It's a dadgum shame when the gump blacksheep is the only consistently reasonable poster on this board
You see one of the biggest problems with Lee is that he was very easy to read in 2008 and he has shown some of those tenancies this year, though he has been far more effective in his limited role than he ever came close to being when he was carrying the load.
I think his growth and confidence has allowed him to make significant progress and he is much improved.
However, he has shown flashes of the apocalypse horse riding back foot throwing, lock it in on a route and panic upon contact (or the mere thought of it) habits that once destroyed us.
For Miles to bring him along slowly is the right call to me, despite what the impatient morons amongst us might think.
I also agree that we will have to unleash him and see just how far he has come.
I'm betting he will be great and could wind up leading us to the promised-land this year, returning as the starter next year and becoming an ALL TIME legend and instant LSU HOFer.
All that said, if CLM doesn't keep the progression of the tandem trending toward Lee then he will be allowing his stubbornness to hurt our chances, IMHO, but I am sure he sees the big picture better than any of us internet experts...

This x100.
Lee is not going to suddenly be an All-SEC quarterback. There is a reason that he was benched in the first place and has yet to reclaim the starting job. I agree that Lee is going to be required to air it out eventually against the better teams on the schedule, which may happen as soon as this weekend, but the formula for success all year regardless of who is under center is going to be to lean on the running game and defense in order to hide the ineffectiveness at the quarterback position.
Lee may be the savior, but we need to bring him along slowly. We might not have that luxury this weekend, but we need it.
That being said.. the point of this topic is that few would understand it that way. It's either a matter of Les not playing the elite quarterback in favor of the scrub, or the fact that he should have recruited better in the first place.
