No, not a denial...a misread. You wrote:

Put it this way, if you were told Jefferson would average 40 yards a game ( ) in the SEC championship and the Nation Championship games, would you have advocated for Lee to play? Yes or No?

What I THOUGHT you wrote was:

My answer was, "Um...no. No I wouldn't have," which is why I directly followed that line up by asking you if you'd have played Lee knowing with hindsight how his day in November went at BAMA in that November BAMA game.

My point was that using hindsight as the means by which you determine who should play is silly.

What logic do you think you are using if you are basing Lee's future performance on past performance against Bama?

Would it not be the SAME logic for Miles to, at half time, look at Jefferson's past performance in the first half, and think "wow he is sucking it up, I predict this will continue ergo I MUST try something different", and then based on past indicators bring in Lee or Mett in the second half?

I don't get how you can say Miles didn't play Lee because of PAST performances, but that logic, inexplicably and conveniently, doesn't apply to Jefferson DURING THE ACTUAL GAME.
