If you assume(a) Lee's and Mett's playbooks are identical, and (b) their execution over the course of the season will be identical... why wouldn't you prefer to play the QB who has 2+ years of eligibility left versus the QB with less than one?

NOTE: I pose the question only to hear folk's opinions. Barring injury, I am sure Lee will be the QB for the rest of the year whether everyone likes it or not.

because the one who has been here for 4 years has more experience then the one who is just starting here.

Since we can go 10-2 just running the ball, I would play the guy coming back next year. Actually helps out for recruiting when recruits know the starting QB is returning.

If their execution would be identical, there would be no reason to have a debate.

One will be back next year with experience and one will not.

So what you're saying is a senior qb should never start over a junior, and the starter should be based on how many years they have to play.

more experience


I get that. So even if you could know that both of them finish the season with 2000 yards, 14 TDS and 10 INTs, the experience of Lee gets the edge?

How many more ways can we word this Lee vs. Mett debate? NOTE: I pose the question only to hear folk's opinions.

Lee has more game experience, has been through a gauntlet during his time at LSU and stuck it all out like a champ! He has earned his starts

No, I'm just asking if everything else is equal, who do you play.

Unless you are a QB recruit and then you know you have no chance of playing.

A lot. Isn't that the point of boards like this, to debate this kind of stuff?

If you're tired of the debate, which I understand, don't click on the threads.

You play the guy coming back next year. Why in the hell would you not play the QB who will be the starter next year? Going into next year, Mett would have more experience versus anyone returning.
