Jefferson isn't showing good accuracy in this video
JL will start by 2nd half

After watching this video with an open mind, and unbiased approach I can come to certain conclusions:

1) All QB's are doing a good job getting the ball out of their hands. . .in practice.

2) Only 3 passes hit the WR in stride. . .and 2 were from Zach Lee (one from JL on the short posts). WR's had to adjust their routes for all passes on the deep routes, except for 2 thrown by Zach. . .in practice.

3) Accuracy and timing can be worked on, I wouldn't be too concerned. Pocket presence and internal clock are the more important factors to look at, and all of them seemed to be doing well there.

4) We need to know one of 2 things from either QB to have a special season:

4A) JL: Can he overcome the Howard/Richey mental block that keeps him from performing? If he can, he is a horse we can ride all the way.

4B) JJ: If this kid develops a modicum of pocket presence and internal timing, he could end up an an All-SEC team. Kid has scary tools, he has just been poorly coached.

Both QB's have question marks. I tend to side with Jefferson in the QB argument because his mistakes are the easiest to correct. Will they be corrected? I don't have much faith in our coaching staff to do so, but I hope they have.

JL could be a special QB, but mental deficiencies are unpredictable, and unfortunately usually permanent.

I hope one overcomes. . .because if it happens, and the OL plays worth a damn. . .we could play for it all.

Keep in mind that despite how badly you think last season went, we were a bad INT review, and a poorly managed minute and a half from winning the west.

i agree with this, i tend to side on Lees side personally because i feel the reward of him shining is much higher than the reward of JJ shining, but it is at the risk of Lees low which is much much worse than JJs low point

I thought the video was from today's practice, no? Fairly certain Zach Lee didn't hit anyone in stride today at the LSU practice facility.

I'm all for JJ being the QB and I think he'll have a much better year...but I don't think any of his tools are "scary". He is a serviceable, athletic QB and he's a competitor, which is great for the team.
