Remember Lee was BEAT OUT for the starting job last year by Andrew Hatch

Actually, Lee was leading the competition before injuring his ankle in fall practice.

I'm tired of all the "pick 6" bullshite. Pick 6's are rare as hell. He had only two that I remember as legitimate pick 6 throws, Auburn and the first one against GA. The others were down the field where our guys failed to tackle. They are anomalies. It wouldn't happen again.

But here's the real point I want to make. I'd rather have a kid at QB that is trying to make plays and isn't afraid to make mistakes than one that is petrified to make one. The reason JJ hasn't thrown more picks is because he's afraid to throw the fricking ball! At least Lee threw it. With the mental state that JJ is in right now, he's killing the team. He won't even throw it away to avoid the sack, he just takes the sack. Ridiculous. Brett Favre has led the NFL in pick 6's a few times, but I'd rather have Favre than Trent Dilfer. Give me the gunslinger, I'll live with the ramifications.

Why is everyone so convinced that if Lee plays, the exact same thing that happened last year would happen again?

In the spring game JLee didn't show improvement, he showed the same from last season.

Then there was this during fall camp...

LSU's scrimmage Saturday offered some clues -- one disquieting, the other heartening -- about how the Tigers may fare this fall in the critical area of quarterbacking. Sophomore Jordan Jefferson threw two scoring strikes to senior wide receiver Brandon LaFell, one of 40 yards and another of 2 yards, Coach Les Miles said. Sophomore Jarrett Lee, on the other hand, threw two interceptions.

Agree with all those calling for Lee to get some playing time.
As for all those posting useless reminders of how Lee threw a bunch of pic 6's last year, untill he throws a pic 6 THIS year........STFU!!!

If Lee starts this game, we are down 34-3 at halftime.

can you please elaborate or explain this comnpletely dumb arse statement. JJ is not the guy, he is completely intimidated and needs to sit out

I find it humorous and somewhat hypocritical that you attempt to defend JJ and "Diss" on JL with this pathetic reasoning.
Let’s compare! JJ played all 4 years of high school football right?
JL started playing football his sophomore year right?
Is it really fair to judge JL as hard as he has been judged on this board. From what I’ve seen of his critic’s, most have never stepped foot on a football field much less played the game. Some of the most stanch critics of JL are nothing more than over opinionated smartasses who think their opinions should be law. If you’ve never played the game, what on earth qualifies you to comment on any aspect of it? JL made some bad decisions we can all agree on that, but, get off of the kid’s back. He is just a kid that was thrown into the fire. I for one think he deserves another chance. I’m not advocating benching JJ because he seems to be struggling right now. All I’m saying is; if JL can prove himself in practice, that he has the ability to read the defense, pick up on the open receivers, throw the ball accurately and make good decisions under pressure better than JJ, then why shouldn’t he get the chance in the game?

Agreed! I wish they would create a board for those who have played at least 3 yrs of HS football and understand what it's like to get your arse busted or play in pain. Seventy five percent who post here never played organized football and are experts from watching or playing EA football. Debate would be much more relevant and and based on our collective experiences.
This board loves to make fun of players and criticize coaches.Would love to get the opinions of former Tigers and college players.
Too damn many former flute and piccalo players here.
