re: Rank these LSU QB’s

Anthony Jennings was much better in 2016 vs Bama than JJ was in 2011-12 but we don’t rank him ahead of JJ because of that. It’s a bad standard using a poor performance just because we won the game.

008 - Lee replaces JJ for the 2nd half of Troy game trailing by 28 points. Greatest comeback in LSU history

Uh, due respect to J.Lee for his part in the comeback, but he started the game and was the QB when Troy was running up that lead. He even threw a pick 6.

Jefferson at that point was a freshman that hadn't really played. He only got in cuz Lee was kinda sucking.

That’s also incorrect and if you put their stats as a starter side by side Lee’s are better not only individually but winning percentage also, and that’s counting the 5-6 games Lee had to come in and win games Jefferson was losing including at the time the largest comeback in school history when Jefferson nearly got us blown out by Troy.

Didn’t Lee start the Troy game? I don’t remember honestly but know he threw a pick six and was doing terrible, if anything he bailed himself out… against Troy. JJ bailed out a terrified Lee in 2011. Lee wanted zero part of Bama. His eyes were wider than someone with a gun pointed at their head during that game.

Well I don’t think I have to explain why those are totally different scenarios

How so? You don’t wanna go by numbers or win %, you want to go by one game so you can’t dismiss the comparison.

I watched those teams back then. Lee was absolutely terrible and reverted back to his previous deer in the headlights look when playing against Bama. He was scared shitless

For a quarter. You can’t say the guy who’s lower by every metric including team ppg and win % is better because the team won a game where he scored no TDs and accounted for 2 first downs. You’re entitled to your opinion and they’re close enough to where you have an argument but this particular argument doesn’t hold water.

I actually think overall the roster could be better than last years. McMahon will have to adjust to the step up in conf competition, every smaller school coach does but I think we have a chance to make the tourney. I think having some of his guys is gonna make the transition smoother and probably get us over some non conf trip ups we’d normally have with a new coach. With the QBs I think it’s either Nuss or Brennan.

Brennan is talented man. Some of those throws against Mizzou were freaking lasers. I dont believe in him as much as some but if he starts I trust BK and think he will be very good. And if it’s Nuss, I trust that too, he threw some dimes in the Spring game.
