What do you make of this quote from JJ?

"It was second-and-5, with under a minute to go, and Charles is a big, power back," Jefferson said. "I recommended we run it. I didn't want to pass the ball in that situation and throw a pick that would keep us from getting points."
Is this managing the game or is this attitude what is holding the offense back? Just curious as to how everyone would interpret this.

We got both from the same article

After looking at the play UGA was clearly thinking PASS PASS PASS. The kid is smart and knew exactly what to do. If Crowton lets him pick his own play like that then Crowton's either really stupid or he has ALOT of confidence in his QB's decisions.

He was giving props to both Jasper and Scott. He knew that Scott could hold onto the ball, and that Jasper could nail it from that distance. We only needed the FG.
He was managing the ball and thus the game. Hats off to the young man.

I saw this on ESPN, I kinda was a little disappointed by it. Who wants to hear their starting QB saying he doesn't want the ball in his hands, with the game on the line, because he is worried he might throw a pick. I like JJ & I think he is doing some good things but that statement makes me doubt his "moxy" a little. Hey, maybe he is a fortune teller & saw the future, Scott busting it for 32 yrds & a TD. Ok, I'll take a QB who can see the future over one with moxy....TIGERS WIN TIGER WIN TIGERS WIN!!!

Mind you before we get carried away about this quote, we were already in field goal position so he was speaking on the worst case senerio

At first glance, it could be read as a negative but if your know football, what he said was dead on and had nothing to with the players or his abilities. It was a smart coach style call.
You only need a FG to win. Dont throw the ball and give the defense a chance to pick it off, no matter who the qb is.
Very impressive actually.
Good job JJ.

Its called the qb is in the game and has a feel for what defense is doing and all qb's do this.

Does this mean that it has been Jefferson holding Crowton back?

Good strategy, but I admit, I was scared to death at the thought of trying a field goal with the prospect of AJ Green lining up in the middle of the field and jumping up to block it.

great call, we were in FG range. the TD was icing on the cake.
Posted on 10/4/09 at 9:05 am to MandevilleLSUTiger
The guys stood in there, made play after play keeping us in the game and this is what people do? Question his leadership?
Posted on 10/4/09 at 9:22 am to MandevilleLSUTiger
I just really wish he hadn't said that.

Y'all can spin that quote anyway you want, but a quaterback at any level of competition that is truly a team leader wants the ball in his hands in a win or loose situation. An I don't mean just handing it off.
Don't mean to knock JJ because I think he played a good game and has shown continuous improvement from game to game, but that statement has me concerned.
Bottom line is the team is 5 - 0 with JJ at quaterback this season and I hope the trend continues.

It worries me some that a quarterback does not want to throw the ball in a crucial situation.

It worked, so I say he made a pretty good decision.
