It'll be a cold day in hell if Miles thinks he can win an NC with Jefferson at QB. That guy couldn't decipher a defense if he was facing 9 guys on the field.
And he won't win one with Mett either.
We can argue about who should be starting QB all day long. But the facts are every team that has won a BCS Championship, the starting QB was a Junior or Senior. You have to go back to 1992 to find a team that won a championship with a soph.
When you look at the facts, this team has a better chance of winning it with JJ as the starter then Mett. Not saying it can't happen, but the percentages are greatly in favor of a junior or senior qb starting for a BCS championship team.

Seniority > talent
Because the myth that Miles starts seniority over talent was basically annihilated the last 2 seasons.

OK, but are the chances better with JJ this year or with Mett as a 2nd year starter next year ? It's not like we're loaded with Sr talent and nothing coming behind them for next year.

I think the two veterans (Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee) still have an advantage with the understanding of the offense
Am I wrong here or did we not hire a new O.C. and installing a new offense, how do they have an advantage other than being comfortable with the surrounding of LSU?

So, serious question- how does JJ look in practice? I mean, he must have been looking decent or shown something that the coaches keep hoping translates to the game. If tht's the case, and considering how emotional he seems to get in games (the faces, etc), maybe he WILL come around, once he get's control of himself.

Basically what he is saying is that Mett is an awesome talent but im going to start Jlee and Jefferson this year because they're seniors
He threw them to Fobbs and Wright...should they start ahead of Randle as well.
WTF is wrong with you people.

The only difference between Mettenberger and Newton are the 12 passes that Newton threw in 2 seasons at Florida.

Lee has a year on JJ.
How many guys ended up ahead of Murphy?
. . .and yet the myth persists.

People. . .when they say that JJ is "more comfortable with the offense", they don't mean the system itself.
They mean that JJ is more comfortable with the personnel. . .and there is much to be said about that.
But, hopefully, Mett will spend the entire off-season getting accustomed to the players.

Rich. You would be much better arguing Shep to be starting QB if this is your sample.

I dont know? Ask an NFL veteran or an NFL rookie and see who absorbs the new offense fastest.
The calls and recognition of defenses is a whole lot more important than memorizing the playbook. That is what takes time.

How is JJ and JL ahead of mett with a new OC and offense?
because they have been on the LSU football team and playing in the SEC for 3 years now. Mett has been on the LSU football team and playing in the SEC for 0 years now.

The myth that Miles has had any decisons on who started on defense over the last year is a joke.
