First off I definitely agree that JJ is by no means the future of this team and that something has to change, and that that change can really only come in the form of JLee.

With that said, am I the only one that remembers just how bad Lee was? The pick sixes were only the tip of the iceberg, but those seem to be the only thing mentioned whenever people talk about his downside.

All throughout 08' he froze way worse then JJ whenever he had any sort of pressure and he would just throw the ball into the ground or at the back of a lineman. Now his lack of pocket presence could have just been indicative of a struggling o-line or a young Qb, but who knows. Throughout that whole year he was inconsistent as crap and struggled with his accuracy and with telegraphing passes much worse then JJ ever has.

Now I know that what everyone will say to this is it's been two years, it's time to give him another chance, it can't get any worse, and while I agree remember we did give him another chance last year vs La Tech and he played with literally no improvement.

With all of that said, Our offense is terrible with JJ and it is time to give Lee a chance. I'm just not sure if one "sharp" pass in this game means anything at all and I wouldn't be suprised if with Lee at the helm we made no improvement. Hopefully if Miles nuts up and puts Lee in the offense will improve, but Lee hasn't showed us anything in two years don't know why he would now.

I think most posters on this board are post-pregnant women who have forgotten the pain Lee caused.

Lee consistently overthrew simple passes like Jefferson.

Lee consistently telegraphed his passes and developed "happy feet" during pass plays.

Lee's ability to read a defense was even worse than Jefferson.

But because he can throw a ball hard, people think he's the savior of the offense (nevermind that Jefferson had a couple of sharp highlight-reel throws just last week.)

What about him?

the lee of 2 years ago before that


Was only in his second year of football.

Seems like if he can be a Top 10 recruit in only his 3rd year of playing football, then he can be a decent QB in his 7th year.
