You guys should really consider the fact that JJ was facing a defense that was rated BEHIND LSUs!!!! And, he went 9 for 21.
I'm VERY unhappy with Miles this year. I think he stunk up the joint. That said; pretty much ANY coach who thought the backup was showing ANYTHING in practice would've given him a shot with Lee struggling as he was.
Clearly, JJ was extremely shaky in practice and let's face it, we really haven't seen anything definitive in a game to indicate thinking he wasn't ready was an absurd line of thinking.
For the comparable 1st outing numbers, you'll not that Lee was 11-22 against an AU defense rated about 45 spots ahead of Arky's defense and he was 18-27 against Miss St defense rated about 22 spots above Arky's.
There's nothing to really say that JJ wouldn't have blown arse against the best teams on our schedule and gotten his confidence shaken too.

do the words "pick" and "six" mean anything to you?

I'll agree that the numbers were not magic. How many drops did the receiving corp have(again)? Add a couple of basic catches from the drops and you have a better than par performance.
Just saying....

I do not believe Jefferson should have started at the beginning of the season, but the question was why didn't he play? The problem was he got almost no work at all versus North Texas, App. State, and Tulane (the worst decision was this game). Whether Jefferson was 100% ready was a luxury LSU could not afford this year. You had a QB (Hatch) that basicly all he does is run, in the SEC this is asking to lose your QB which is what happened. Then knowing Lee is a stationary target (and could get hurt as well which is what happened), after Hatch gets hurt you give Jefferson no valuable work in the Tulane game. I believe the coaches could have had a simple package of 6-10 plays (not just hand-offs) for Jefferson even versus Tulane. This is when I heard the most complaints. Not playing him versus Tulane was a missed opportunity. No one can deny this
