But we don't really know. If Jefferson starts it will be because he is the best QB, not because he is a Sr.


Your guess is as good as mine. Based on what Miles has said, experience and the ability to run outweigh pure passing ability. It's my guess that JJ is Miles choice for QB and he is being groomed to be just that.

But if you want to continue to insult, feel free. Try to have an adult conversation.

What you don't seem to understand is that nobody is disagreeing with you about Miles factoring in experience and ability to run. What some people are saying is that those are not the only things he will take into account, but those things do also play a part in determining who the "best" QB is.

You seem to be under the impression that the ability to pass = best QB....and that other factors (experience and versatility) will be reasons that will lead to Miles starting Jefferson instead of the "best" QB.

I don't see where he said that about the ability to run, but what is "pure passing ability"? Sorry if you find that question insulting, but simply having a better arm does not make someone a better QB. And seeing as none of us have been at all the practices and scrimmages, I don't see how anyone can say Meth is a better "pure passer" at this point in time. Some times people get better at things by doing them more often, that's called experience. Its not a negative. Some keep insisting that Miles only plays older players rather than the best players. That is simply not true. Who ever starts at QB will be the guy that has shown the coaches in practice that he is the best. If he were just going with Jefferson, then why didn't he flat out say, there is no QB competition, JJ is the starter, period.
