re: Unless J.J. gets hurt he will be the starting Q.B.

Are you talking about the opener?? Really?? Are some of y'all just that fricking blind to see that no matter what happens in the Spring JJ has earned the right to start in September. Again, REALLY???

Why is it that one of the main things that the JL bashers have in common is a lack of basic reading skills?

I did not say that JJ wouldn't start. Pretty sure I expressly said the opposite.

This thread was doomed to be retarded from the get-go.

Lots of mental midgets on here can't read between the lines with Les Miles, even after 5 years of hearing him speak. It's downright scary.

do you think we're set at QB or will we struggle at the position next season?

I’ve said it before. We will struggle again this year. Teams now have film on JJ. And he will go through all of the growing pains that anyone would as a new starter, especially as a young starter. (Just as JL did last year.) Also a big difference playing Florida, Bama and such as compared to a bad Arkansas team and an over rated GT team. If you don’t believe that and think that he will play like a Heisman canidate all year, then well, what can I say to that?

I think JL will improve greatly to this year. Just as I would expect JJ to improve greatly to the next year if he plays all season. I really don’t care who starts as long as they are the best we have.

If your team is set up right, you hand off the starting job to a junior or RS junior, so that they have time to learn, adjust and gain experience leading up to being the starter. Perfect example was RP. He was being properly groomed to be the starter in time. (Had he stayed, JL or JJ or whoever would have been properly groomed to be the next starter.)

The problems JL had last year and the problems that JJ (yes he will have many) this year are a result of RP screwing up the normal flow of having players ready. He is who I blame our QB problems on. Kid had the world in his hands and threw it away. Hope for his future he gets it right.

not always.

but you'd be silly to believe that there aren't STILL people in louisiana who are LSU fans in 2009 who'd rather have a white guy for a QB over a black guy based on race alone.

Why do y'all have such a hard-on for JL? Just wondering. I try not to cut the kid down like most of the other idiots on this board but when I saw JJ look off the safety in the two games he played that was enough for me. He obviously sees something that Lee either just can't or he doesn't understand what the defenses are doing. Either way, give me JJ in September.

---

Can't speak for others, but my problem with this sort of opinion is that you and many others assume that because JJ had two good games, that he will necessarily be better this year. Those two games may have been the peak of JJ's ability. JL may have vastly improved in the off season. You can't decide who was the better QB based SOLELY on last season. Heck, if their roles were reversed and JJ started the season with JL coming on in the last few games it's not crazy to think that JL would have performed better.

All I'm saying is that JL has a ton of talent and has the ability to improve over what was seen in his FRESHMAN season. I will support whoever lines up behind center, but I think that most of the rant will not support JL if he legitimately wins the starting job with superior play.

fwiw, I would prefer to see JJ win the job.

Really? Do you honestly believe that y'all are blinded by hatred of Lee's race? Do you think that is what makes people like Raparoot incapble of grasping the reality that no one knows the future?

That is the funniest thing I've heard in a LONG time. The idea of one of y'all suggesting that someone ELSE is the one with a "hard on" for a sophomore QB is hilarious. Y'all are the ones insisting that it is absolutely impossible for a 2 1/2 game performance that only produced two good halves (1st half vs. Arky and GT) to mean anything other than he will be a starter the next fall. Not that he's "more likely", or "in the lead", but ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL. The opening post emphasized the claim that it is a FACT. That is to say IT CANNOT BE POSSIBLE that anything change from December to September. THAT is what the rational, sane people are pointing out as absurd. If anyone was suggesting that there is little chance, or less chance for Lee to win the starting spot, then there would be no argument. But no. The absolutely stupid morons populating this board are so obsessed with resentment for Lee (according to Doc, apparently motivated by racism) that they have to insist that it CANNOT BE POSSIBLE. And that is absolutely stupid.

Good to see that at least one person on the Rant sees things rationally.

some fans actually think that Coach Miles will split the QB duties this season between JJ and JL? are you kidding me? it's 100% positively JJ's job unless he gets hurt. It's going to be JJ starting and taking almost all the snaps this year with Shepard taking a few just to add some trickery and give him some experience.
