re: QB debate should center around one thing: Offensive Production

I've said for awhile that I would gladly take JL with a decent defense. I think he is a better all around QB. Mistakes happen, we didn't have the defense to be able to overcome that in 08, but we do now.

ETA: If JJ starts and leads us to victory I will be ecstatic. I think JL should be given the opportunity to play first, though.

CS stats were effected by teams stacking the box, due to the fact that JJ hasn't shown to be a deep ball threat.

This. But without reading past the first few posts in this thread, I have no doubt that TheDoc and his fellow JJ apologist Rooad are in here touting JJ's passing percentage for all the only-throw-five yards-when-the-receiver-is-wide-arse-open-passes that he completed. If you only throw the afore-mentioned passes, taking sacks the rest of the time, it's easy to pad your stats. I have said it before-I was mad at the 2008 picks, but at least it was offset by some big plays, while the entire 2009 season was just numbing and nauseating to watch. Give me the high risk/high reward, with our improved defense, rather than a repeat of last year's slow, painful death. Knowing what kind of playmakers we have, and watching them running wide open while JJ is fading back into yet another sack is not something I care to see anymore of.
