If JJ is reinstated and Lee is getting the job done, does he get the starting QB job back?

I don't see how Les could hand it back over to JJ if the offense is clicking and the team is piling on the W's.

Thoughts?

No. He'll be in the doghouse and have to earn his way back.

The entire university would look awful if JJ were to play this year. It would look as if LSU had no moral compass. Lee and Mett will be just fine.

If we're winning, no.

If we're losing, maybe.

Original thought though.

Most likely. Maybe not instantly but it will happen.

Just curious why do you feel the need to start another thread on this subject?

If Lee is doing well then they would probably give the majority of the snaps to Lee and maybe bring in JJ for certain running situations or if the game is already won, it is his last year of eligibility, Miles probably feels bad for him and would give him some chance (BTW, I mostly assuming that this whole thing is being blown out of proportion by the media and the stress on the BRPD)

Nope, Lewis Unglesby himself even said the legal process at best is going to require over 2/3rds of the season. By then, it would be blatantly unfair and stupid to sub JJ in for JL.

I believe JJ and Josh Johns are suspended for the season, at any rate. We'll see Johns back next year, but obviously not Jefferson. He might weasel his way into the '12 NFL supplemental draft or go play in the CFL.

You would hope not, but Les' love affair with JJ has never really made any logical sense, so I wouldn't be shock to see Les bench Lee in JJ's stead just cause.

Unless the popo found those naked pictures during their search of JJ's apartment.

For sure if charges are dropped.

Maybe if plead down to a misdemeanor. This would be admitting he was that he was involved in a bar fight, but not admitting to kicking a helpless victim.

Never if the process goes past the middle of October.

I don't think JJ ever plays for LSU again. IMO

Interesting question.

I suppose part of it would be dependent on what happened to the charges against Jefferson.

I suppose another part of it would be dependent on how well Lee is getting the job done.

I expected both QBs to play better now that Krags is here.

No.

He is likely done at LSU. JJ will go down as one of the most scrutinized QBs in LSU history on some of the most talented teams. You will have a argument he is one of the top 5 worst QBs in recent LSU memory. Maybe ever.

If JL is struggling and we're losing games, best thing to do is prepare for the future with Mettenberger.

No he won't get the job back unless we lose a few games.

He'll come back just in time to lead LSU to a glorious victory in the Liberty Bow.

The only reason Miles likes JJ so much is because so many fans don't.
