Lee's developement this year

He's gotten better every year, with the exception of 2009 when he had serious confidence issues. There's really nothing to explain.

All 3 plus knowing that he didn't have to worry about getting benched for JJ if he made the slightest mistake.

I really believe he will blow it up against wva once the run is established.

That's kinda where I was going with #3

Or do you have something else?

I think they'll give him more each week but so far the offense has been very closely managed. I've said for 2 years that both QB's would be more effective with a play action passing game, and we're seeing that play out now. Basically Lee is benefiting from a good running game, a good line, the opposing D stacking the box, thus leaving good receivers in single coverage.

In addition, I do give Lee credit for continued hard work, getting in better shape and stepping up his leadership after he took over for JJ.

The confidence of not having to look over his shoulder or have the coach prefer someone else.

Does wonders for confidence and patience.

not sure about that, after half a game against NWST many fans were calling for Mett to start...

needs to clean up his footwork but he's much improved prob from an offensive system that better suits him and working with krags as well as age/maturity

Without confidence, the other 2 would not show as much. Have to have confidence. So far he seems to posess enough of it to be successful. Once he lost his confidence in 2008, he became rattled.
