Worse early
Better late


Lee was extremely efficient until the GOTC. After that the QB play deteriorated noticeably. This year the QBs will take their lumps early but improve as the season goes.

I tend to agree with this...though I'd add only worse by a bit.

Both 2014 guys are in a better position mentally than Lee was in 2011...having had his difficulties to the point where fans suggested that the mere presence of Jefferson on the sidelines spooked Lee. Miles never seemed to trust Lee after his RS freshman year and even when he was playing efficiently it always looked like the other shoe was about to drop.

We all know how limited Jefferson was.

The young guys, while not having much experience, also don't have any bad memories. They also have the benefit of having Cam be their OC and QB coach, which means a TON.

And...while the D may not be 2011 level (it may, but 2011 was otherworldly) the running game ought to be much better, so neither QB will be pressed too often to have to win games.

As the year rolls on, I expect both to makes great strides.

I agree, but that 2011 offense didn't exactly jump out of the gates if you remember the Oregon and Miss. St. games.

JLee played almost spotless ball until the gump game


Just go back and watch the games that year. Lee was uncomfortable in the pocket and had this little jump-throw that he'd pull out whenever he wasn't throwing off his back foot. There was a point against Oregon where it looked like he might not complete a forward pass. Had under an 8 yard avg/attempt vs. Miss. St. Basically a completed pass down-field was a prayer answered.

I'm just hanging my hat on Cam and the fact that both our QBs now are bigger recruits than JJ/Lee.

No, I think better period. We only scored more than one TD from the QB position a game, twice the first 5 games of 2011. We only went over 180 passing yards twice the first 5 games

I really believe after the Wisky teaser, we will open it up more. If we don't, we lose the best chance to test the QBs and WRs before the big games.

He was definitely efficient, but could even be actually good this year.


Anyone who wanted to start or even play JL in the Championship needs to remember i threw 1 TD and 7 picks in 4 games against Alabama.

Worse. 21 TD's, 5 INT's, 2100 YP in 2011. Plus we had two great, experienced receivers.

The Federation would have liked to have seen JL under Cam Cameron for 4 years. What could have been........
