Lee came in late in the 4th Qtr against a physically beat WKU defense. I'd throw that out of the window. In fact I would throw all of last night out of the window but this entire board is having a fit over a lackluster blow out of a cup cake I felt the need to chime in.

I'm not talking stats here either, as the backs are sometime used differently when the two QBs are in. The fact of the matter is, you can clearly watch defenders bite on Jefferson, which gives a RB a split second to make that extra move. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes the defense made the right call, but sometimes it does and to discredit Jefferson for that is just as unfair as most of the crap being thrown around between this meaningless QB discussion.

Well JJ checked to both long td's. So the defense made the right call, JJ changed accordingly, made great throws, and had td's.

Hey filmmarker you can discredit whoever you want here but the film doesnt lie. Teams dont respect JJ's ability to throw the ball downfield and so far only TAMU has paid for that, Look at the tapes they are fine taking the chance on JJ beathing them deep and have oberwhelming been correct excemt the TAMU game

The stats I put up are for the entire season. They are for the first 4 games without JJ and the last 6 where he was a part of the offense. Please show me where he has improved our running game? If anything, he may have hurt it a bit, because we run packages now where Ford isn't in with Lee as much and all we do is run Ware up the middle with Lee in. It's pretty damn predictable and neither QBs fault. It's on Les and the coaches for shitty playcalling.
