re: Why didn't Jordan Jefferson play earlier in the season?

if JJ was pretty damn good against Arkansas, what was Lee against Miss State? Amazing?

I think Lee played well in that game. He unfortuntely did not improve at all during the course of the season and to anyone it is obvious that Jordan Jefferson has more upside. Jefferson did not make the mistakes that Lee has made over and over this season. He gave his team a chance to win and his coaches and defense blew it. You can;t sit there and say that the play calling in the second half was not shite*y. They handcuffed the kid instead of just letting him play. They did the same thing to him against ole miss. When we were down big at the end of the first half they just let him come in and run the offense like it should be abd then in the second half they got over conservative again. I'm not saying that Jordan Jefferson is the second coming of Joe Montana or John Elway, but you can't say that he didn't play well and show more potential than Lee has shown all year. If he wasn't ready to come in and contribute earlier this year then that's the coaches' fault. He was the state 5A championship qb that ran a spread offense and never lost a game as a starter. I refuse to beleive that this kid was not ready to contribute to some extent since the beginning of the season. You may disagree but I think most don't.
