STOP the QB nonsense

I think what's most interesting to me is that the very same people who were on this post last year calling for the removal of Lee are now the loudest proponents of bringing him back. It's absolutely ludicrous. There are two indisputable facts that everyone here needs to accept:

1. Jarret Lee may have been a Freshman last year, but that doesn't change the fact that he threw 16 Int's, 13 TD's, and a total of 1,873 yards. If you average those numbers over 13 games, it equates to 144 yards per game, 1.2 INT's per game, and exactly 1 TD per game. So when you have nothing else to logically guide you but facts, how in the hell can you argue for putting him back in the starting position? What brilliance do you have to offer that can counter statistics that are this telling?

2. Jordan Jefferson is a phenomenal athlete, and a proven winner. He was 21-0 as a starter in high school, was first team all state, and led his team to the 5-A state championships as a senior. He is quick, and has a very strong arm. He does, however, have much to learn. He needs to check down receivers before committing. He needs to see the entire field, as opposed to focusing on one WR or one section. He needs to develop stronger leadership skills. He needs to better manage his internal throwing clock. But these are all very teachable skills. Athleticism is not.

The lack of productivity we're seeing out of Jefferson right now is due to poor coaching - poor QB coaching, and poor O-Coordinator coaching. It has nothing to do with his ability, athleticism, or drive. If the right changes can be made, and the kid can actually be guided by the coaches, he'll get the job done.

But in the interim, stop arguing that the solution is to revert back to a PROVEN mistake. Lee is undoubtedly a good kid, but that doesn't make him the best option for leading that offense. Look at the facts...they never lie.
