so what? They were different teams and in completely different circumstances. And again, picking and choosing small data points will lead to unreliable conclusions and confirmation bias. Seriously, why do you refuse to take both players ENTIRE body of work for the entire season?

But in truth, the offense only scored 28 points.

Jordan Jefferson very clearly lacks the requisite number of data points to make a reliable comparison. I swear the term statistical variance doesn't mean anything to you two.
Oh? Oh really?!?!

Good luck with that!

Two mediocre, on their career, QBs and they get more action here than the guy who came after them and who is still playing in the NFL.

The butt hurt remaining 4 seasons later is both amusing and amazing!

you think 20 total passes in 5 games is enough passes to make a reliable conclusion as to his quality of play? I guess you do because you think comparing a season of 40 passes to one of 269 passes is a fair comparison. Like I said, it's very easy to use statistics to "win" any argument, if you use them the right way. But as most sensible know, statistics can be very misleading. You had an entire argument about how ESPN's QBR isn't reliable, yet here you are doing the same thing, making your own rules as to what stats and what games should be applied to come up with your own conclusions

From page 17...

quote:

Against Oregon, Jarrett Lee completed fewer than 50% of his passes for fewer than 100 yards. Our offense managed just 10 points in the first half, but took the lead due to great defense and a fumble recovery on a punt return from Tyrann Mathieu.

Jarrett Lee halftime stats:
7/14 54 1 TD

In the second half, Sam Montgomery forced a fumble which Eric Reid recovered at the 21, and De'Anthony Thomas fumbled another kickoff, giving LSU the ball at the 41. Both turnovers resulted in touchdowns.

Additionally, Michael Ford and Spencer Ware combined for 27 car 128 yards and 3 TDs in the second half.

Explain to me how this was any different than the SECCG....


We are literally going in circles at this point.

you will continue to present facts in a misleading light. no one has really tried to argue your stats are incorrect, just that they are inappropriately applied and gerrymandered to support your own inherent bias. it's fine. you accuse people of inherent bias against jefferson because they hate him as a person. ok. well, you pick and choose how to apply statistical data to prove your bias that jefferson was better than lee. one can just as easily take different, factual, statistical data for like and apply it to "prove" he was better. you're not teaching anyone anything. you're really doing nothing more than showing your own arrogance

define best. define crappier.
In this particular case, I define "best" by reference to the total yards gained by the offense.

I define "crappier" in same manner in which I defined "worst" above.

yes, Jefferson was a better runner than Lee. So what?

why did you use that? why do you feel that's an iron clad ranking of best to worst?

You don't need my help there, chief... you're doing a great job on your own.

This thread can be summed up, minus your useless drivel, that LSU had two QBs at the same time that had mediocre careers, each helped to win games, Jefferson helped win the GOTC, and helped lose the rematch.

And quit with the stupid charts.

Your point being....? He still completed fewer than half of his passes for fewer than 100 yards, relying on the defense and running backs to win the game.

You really want to sit here and argue that 10/22 for 98 yards and a TD is significantly different than 5/13 for 30 yards and a TD?

never said it was. i also don't attempt to use one game sample sizes in a comparison because that's unreliable. i'm just trying to use their entire bodies of work from the 2011 season, all 14 games, but apparently a couple of y'all don't like doing that
