I would rather JJ play nearly the whole game. Honestly I don't want Lee to get injured before the AU game.

winning at the last second when we should have won by much more isn't exactly working out just fine,
That had nothing to do with the QB rotation. That had to do with turnovers and special teams mistakes.

keep trying to justify it all you want, but the facts don't lie.

each QB started 5 drives. Lee's drives ended with 4 TD's and 1 punt. While Jefferson's led to 1 INT, 3 punts and a FG. with the interception being very costly.

How do you know that? Can you see the alternate universe where Lee started and played the whole game? Im not trying to be a smartass, im just trying to point out the potential difference.

Its totally possible that swapping QBs kept the game too close, which would allow a single mistake like a return for a TD to nearly decide the game. What if Lee played more, and scored more, and that special teams mistake was irrelevant?

Of course we'll never know, but right now the evidence supports it in that Lee moves the ball better and makes less mistakes. If you extrapolate his stats in to additional drives (that JJ got), I believe the Florida game is decided much earlier. Thats just a hunch based on what ive seen. Id like someone to crunch the numbers if he/she has more time than i do.

Far better than not winning at the last second. I'm happy LSU has shown they have that ability. Turnovers and a kick return kept Florida in the game. Otherwise, LSU was dominant.

I think Lee should be the starter and play most of the games, but this is going overboard. Jefferson was in the game and scored 2 touchdowns on two drives so those technically aren't all Lee's. They kicked two field goals. Not one.

both of Jefferson's TD runs were after Lee brought us into the redzone. care to guess how many times Jefferson led us to the red zone?

Just don't get JL hurt. Would not bother me if he doesn't play a down this week as long as he's there for Auburn.

So it's whoever got us into the red zone that gets all the credit for the drive huh?

I disagree. Jefferson's drives mustered 6 points. Lee's drives put 27 points on the board. If Lee gets Jefferson's snaps in that game we score at least two more TDs.

Were any of the drives by JJ three and outs? I thought one was, but I was also way too drunk to remember for sure

It's not even the red zone. Lee got us down inside the 5 so yes, the credit goes to Lee.

If Lee had been the QB for the drive that JJ threw the INT, its possible Lee could have scored a FG or TD. Thats a 10-17 point swing over JJ.


While I don't disagree with the premise of your post, I fail to see how 1 interception resulted in a 17 point swing.
