Best thing I have seen Lee do is when he just gave a reassuring smile to RR after he dropped the TD pass. It said, that aint nothin man. We still got this and you are still our number one receiver. Blow it off. We will win.

That's the kind of thing a leader does when the chips are down. I am grateful that Lee took his lumps as a RS freshmen. CLM is right. He was baptized by fire and has progressed to a real leader which our team desparatedly needed.

This isn't a QB debate. Lee is a leader off and on the field. Lee will be a leader when other QB's are taking us down the field in mop up duty.

Even when Lee was the backup I used him as an example for my teenage son " On how to persevere "
His success has cemented this idea into my son's head.

I love football.

I like your way of thinking. He is a great leader. Last year I went to the Florida game as a student sat on the third row off the field right behind the team. Man it really pissed me off to watch JJ bitch at the receivers. The guy just has a bad attitude.

Miles answered that he will keep Lee as his starter as we move forward and that it would be irresponsible for him to do otherwise. This got an applause from the crowd. Miles went on to say that it is also important to realize that Jefferson brings a skill set that will allow him to play some and be a plus to the team, but that right now it's Lee's opportunity.

Best thing I've seen from Lee was against MSU. He was going to throw a pass out in the flats and went to throw and at the last second, pulled it back and lofted it over the defenders hands. a couple of yrs ago that would have definitely been a pick 6.

All that this kid has been through, the INT's, being demoted, and pretty much being thoroughly humiliated could have made a lesser person quit! This kid has proven he is made of great substance, so it would be a great story to see him finish his LSU career by winning a NC title!

yep his attitude is horrible because he wants his receivers to do better.
gotcha.

Exactly what is this supposedly invaluable "skill set" that only Jefferson possesses?

I think that it exists only in Miles' own mind.

When Miles says stuff like this:

"I know that this is his team," Miles said. "He misses the opportunity to be out there practicing and improving. I know that, like his teammates, he wants to win a championship.

I get worried....still feels like he thinks JJ is the starter. Lee should have been the starter all along with JJ coming off the bench. It's not exactly surprising to a defense when you bring a pure passer off the bench. Leadership, patience, are running this show now. I just hope it doesn't get messed with.

he yells at them in situations where it clearly wasn't the receivers fault. it's not about wanting his receivers to do better, it's about him wanting his receivers to compensate for his poor passes.

Lee has earned not only immense respect for what he has perservered, but he has proven on the field that he's the guy that should be leading this team without question. It seems that Miles is sooo infatuated with JJ that he is determined to have him be way more prominent in this offense than he deserves or should be.

Bingo. There seems to be some kind of perverted obligation that we MUST start/play JJ. What's up with that? We're 4-0 with Lee improving every game, and Miles is thinking about screwing with the formula? He's sure hinting at it.

Why are we required to play JJ?? I just don't get it.

we're not...but he DOES have a skill set we may need coming up. So does Mett, if you think about it. I'm cool with that. You?

With all due respect, that's a lame excuse if I ever heard one. People need to stop riding that horse.

With Lee, we have a very respectable passing game with world class receivers and 2 stud RB's. Definitely 2 dimensional.

With JJ, it reverts to a 1 dimensional offense. Passing is virtually non-existent. Saban and Muschamp are praying for this. Believe me.

If you want to see how poor a leader that JJ is, go to you tube and click on LSU florida 2010. After a TD on the goal line, you can see Chase Clement go after JJ, and another lineman have to pull him away--also at the end of the game when LEE thre winning TD to Toliiver, everyone is jumping around, and you can see JJ just stand there--no congratulations or acknowledgement.

hmm...Lee got a chance to show performance and more or less failed. But...showed character and later got another chance and is shining (undeniably). JJ gets to perform and does well (mostly), but didn't show character (for the most part). Do we take advantage of his skills and let him have a chance to show character or not? A good general never forgets his weapons riding into battle. We may need both. Face it.

It's a wee bit late for that. You can't just go to Wal Mart and buy it off the shelf. I've said it before.... it's all about him, and at this stage of the game there's no room for that.
