Miles did NOT screw up by not playing Lee

on Monday.
Now, he may have screwed up by not playing the kid more after the Nov. 5th game so as to have more confidence in him in case he needed a backup on Monday; but he didn't. The reality of the situation is Lee had played so-o-o-o little since October that it would have been careless to play him in that situation. Miles' QB strategy bit him the arse on Monday.
Did we need Lee or someone else? YES, no question. I'm NOT defending JJ's performance in ANY way. It sucked. The problem was we had no realistic option.

Jordan Jefferson either throws an interception or gets sacked every 6.25 pass attempts
Jarrett Lee either throws an interception or gets sacked every 23.8 pass attempts

You're missing the bigger issue: We should not have tailored our entire offense around the deficient skills of JJ for the last 3 years. It was always wrong.

I feel better now that you feel that way.

If the only other QB option would have been Stephen Rivers, then Miles still would have screwed up by not giving Rivers a shot.

Agreed on the second issue. Despite being labeled team Jefferswag because I took up for the kid I always stated that Lee should have retained the starting job after bama. He was shell shocked on the 5th and needed to get his confidence back. There was no point in making a complete switch. Having both qbs ready helped the first time against bama and it may would have helped this time.
ETA despite JL being cold he should have been give a shot.

Again how can you score Les than zero points? Are there negative points in football? What would it have hurt? Besides giving someone else a shot it would have given a shell-shocked JJ a much needed break even if for a few plays.

The bigger issue is that Miles completley fricked up the offense because he was insistent on playing Jefferson and benching Lee. I have full confidence we would have beaten WKU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Georgia with Lee as the starter and JJ as the change of pace option runner.
With Lee at QB we only trailed once against Oregon for like 1 minute. But since he gave full reigns to Jefferson, the offensive production went down. We only scored 14 first half points against WKU, we fell behind 14-0 to Arkansas and 10-0 to Georgia -we were winning in spite of JJ. The only game JJ played where the offense didn't get off to a piss poor start was Ole Miss, and Ole Miss is so terrible we didn't even have to pass against them.

How much did Lee play before getting put in against Tennessee last year in the come from behind win he led us to? He threw 1 pass the week before. Prior to that it was over a year.
And you are saying not playing in a month hurts him?

The game was pretty much over dumbass. We had nothing to lose.

That is absolutely incorrect. Were you watching the first 9 games of the season??? Do you think JL forgot how to throw a football? WTF? JL was a proven successful option. I do agree with you saying it could have been Mett, what would it have hurt? But having JL standing there doing nothing while we slowly self destructed on Off. is crazy.
