re: At what point did you totally give up on JL this year.

I really gave him the benefit of the doubt most of the year being a freshman and all. I was at the alabama game,sitting on the 30 yardline,when on third down and three he rolled to my side, he could have walked for 10 yards but instead threw the ball out of bounds.

Precisely the moment when I said that he cannot be entrusted with leading the team - ever.

THis demonstrated total lack of football instinct - and I don't think that is something that can be taught or coached. If you don't have any instinct for the game, you cannot be expected to learn it or lead others towards excellence.

And as I recall, he only need 3 or 4 yards for the first down. Regardless of distance, I do know that the first down was there without doubt and he threw the ball away.
