re: Miles is making things so much worse on Jefferson by starting him

If you are a decent person your heart goes out to this kid no matter who your team is

What kind of psychobabble drivel is this? Are you serious? For the record, there are no personal feeling involved here. It is about performance. Mr. Jefferson may offer his body as a sacrifice for the propitiation of others' sins, but that is, my dear fellow, beside the point.

Has Mr. Jefferson suffered some extraordinary loss or overcome odds that recommended heavily against his ever playing at athletic endeavor? He is a man no more or less than others so far as this board is concerned. Why, exactly, should our hearts go out to this kid?

I can imagine how it may feel not to succeed as one may have wished or to experience the sting of failure. But one's character is revealed by his response to adversity. So far as giving LSU the best chance possible to win, he need not play QB again. That is all there is to it.
