while we all expostulating, fretting, and downright panicing he already knew how to handle these events and gave us a rare direct answer to a direct question. i think JJ is an integral part of this football team and he really is a key to our success this year whether some think so or not. yes, JL deserves to be the starter but to win 14 games JJ's abilities will be needed, esp. if JL goes down. if JJ will adopt the correct attitude, and i think he will, team chemistry will only be enhanced. i, for one, like having him available to play. it is very difficult for a starting qb in the sec to go the whole season w/o some injury not to mention that a qb sometimes has a bad night and the other guy might be needed to pull a game out. we sure needed JL in that role last year. even though i do not know JJ personally, i think he is a good young man and i hope this experience aids him in becoming what he can be. he's LSU and so am i.

He wasn't integral when we were out winning games vs. 3 ranked opponents on the road. Why should he be integral now?

I'm glad he's able to come back to the team (for his sake), but I wholeheartedly disagree with this. his abilities are a "nice to have", but not a necessity.

False based on the games played while he gave no contribution whatsoever.

if JL goes down

Still possibly false given Metts ability to play QB in our offense.

What's the matter with you figs that don't like to read a long post (this wasn't even a long post). I hope you can do math.

Jefferson is the 3rd best - maybe 4th counting Rivers - passer on this team. Jesus, he might only be the 3rd best duel threat QB on the team. I am definitely confident in saying he is at best the 7th best runner on this team.

Serious Question: Exactly how does all this translate into his 'abilities will be needed' for LSU to win 14 games this year?
