re: If Jefferson does redshirt and comes back

Let me be as clear as possible. Even if the Shady incident had never occurred I still wouldn't want JJ on the field in 2011. I find his play on the field and his posturing on the sidelines to be a determent to the team.

I have no problem with him being reinstated this year and wearing an LSU uniform and said so five pages back but I still don't want him to start.

This has become such a soapbox issue with some here that to state a position regarding JJ's abilities is tantamount to wanting to see JJ begging on the streets for the remainder of his days. Total BS

At no point have I ever suggested that there could not be an honest opinion that led one to feel that another QB under center would be beneficial to LSU's chances of success. Frankly, after Saturday night, I'd prefer Mett under center to either JJ or JL...but I don't get to decide. As for the rest of those stawmen, I'll pass.

Be that as it may, the fact that there are some that feel this way does in no way change the fact that when the legal issue arose about a month ago now, those "fans" which were the most animated about the situation were those who disliked JJ as a player and they used this opportunity to toss him aside. His guilt or innocence was far less important to the fact that we wasn't a good QB. If he had been, you'd have likely seen these same dishonest folks blindly supporting him in full Auburn Cam Newton defense mode before we knew any facts...but the most important thing would have been to try and keep a good player on the field.
