Are you comparing JJ to Tebow as a Freshman?


I am comparing JJ coming on in goal line situations for LSU in the same manner that Tebow came on in goal line situations for Chris Leak and Florida. That is the exact comparison I am making. Any further comparisons are of your own creation.

I don't think for a second that he actually meant what he said.


I agree, which makes the timing and reasons all the more confounding to me.. The only rationale that makes since.. He wanted a certain sect of the team to know that Jefferson wasn't simply going to waste away on the bench.. He wanted the players to hunker down instead of allowing this to fester in the locker room.. Having the players upset/mad at a few fans is better than a divided locker room..

Coach Miles, if you read this I want you to know that I really support and respect you. However, pulling a guy who has led you to a #1 ranking, on the first drive of the game, for a guy who brought so much distraction to this team and has not practiced but 1 day in the last 5 weeks was, well, a huge slap in the face to JL and all of us who have dealt with this crap. Sure, play Jefferson late in the game if you have to to get some reps in, but in the first series, what kind of decision was that? The message you sent to JL, and all of us, was very poorly thought through.


How come no one booed when they let Blue make the attempt from the 2nd and short instead of Ware?

He can let this blow up or apologize to Lee. I hope JJ plays 15 snaps or so a game. But Les is in over his head if he doesn't address this now.

They don't care abt us. They jus sellin us dreams

PP7:What was that about today LSU fan, we must stick together. We WIN and LOSS together I know we are better then that.

Is he totally unaware of the qb controversy? Can someone email him a link to tiger rant, facebook, etc?


And if you think this place represents the MAJORITY of LSU fans,...then you are loosing it..the only controversy is with the fanbase,..the coach, players are together as one...

Yet you leave out many different factors. No one is bitching about JJ coming in for goal line. It's the perceived lack of respect for Lee and JJ's attitude since he's been at LSU and particularly last year.

Whether fair or not, the QB debacle we had last season did not sit well with most fans.

In the end, Les is going to do what he wants. I really don't give a shite for his getting upset with the fans. They were wrong for booing, but if Les is so naive that he didn't see that coming, then he's as stupid as many fans of other teams think he is. (I don't believe he is, but I think he just doesn't give a shite).

Josh Johns played and I heard his name announced after he made a tackle

You, Mr. dkreller need to get your stats straight before you call somebody else dumb. That tackle was made by Josh Downs, sir, not Josh Johns. Josh Johns, and his 1 day of practice, was not allowed to play even a snap unlike Mr. Jefferson and his 1 day of practice.
You gotta love wrong people who cal others dumb.

Then these fans need to learn what a formation sub is. Les wasn't slighting Lee. He was playing a percentages play call where Jefferson has made that conversion in the past. And he wants to re-integrate Jefferson into the offense. It seemed to have worked. Two birds with one stone. I promise you Lee was not slighted in this.

LINK to current debate? There is no debate. Lee is the starter.

Les is going to do what he feels is best for the team. He is the HC, and that is his right. At some point we need to trust his instinct, and his history to lead us as a unit. And if he calls for a formation sub on any particular 4th and goal from the 1, then we need to support him, as he represents MY team, my school, and my alma mater.

Les has stated many times in print and video that he doesn't give a shite what the fans think. This is our coach.

Why don't all the fans stay home next Saturday so we don't hurt the poor little players whose ego's are hurt by fans booing JJ. The MOFO didn't care about the fans when he was kicking the shite out of somebody. frick JJ and his posse.

Why boo at all. If it was JJ you booed,how is it his fault and what did you expect him to do. Should he have refused to go out on the field.If it was Miles or his decision to play JJ I don't get that either. It seemed like a decent call considering down,distance and personnel.
If you were concerned about fairness to Lee I don't think that was a problem either. Lee seemed fairly excited about his teammate scoring.The play worked and it was a good call.
I usually don't care that much whether or not people boo but I have to say I was a little embarrassed. People sometimes are misguided in their emotions and this appears to be one of those times.Sorry JJ and LSU for the poorly thought out actions of some fans.
