9-14, no real shots downfield, pretty good 2 minute drill. did have the one int that was bad. i thought J lee played the best. outside of the numbers.

This is all the proof I need to decide everyone saw what they wanted to see from the scrimmage. Meaning everyone let their agendas decide who played the best and should be our starter. I thought JJ looked good until his thumb was hit, then he looked pretty damn poor. Mett showed some flashes of what I think will be an All-SEC QB. He also showed flashes of a player that is in his first year with a program. (Honestly I'm most excited about Mett, I just want to be sure he is ready) Lee showed exactly what he has showed since he has been here. He is the complete Jekyl and Hyde football player. He throws a nice completion, then he throws a pass that reminds you he has some of the worst decision making ever seen. I was by far the least impressed with him and I think he is where he needs to be, and that is third string.

I had to step back from it all and just come to terms that I should accept whoever is under center Sept. 3rd. I will support to the fullest whoever that is. I do feel much better going into the season and honestly believe if Mett keeps improving, and JJ stays the same, it won't take 3 losses to see a change. Miles wants to win and while we don't always agree with his decisions, I believe he makes them with the intent that they give his Tigers the best possible chance of winning now and in the future.

The only good thing JL had in that game was the 2 minute drill. JL is so inconsistent it's ridiculous. He's more inconsistent than JJ imo. At least you know JJ can't throw worth a shite. JL makes some really nice throws, then will make a really poor decision and get picked or just make you scratch your head. I also saw JL make a throw to a receiver that hit the ground about 5 yards in front of the receiver that was wide open. There's a reason JL is not starting, believe it or not.

In a JJ vs. JL debate, JJ and JL are both wildly inconsistent. The one thing JJ has over JL is his legs. He can run when the play breaks down and he can run some draws and such. JL is a passing QB that just can't seem to make good decisions or maintain good mechanics when pressure is on.

Mett is most certainly the future and our starter next season. I agree that if you take away the 60 yard bomb that his stats are mediocre, but that bomb was impressive. I promise you JJ, and probably not JL, could have made that throw. He threw it into the wind and it was right on the money.
