re: would Miles let JL transfer to a SEC school?

Just would like to point out the obvious fact to some of you ignorant LSU fans. JL was a redshirt freshman, who was thrown to the wolves of the SEC before his time. For someone who believes that JL is the worst QB ever to play at LSU, compare his stats to the rest of the good SEC quarterbacks in their first years.

Peyton Manning 1994
89/144 1141 11 TD 6 INT 61.8% completion

Eli Manning 2000
16/33 170 0 TD 1 INT 48.5%

Mathew Stafford 2006 (#1 Draft Pick in 2009)
135/256 1749 7 TD 13 INT 12 Sacks 52.7 %

Jarrett Lee 2008
143/269 1873 13 TD 16 INT 8 Sacks 53.2%

Wow compared to other sec quarterbacks who play in the NFL, Jarrett Lee doesn't look so bad for being thrown to the wolves, maybe some people should look at stats and not dwell on the 6 INT's for TD's and actually look at the yardage and how he helped us come back to beat Troy, Auburn, etc. yet not to take anything away from Jefferson, he has done well enough not to turn the ball over, but far from excellent has he been, especially with the fact that he is supposed to be the more talented running QB and still has been sacked 23 times this year compared to JL's 8 sacks! the common theme would be to utilize the talent we have on the team and allow JJ to see how the defense reacts to situations and have both QB's work together such as Chris Leak and Tim Tebow in Tebow's first title run.

Thatd be wonderful if Les would actually do that but he wont. When Lee had to run the 2 min offense the guy was money. We saw this in the Aub and Troy games. But when he is under center and had too much time to think about everything thats when he started to break down.

With the receivers we have right now Id love to see Lee go in the 2 min offense the entire game. Id be like the old days of Spurriers "fun n gun" offense. Plus itd wear down defenses and not allow them to make alot of substitutions which could cause some great mismatches. But thatd be too simple and make too much sense right?

JJ WAS handed the starting position by Miles last year and everyone knows it. Could you imagine the backlash we wouldve heard all year long if Lee was named the starter at the beginning of the year? Itd be worse than it already is now. Miles is doing what he has to do in order to keep the fan base happy and barely win games.

(JJ WAS handed the starting position by Miles last year and everyone knows it)

Someone left me out the loop!!! DAMM

Very few guys have transferred to comparable schools from LSU because they are usually not good enough to play here (or have gotten in trouble).

Keeping in mind that Lee would only have one year of eligibility left, I don't see why he would transfer within the FBS.

bullshite it does, especially with the new rules cutting down on the plays the last few years.

Strictly your opinion.

That's not it at all. It's because YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. You are advocating playing an inferior player over a superior one in a close, SEC game for the sole purpose of preparing for something that may never even happen anyway. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me

I highly doubt there is much of a quality difference between JJ and Lee.

Oh, I agree here for sure. I just think winning the current game is infinitely more important than getting somebody ready fora possible "worst case" scenario. And so far the coaches think Jefferson gives us the best chance to do that.

Jefferson will never be a good qb. Hes like a Jamarcus Russel all looks and no play

I disagree. Well, Jamarcus was a helluva college player, JJ could be as well. He has a great upside, just don't think we will see it this year.

Don't know if he has the potential NOW to win vs the Alabamas and FLoridas. Some day, he could. He has potential.

Tell your mom I said good night!!
