You are still trying to act like Lee did not split time as the #1 in spring, summer, and fall. Hatch was not named starter until game week #1, and even then Lee was expected to see significant time.

Lee should have been heads and shoulders above Jefferson from a preparation stand point.

Miles never names his starter early, and won't again next year. It doesn't mean he doesn't know who the starter is.

Jefferson got a good look this fall, and the coaches had VERY high hopes for him. They saw something (or didn't see something) in fall and early this season to tried to redshirt him. Itwas pretty obvious to me when half the playbook dissapeared when he took over against ole missand against arkansas, the coaches still don't trust him to run the full gambit of plays.

Hopefully that changes later this month.

Sounds like a fair and valid point. Jefferson had a lot of catching up to do.

Those that think JJ can't definitively be THE man after just a few games have made some decent arguments. I think that the jury being out on JJ shouldn't automatically promote JLee to being the savior. It's still TBD on the kind of progress that he can make and whether or not he can recover from this season. He may be a tough kid and very strong mentally or he may not be. The jury is still out on him as well.

Back on point of why didn't JJ play earlier. There were a few missed opportunities, but they could all be argued one way or another reasonably.
