How about Jefferson and Lee, alternating series? Here's my plan: Lead the team to a TD/FG, you get to lead the team in the next series too. Stalled progress/Punt? Next series you sit on the bench. Interception? You sit out 2-3 consecutive series.

You can rotate Shepard in on 3rd and short plays if you like.

Jefferson and Lee should alternate until one establishes himself as the front-runner.

Bottom line is JL's offense last year was tons better than JJ's this year.

Last year finished in top 50 out of 120. This year in the bottom 10.

I'd rather take stalled drives with the occasional score over pick sixes with the occasional score.

Which gives you the 109th ranked offense in FBS.

Last year the offense was top 50 across the board.

But hey that's your choice.

You're right.

This offense has too much rhythm, identity, and continuity the way it's currently fashioned. We need to mix it up to keep JJ on his toes!

If you had put like 3 or 4 more !s in your title, I might have bought into it.

And spots the other SEC team 7 or 14 points a game? Yeah, thanks but no thanks.

How many presumptions have you made in this post? Good God.

Two points:
1. Jefferson is starting to throw interceptions more.
2. Lee only started throwing interceptions with regularity around the mid-point of last season, which is exactly where we are now. Not trying to say Jefferson will follow suit, but don't think he is immune from throwing interceptions either.

We needed a defensive touchdown against Washington and 2 against MSU as well as a lot of luck. Against ULL, Jefferson gift wrapped 2 picks for tds and the UL defenders dropped the balls. Those td's would have been a 21 point swing. That game was actually losable by LSU. Then against GA, int at the goal line and at the end Jeff did not want the ball. That is why Scott ran.

Well Scott bailed them out against GA and Chad Jones bailed them out against MSU.

Les was waiting for a bailout against UF but it did not come.

People, being the 109th ranked offense in FBS is not good. For those of you who think it is, you're wrong.

I guess the positive spin is our offense is better than 11 other teams in FBS.

JJ does stall drives and Lee does throw pick sixes and both of them are capable of occasional scoring. These are my presumptions.

Lee also generated a ton of offense last year.

Had he not been injured agaist Ole Miss he would have broken virtually all of the LSU freshman passing records that game.

Really they don't? What about 2006 Florida, 2007 LSU National Championship teams?

Do I need to mention other NCAA records, freshman or otherwise he's broken? The number of pick sixes he's thrown is not all bad luck and is a serious problem. There have been other freshman that have started at LSU and elsewhere - we've seen nothing like what Lee did last year. I hope he gets it all corrected but not at this season's expense. I'd rather bet the season on JJ and the defense which is playing well.

No, your presumptions specifically implied by this statement:

quote:

are that Lee would produce a similar amount of scoring as Jefferson. That the only trade-off would be turnovers rather than stalled drives, pick sixes at that. It's utter ignorance, the point you try to get across and that you presume to be undeniable fact. Assuming that Lee will continue to throw "pick sixes" and that the introduction of Lee into the lineup won't offer us greater scoring is unsubstantiated, and speculative at best. The guy is almost unanimously recognized as a better passer with a quicker release but made too many bad decisions last year which resulted in a ton of interceptions. To act as if this is a sign that he will never improve is shear stupidity.

You've made an intentionally misleading argument to prop up Lee as the better option along with your own ignorant presumption that Lee will continue to throw pick sixes at a similar rate as his FIRST season in which he was asked to do far more in this offense than JJ ever has, along with having a horrible defense behind him.

Point being, you're an idiot. I've seen people make decent cases for JJ over Lee, this is not even remotely close to being one of them and reeks with bias and lack of impartial rational thinking.
