Something to think about since we play Auburn next...

Last year Auburn quarterback Chris Todd split time with Kodi Burns. Midway through the season he was benched and Kodi Burns played the rest of the year at QB.

2008:
Chris Todd- 903 yards 5 TDs and 6 INTs
Kodi Burns- 1050 yards 2 TDs and 7 INTs


After 2008 Kodi Burns was moved to a WR/RB/Wildcat position leaving Chris Todd, who was benched the year before, as the starter for 2009.

2009:
Chris Todd- 1363 yards 12 TDs and 1 INT

Kodi Burns has been used successfully in his new position and has thrown 1 TD (3 for 8 passing) and rushed for 4 TDs. He lines up at Wildcat, RB, WR and throws on reverse passes and other trick plays. This has worked pretty well for Auburn this year.


I am just posting this to show that QBs do improve and just because someone started at the end of last year doesn't mean he should be starting now. I am in no way suggesting that Jefferson switches positions although I think it would be interesting to see both JJ and JL on the field at the same time. Shepard should also be used more in the way that Auburn uses Kodi Burns.
