Jefferson is too cautious....

at times. I like the kid and was happy to say the least when he was finally given a chance last year. I was VERY optimistic about our season and figured our defense would be young and still learning. As it stands, our defense is MUCH improved but the offense is HORRENDOUS!!!
I think JJ is under the mindset that as long as he is not turning the ball over, he is being effective. Game manager is the perfect title for this kid because he is just not ready to win a game for this team. Last year if JL had this defense, he would have fared much better in the win column. JJ has the security in knowing that the "D" will keep this team in games. There is a thing as being too careful.
Both QB's present a set of problems but I feel that JL should be given an opportunity at at least a few "meaningful" snaps. After all, he was contemplating transferring and the coaching staff talked him out of it. Why keep him if you're not going to use him. He threw a lot of picks last year but he did throw for a good bit of yards and LSU did move the ball.

Have we considered that the coaches may have preached to him since taking over for lee, that if the play is not there don't force it.

Good post. I agree with you 100%.

Turnovers represent 50 yards of offense, not sure what a pic 6 reps, but so far we're 5-1 and played much more competitive game against Florida and Georgia.

I would like to see how Jefferson would play, how the offense would look IF WE WOULD JUST CALL A PLAY AND RUN IT. I hate the BS of looking to the sidelines and waiting for the play - I think it messes with Jefferson's head and doesn't work well.

JJ would drop so far back for a pass and when the pocket closed in, he refused to step up so the defensive ends were getting at him most of the night. I think the coaching staff know what he's capable of so they limit his throwing. if JJ has freedom to pass when ever and he doesn't during a game like against Florida, most OCs would have put in another QB. JL has to have another chance. JJ seems to be regressing.
