why are people all of a sudden pretending as if there's some choice between a QB who can throw and one who can run? wtf have you been watching for 3 years?

yesterday, he ran in a straight line for 83 yards without falling down. good for him. its more than i thought he was capable of.

his 1 carry yesterday = 83 yards
his other 207 carries = 411 yards


before yesterday, in 18 starts, how many games over 100 yards has he ever had? zero.

over 75 yards? zero.

over 50 yards? zero.

over 30 yards? three.

UNDER 20 yards? ten.

putting him in does nothing, it doesn't make the defense guess, except for which lineman hes going to run into the back of before falling down. i defended him for a long time, but he had his chance, and he's not good, at anything. it we're lucky he'll never take another snap at LSU.

Pretty much. JJ brings nothing to the table that isn't easily replaced if not improved without him.

Well I don't know about all of that BUT one thing I know and this is without a shadow of a doubt: He cannot run the option. In the nearly 30 years that I've been a fan of college football I don't think I've seen the option run any worse by anyone else.

I'm glad we scored on that play but people need to realize that it's a fluke

In the middle of your mean-spirited rant, realize that your stat numbers are flawed. In college, a QB's sack totals are figured into his rushing. His numbers on just pure rushing plays are not that bad.

And I do hope he takes another snap at LSU...at some point we are going to need him, trust me.

He can run the QB 'sneak'.

It was a fluke, once-in-a-career play. I was almost depressed to watch it, because LSU has come to rely on fluke plays. How many times have they done something exceptional (well, many more times on defense or special teams than offense!) then been unable to move the ball in the normal way, only to barely eke out a win? One could say it's like a big blast of diarrhea followed by three weeks of painful constipation.

Then who starts if Lee gets hurt?

I will never understand why the QB situation has to be such a horse race for some people. Just because you're "for" a guy starting doesn't mean that you have to be against the other guy. And the fact that u backed JJ in the past doesn't mean that you're not being mean spirited now (because you are). No one in this fanbase believes that JJ has played well or even OK, so for you to verbally assault the kid after he has all but lost his job is pretty low.

One poster already posted it, but I'll reiterate. If you have any sense at all you will pray that JJ figures out how to get better. We've had to play the backup every year for the past 3 years due to injury.
