re: Lee on a shorter leash with Les

It still floors me that people were freaking out over this when we were playing western kentucky.

Freaking out was putting it lightly. We had people posting that they were selling their tickets for Arkansas, people melting down over "fairness and equality", one guy said lee should transfer , some people saying the 10-0 coach and most successful coach in team history should be fired, even had one person go as far as saying that they hope lsu loses against Arkansas to prove a point to miles

All because their favorite player didn't start against western Kentucky

A lot of "fans" would rather be right than see their team win

Sad really

Agreed.

he threw 2 picks in 11 snaps!

You conveniently left out the 100+ previous snaps where he did not throw one. Might have been 200 snaps.

what does that have to do with him throwing 2 in 11 in the biggest game thus far? If he would have thrown 2 picks in 11 snaps against State, WVU, etc, he would have been pulled for Mett.

But he actually did play pretty well against State, WVU, etc. didn't he?

In case you hadn't noticed, Ole Miss defense =/= Alabama defense. He'll do fine.

Was it not JL's first play after coming back in that he threw the second pick?

Why did the coaches pick a pass play on first down for Lee? Would it had been possible that Saban had his defense reading the formation for a first down pass? Why make Lee throw there instead of a run? I do not recall if it was play action even. I have not seen the replay.

Lee was throwing into the teeth of the Alabama defense from his own end on his first play back in as quarterback. I would not fault Lee as much as the coaches if this were in fact not a play action play. Just asking for the defensive backs to look for the play.

With two weeks to prep I would be certain that Saban and his defensive coordinator would recognize a formation for Lee as Lee had started 8 games prior to this. Sometimes the defense wins within the game.

Do not beat your quarterbacks to the ground because a team gets to them within the game. We still win the games. That is what we do.

It's like, I can't read through another one. I clicked on it, but after the first few words it was slkdhvrn98hr p8qrhpvanvnP08FH

Not sure JJ is safer when he had far more turnovers and far less touchdowns last year than Lee has had this year. I don't care who starts or plays more, just win.

I think, like, Alabama's pass defense is pretty good. Like, #1 or something.

Just like our defense goat-fricks offenses, Bama's does too. Even to good QBs.

One of our QBs nearly broke the school record for most completions without a INT this season. Who wuz that?

I know what you mean, I read your post. Like I said, I put a lot of weight into how you see things, particularly football. I didn't mean to make it sound like you were bashing the kid. I just read it wrong, I guess.

It wasn't meant to be a personal attack on you, although with the way I phrased it, it could have been interpreted that way. My apologies if that's how you took it.
