Has Lee shown you an exceptional ability to read defenses?
exceptional is not the issue...better than Mett..YES !
I can promise you that Lee can read D's better than Mett at this point...
you can not substitute for experience.

Lee - first mistake "Damn, here we go again."

This is a spot on example of how some of our "fans" think.

Curious.. who thinks Mett overtakes Lee

We have 7 more rush attempts after 2 games this season than we had in 2010 and a 100 less yards gained than what we had in 2010 after 2 games.

I take it completion % is the only thing you care about?

what do you base that on ?
Northwestern sophisticated scheme ?
I believe that Mett will prove to be much more talented than Lee and JJ from what I have seen so far, but he is not there yet.
Quit disguising the posts.. it is obvious you do not like Lee

Yeah because Miles hates LSU and always and I do mean always plays the lesser guy while keeping Heisman quality players on the bench. Right?

Yep. Miles does that all the time doesn't he? I wonder why he recruits talented players and then has to rely on message board geniuses to tell him who to play and when.

Reading comprehension is your friend.

I think what most people are trying to say is that everyone is looking at Mett's performance as "wow", while Lee actually had a better performance statistically.
Others are forgetting the opponent all together, and simply look at the player, mechanics, etc.

I'm concerned abotu Lee's ability to threaten the defense deep. He's still missing on anything over 15 yards routinely. The first pass to Randle was woefully underthrown and it should have been a touchdown. 1) underthrown severely 2) thrown outside the hash intead of inside (with no safety help)
He has to get better threatening the defense down the field to back off the safeties.

I hope I am misunderstanding you here.

Miles doesnt plan to play Mett Thursday night. I for one hope he gets at least a little action... but it doesnt sound like it.
is it possible that on some level, even a subconscious one, that Les wants to avoid a QB controversy? thus his action might be consistent with that?
a proposterous thought, i know.

quote:Sure, and that's why I don't put as much stock in stats. Of course they're important over the course of the season, but we can't sit here and pick out the best qb by looking at 30 minutes of stats a piece. The same people who are championing for Lee's stats against NW are also the ones who said stats weren't important against Oregon btw.
I think what most people are trying to say is that everyone is looking at Mett's performance as "wow", while Lee actually had a better performance statistically.
quote:This is clearly the more rational way to do it. I think Miles is a pretty damn good football coach, and I think he's doing just that, which is why I expect him to play Mett more and more.

Lee would have to struggle and we would have to lose 3 games.

Please post your coaching resume.

I agree that he will catch up and surpass the others...what none of us here know is WHEN that will take place.
As I said earlier...AL, FL, etc, will bring about many more schemes and looks...there is no substitute for experience.
