when you go over the top...which is EXACTLY what we did the last drive against Tennessee. Both bring their own skill sets but the running game will always be better with JJ in i dont give a frick what yall say ive played QB since i was 5 and thats just how it is. Lee is the pass threat, JJ is the Run threat. Who cares who starts, Lee will see the majority of the snaps so everyone can stop frickin PMSing and booing when JJ gets in because its for a reason, 50% of his struggles are because of you motherfrickers on here that dog one of our own. why the frick would anyone wanna play qb for some of you stupid fricks.."frick yall ill play for myself"...and thats EXACTLY the mindframe he is in right now. Congrats. Ive seen people dog him at school, if i was him if hit yall in the fricking mouth. Same thing with Lee a few years ago...no player deserves that unless hes a professional, no one wants to represent you when you dont represent him.

Agree 100%

The idiots yesterday were trying to attribute Ridley's success to JJ in that stat thread. I've never seen such an obtuse and willfully stupid analysis of data in my life.
