Makes sense to me...but i have to believe Lee and or Jefferson gets alot of pt especially in the first 4 or 5 games. You have to have all these guys getting game reps in case of injuries.

But I do think Hatch is the guy right now.

Hatch is probably the smartest of our QBs, He went to Harvard after all! He will probably make the best decisions and not turn over the ball a lot. That is what we need this year, someone who does not LOSE the game for us. If only Jamarcus Russell was smarter with his decisions when he QBed! We could have another title under our belt!

That's what I got out of the press conference today with Miles. Those comments about smart, not turning the ball over/not making mistakes (really emphasized that) sounded like Hatch is in the lead for the QB job. He brings a little more to the table as far as duel-threat as well over Lee. May not be as talented overall, but brings a safer, more open game for us to start out the year.

The last time someone affilliated with ESPN had something to say concerning LSU,that person was completely wrong and he made an arse out of himself.

Kirk Herbstriet=Miles to Michigan.

Ring a bell.

Yeah that's nice, but who is Les planning on starting at QB at Michigan, per ESPN?

I have flash backs of Georgia when Stafford was a freshman. He struggled and an upperclassman who had an arm about like Hatch was tried. He had one good game until defenses realized that he couldn't throw the ball then he stalled. Richt then inserted Stafford in the starting lineup for good and the team began to win. I expect Lee to be the full time starter by mid season.

They want him to start so they can bash us that we can't find a good QB, we had to go to Harvard to get one...

Hatch has the confidence of Crowton and-- if he starts-- Miles. And he is accompanied onto the field by teamates named Helms, Black, Byrd, Lafell, Williams-Scott-Murphy-Ridley...et al. Why worry?...Ladies and Gentleman...welcome to the show!

ESPN is so good at reading between the lines!

The Tiger's starting QB obviously has not be chosen, but when you are an ESPN sports writer on vacation and can't research a story, just read between the lines and make up anything you like.

I think that Hatch was the more complete quarterback in the spring game. He looked more confident than Lee. I'm not saying I definetly would prefer Hatch over Lee, but I wouldn't be worried if Miles did start Hatch under center.

This is shorthand for the following: "all that precedes this is complete bullshite that has not been researched and has no more chance of being true than any other random thing we could have made up and written instead".

So...

...means nothing. If anything, ESPN's saying it makes me less likely to believe it than I would have been if they hadn't said anything.
