re: When will JJ be accepted by our fans?

JJ does not want to run the ball with his bum ankle.
I blame the coaches for asking him to do it, with his injury.
A lot of his woes can be attributed to the OL and play calling, plus the lack of discipline overall, that speaks directly to coaching.

That being said, he holds the ball way too long.

I don't think anyone has a problem with JJ as a person, with his skin color, or his desire as an athlete. The problem is his development as a Division 1 SEC quarterback, which I think most agree is still very raw. The kid is the 2nd youngest QB in the SEC, and has some maturing to do. Having said that, the Offensive Minds and teachers we have at LSU have not, and continue to refuse to adapt to the cards they have been dealt. Crowton's play calling @ Ole Piss is the exclamation point which accentuates my reasoning.
1) Option Plays, Roll Outs, and naked bootlegs with a QB on one wheel.
2) The lack of coordination of personnel on certain situations.
3) The predictability of plays called with certain personnel packages
4) The elimination of quick pass plays with a constant collapsing inferior line pocket.
5) The entire last drive of the Ole Piss game

I have NEVER coached football a day in my life, and I know what is being run before the ball is snapped 70% of the time. This is not JJ's fault. The best players with all of the raw talent, still need to be coached at the end of the day. The Manning Bros., Brees, Favre, all had excellent instruction along the way. THIS is the problem.

I'll take it one step further. All of the Pick "6"'s JLee threw last year, can partially be attributed to "telegraphing" his throws. No one has mentioned the fact that had the offense not been so predictable, defenses may not have been in the position to make so many of the plays. JMHO FWIW
