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

did you watch the game at all?

yes. i have watched ever game this season at least twice. some more than others

do you close your eyes when he's on the field?

only when i blink

quote:

he threw away passes, instead of forcing it.

of course he did

so (in their first game and a half as THE GUY in the sec) JJ throwing them away and all his drops leads to him completing less than 50% of his passes

AND

(in their first game and a half as THE GUY in the sec) including the pick 6's AND forcing passes Lee still completed a higher % @ 59%

hmmm...what are you missing there?

quote:

---

he threw away passes, instead of forcing it.

hence no picks, or pick 6's

---

no picks? he threw one against ole miss

his recievers were also alot more "covered" because he didn't anticipate many routes very well. he waited on his recievers to get open instead of anticipating the throw, which led to him hanging on tothe ball longer, protection breaking down and either a) scrambling b) sack or c) throwing it away

any way you look at it, he led LSU to 9 4th quarter yards against the worst defense in the SEC

throwing it away is great. not throwing int'sis also great, BUT the bottom line is moving the ball, scoring points and winning games is what matters and largely, JJ didn't do it very well in his first SEC game and a half

i'll take a smart QB with a lower % completion rate

how the frick do you know JJ is smarter?

half the plybook went out the window when he because the guy, but he gets no blame for that?
