for anybody bashing JL, you have no clue how hard the QB position is to play. True JL stunk it up out there, but he was only a freshman. Just because he knew the playbook did not mean he was going to come out and WOW everybody. If i had a guess, most of the people bashing him are out of shape and could never play the QB position. I doubt anybody on this board ever held a scholarship offer from any major D1 program. The kid was a FRESHMAN. Dont expect him to come out gunslinging the ball around and throwing 3 td's a game. What miles and crowton should have done is simplify the playbook in the same manner in which they are now doing with the defense. He should have come out throwing short quick passes that got him in a comfort zone. he never got comfortable in games because he had everyone going against him before the game even started. We didnt need him to win games this season. Just avoid the mistakes. I think if the LSU "fans" would have shown him a little confidence, he might have shown some in himself. I was one of the fans who would bash lee, but being a former QB i know there is a lot of pressure on him to play well, because there is no harder position to play. In the case that JJ does go down, you will be happy to know we have someone with experience like Lee. He had no prior game experience prior to this season. Practice is not the same thing as the game no matter how you look at it. So give Lee a break and cheer for him to be a good backup next year.

Not again. Please make it stop.

Now I have no choice but to point out that, JL was the 4th highest rated freshman QB in the country at the time of his injury. The 3 before him did not play in bcs conferences.

source: espn quarterback rankings

Just stop. Please stop.

That said, I think JJ is also a tremendously talented player and am thrilled he's at LSU.

Amen Brother!
Some of these ranters think they could play better than Lee at QB, and coach better than Miles. Quit trying to relive the glory days a-holes!

Why can't we bash Jarrett Lee? He truly sucked. So what if I can't play QB, it's not my job to, it's his - and he did a terrible job at it.

In the same respect, why is it okay for everyone to bash whoever the President is, knowing full well that they can't do that job or handle the pressure? It's the same way. I'm sure almost all of you people saying stop bashing Lee have bashed either Bush or Obama at one time in your life. So stop crying about people bashing Lee when you're in the same "boat" for bashing somebody else.

I don't see how so many people are so defensive of Lee when he played so horribly. Jefferson is clearly the better QB, and that showed in the Bowl game.

Maybe because bashing a kid who is playing for YOUR football team is a fricking douche-bag move??

Yeah I agree he did bad. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't start... but do honestly believe that there is zero room for him to improve?

ETA: Just for the record, I am a supporter of LSU football and I do believe JJ is the better game manager, and will be the starter for 2010.

Maybe some of us do actually know how hard the position is to play.....Do we still not have a right to bash?

Ive asked this several times, but I would love to know how many of these JL bashers even went to LSU, or are most of these guys just the beloved piggyback fans? Not accusing anyone on this thread, but i fricking hate fans that never went to LSU.

FWIW, I'm just as tired of "stop bashing JL" threads as I am of any bashing.

I'm just not for bashing anybody. But it was the same thing when Jrock was a sophomore. The rantards were out in full force saying he will never be a good SEC quarterback. I actually had a list of all the anti-Jamarcus posters on my old computer.

If you want to see "bashing" of a QB, take a time machine back to 1999-2001 and see Josh Booty talk amongst LSU fans.

Just because there are a few negatively obnoxious people and a majority of LSU fans that see JL as the backup QB does not mean there is an epidemic of Lee bashing.
