It appears to me this thread has turned in to a "who's better" thread. In that case, im right on point.





Wasn't my point, is what I was saying.

So now JJ gets credit for plays where the runner gets more yardage on hand offs than they do for Lee?

That's incredibly stupid man


Not entirely.

JJ's sheer presence does things for the run game.

Could this be a one game fluke (wherein Lee would actually have the rushing offense going well) perhaps. But it's interesting to look at nonetheless.

For this game alone there are two incontrovertible facts:

Lee operated the passing offense much better.
JJ operated the rushing offense much better.

If Lee gets all the snaps he could certainly do everything Jefferson did


He is not an option guy.

JJ certainly doesn't look like one either, but he is the guy they have to go with there. The option along with him being a threat to run does spread the defense.

Looking back on Saturday, late in the game when JL was in, it looked like we passed more often, but when Ridley got the ball at that time, he could not get the big yardage like he did with JJ under center. He would either get stuffed at the LOS or just get short gains. That does worry me. I want Ridley to be able to have some consistency regardless who the QB is.

Does this count the sack on Lee?

Because that could throw the numbers off with such a small sample.
The NCAA counts sacks.

If you don't count the sack(s), Lee gets up to 3.5 yards per carry. Still not even close to Jefferson's numbers.

Oh, and don't forget, you have to subtract Lee's sacks' yards and plays from Lee's passing stats.

Then did you remove the yardage JL gained in saving drives for JJ???



He didn't gain any yardage "saving" drives.

He threw two incomplete passes on the end of two JJ drives.

If it makes you feel better, you can subtract those plays.. JJ will still have played less and gotten more yards per play.

But if our fool coaches could figure out a way to make RS or someone else the outside threat while keeping the passing threat of Lee in the game, you'd think that Ridley would benefit.

Don't need it. It
It is called "play action"... it is simple.
To the person that started this thread, You are out of your mind. look at the stats as far as yds and number of plays. At a 30% completion rate, we lose that game.. TO quote Will Hunting "...How about them apples"

Here's your stats:
Passing
Name G QBRat Att Comp Pct Yds Y/A Y/G TD Int Long Sack YdsL
Jordan Jefferson 5 88.0 89 46 51.7 449 5.0 89.8 2 6 51 5 -37
Jarrett Lee 3 133.2 25 18 72.0 206 8.2 68.7 0 1 47 2 -17
Specifically for tenn. lets suppose JJ keeps up his blazing 33 % completion with his 2 picks for the next 23 pass plays for the sake of argument. he gets a total of wait...
wait..














9 for 33 with 4 picks and a grand total of 90 yds. wooooo freakin hooooo

Lee can't do option, isn't so good at zone reads, and doesn't give opp D that horizontal stretch.


No, but if you but Lee in the shotgun with a single back and 4 WRs you'll see that defense spread the frick out.

I mean, you are putting precedence on what Lee did at the end of the game (which was nice), but without JJ scampering 83, we lose the game.

You can't just eliminate one thing and favor the other just because it fits your argument.

Didn't Lee get effed over by numerous penalties that killed drives




This has been fricking us all year. Guys like Barksdale don't need to be a primary reason either.

JJ isn't a running QB, he is a QB that can run. He seems to be more effective outside the pocket throwing and passing, but isn't going to thrive in an offense that LSU runs.

LSU isn't going to beat UF and Bana if JJ's passing game doesn't improve. No shot.

So much fail it's not even funny

I can't fathom the sheer amount of stupidity it must take to convince yourself that you've discovered a strong point of Jefferson here.

Anyone who disagrees with this is crazy
Passing is not everything.

Jefferson forces the defense to worry about more weapons than Lee.

When Lee is QB, LSU tends to get yards through the air. When Jefferson is QB, LSU tends to get yards on the ground.

You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts.

I don't disagree.

But he gives you that dynamic. Lee does not.

better stat would be time of possesion while each was in the game. JJ's offense goes 3 and out faster than anything ive seen, plus JJ had more series than did JL if i remember correctly

JJ has some stronger points, but people are going way overboard to convince other people that their "pet" is the superior QB.

I am not convinced either is, yet. But the passing game has got to improve one way or another and JJ isn't getting it done.

Yes, because when Jefferson is QB, the defense is more spread out and has to worry about more weapons than when Lee is QB.

This is so stupid. You have too small of a sample size to know that trend would continue for the duration of a full game.

All it takes is one 30 yard scamper to throw everything off kilter. You can't possibly be suggesting that the guy that is capable of moving the ball through the air is somehow crippling the running game.

All I have done is provide stats to prove points.

All you have done is call me stupid and say "Lee looked better!."

Congrats, if that makes you feel better.
