Same thing was said before JR's last season here. I remember all the rantabulous posters who thought Flynn would beat out Russell.

that was funny... flynn had a good game against miami, and everyone was in a uproar:

"Flynn needs to start over jamarcus!"

That's right, Flynn starting over the #1 overall NFL draft pick.

I agree.

The biggest diff with most of our opinions here is that some of you have seen all you need to see from JJ.

I havent. ... 2 starts, 2 good first halves, 2 very mediocre 2nd halves... If you dont want to take my word for it go look it up.. cant argue with FACTS.

The 2 games he started were MEANINGLESS.
They didnt have a fraction of pressure or implications that those JL started had. I dont undestand why some of you choose to totally OVERLOOK that.???

FWIW, whether you like it or not the score will be ZERO-ZERO going in this spirng and fall, nobody(coaches) is gonna say "Oh JL threw some ints last year" so JJ is automatically ahead of him... you dont keep score that way. thats not the way competition works.

As a SOPH colt mcoy threw 18 picks... as a JR he threw 6. Im not saying JL and CM are equal, Im just proving the point that IMPROVEMENT from first yr under the fire to the next happens, and to count JL out now is wrong.

I expect J.J. and J.L. to be fighting it out for the starting QB spot with Shepard coming in for special situations.

Due to J.J's lack of experience, the Florida's and Bama's of the SEC will try to take away what J.J. was successful at last year and make him do things he is not so comfortable with.

We will struggle at QB this year unless J.L. can take advantage of last year's experience and play to his full potential.

J.J. is probably a year away in terms of knowing the playbook and our receivers.

I still can't figure out why anyone would choose to start lee over jefferson...

So if Lee totally outshines Jefferson in spring, fall practice we should start Jefferson regardless, based solely on Lees play from last year??? Wow.

We will struggle at QB this year

how so?

Not what Miles said ,both have a chance to start.

---

Yea he said Russll and Jordan do, he really didnt mention Lee til the very end where he was like "oh yea we have him too...."

Reading defenses in the SEC takes time. Throwing J.J.--a virtual redshirt freshman--against the Florida's and Bama's of the SEC is not a recipe for success.

Our best chance for consistently good QB play this year is J.L. due to his greater experience playing against SEC defenses.

I dont even know what to say to this. Its so dumb. Why throw a QB who did nothing special last year under the pressure another shot to screw a season over? Put in the one that played great in the bowl game, and made us look like a top 15 team, atleast.
