Is Les continuing the Jefferson favoritism?

Let's face it, when JJ was 3-10 for 30 yards against Tennessee, and really before that, any other QB gets benched for awhile. We all saw the bias, yes there was speculation that we weren't there in practice and that the coaching staff knew more than us, but it was a little ridiculous that he didn't give them alternating series much earlier.

Now you have to wonder how much that favoritism is coming into play here... he does love JJ. I really hope we don't see a suspension for Northwestern game only, will look soooo bad for Les and for LSU to rest of SEC.

Look I like Les, and certainly don't hate Jefferson, and for damn sure don't love Lee either,
but I think it's a valid question

Les is just waiting for all the facts to come out. I'm sure that even he is smart enough to know that you can't trust 18-21 year olds, the players and the non-players. You can't expect him to make a judgment unless he knows exactly what each player did.

How foolish would he look if he suspended Jefferson indefinitely, and then Jefferson was completely exonerated?

No - JJ has the ability to run the ball on the option. It is an addition to the attack that keeps our offense wide open.
Miles just has not figured out how to properly use it during the last 3 years.

I think completely exonerated at this point is going to have to be taken with a grain of salt

I think it will look bad for LSU either way

No. Miles is biased towards the QB that he feels can give us the best chance of winning. It worked 11 out of 13 times last year.

I will accept your 11 out of 13 times, and as I told you I don't hate JJ at all

but I think you have to agree without JL coming off the bench in Tenn, Fla we don't win those games
his big throw in Bama helped us seal it, but JJ won that game

I didn't mention any names in my post. Miles puts in who he thinks gives us the best chance of winning. Whether it was Tenn, Fla or Bama, Miles went with the guy who had the hot hand. I agree about JL coming off the bench and winning. But without JJs legs, we may not win the Tenn game either, just sayin'.

All in all, the coaches (Miles, Krag, Stud) know the QBs and the team a lot better than we on the outside and I would suggest WE are the ones who show our favoritism because we have much less information to make an informed decision on who should be over center.

fact: there's video evidence of football players kicking people while they are laying on the ground.
