Once JJ was entrenched as the starter, the offense was afwul


Then the JL offense was putrid.
3 regular season starts for JJ 3 games of over 450 in total offense. in the previous 9 games (this includes games against Kentucky and Northwestern mind you) we had only been over 450 once and 400 twice (including the game we went for 450).

We sucked against UGA. We sucked against Bama. Both qbs got a shot against bama and they both sucked.

Maybe you should consider the fact that in the first eight games, we were normally so far ahead at the half that the second half play calling became very conservative, even more so than Miles' normal style. I certainly don't remember a time when we went 3 and out seven times in a row under Lee. Regardless, my point is that Les refused to make a change after JJ obviously stunk it up. If you think JJ was awesome against Arky, fine. He sucked SUCKED (!!) against Ga. Les' stubbornness is the point of this post, not who was better, Lee or JJ. Thankfully, the 1/9/2012 performance answered that question forever, and Les wasn't right. Even if you disagree with that, no one can honestly think that Les' decision to leave JJ in the entire game demonstrates good judgment.
