Well, so far his "actions/play" have talked loud enough for him to be running 1st team since 11/08 as judged by those who count...the LSU staff.

Perhaps the disconnect lies not in JJ's "actions/play" but in the minds of those who refuse to hear what that staff is saying to them to this point in time.

While JJ might have made a couple comments in his career that he would have been better served not making, so freaking what? The guy started carrying the load for LSU at 18 and is now 20 yrs old. You thought maybe he would never mis-speak? Did you at that age? I sure in the hell did and I didn't have reporters dogging my steps wanting quotes.

Seems to me that on the whole, JJ has handled his role with the media as LSU starting QB for 2+ years bout as well as one would expect for a 18 to 20 yr old guy.

Lonnie not flaming you but I think what is being said is he has made quotes that have not matched his performance and a large portion of the fanbase in my opinion would like to see his play match up to his statements.

I will also say staffs are not infallible. I think of the Saban staff after Rohan replaced Booty in 2000, Rohan was hurt in the upset of Tenn and aggravated it in the Fla game and was replaced by Booty while he healed. However when he was back at 100% the staff chose to stay with Booty for the remainder of the season including a horrible something like 3 for 17 performance like Arky. Rohan didnt play after the Fl game till the 2nd half of the Ga Tech bowl game. I think we all agree that Rohan had shown up to and after the time of his injury he was the better qb yet Saban started Booty over him. Hence I think there is a reasonable debate to JJ earning the starting position if for no other reason than his performance in 2010 and even up to the spring game.
