Legitimate question regarding play-calling when jj is in

Hopefully it happens today, but considering that teams will load the box and play man on the outside, why don't we just have jj throw a bomb to tt or rr on a passing situation in plus territory. since we basically have no confidence in him throwing in heavy traffic why not? either it goes for a big play or possibly pi or a pick works the same as a punt.

My view is that the line is not giving enough time for those long developing plays no matter who is in there.

because JJ holds the ball too fricking long.....you have to have that clock in your head and get rid of the ball when that clock goes off. JJ hits snooze too much and ends up taking a sack

Not only does he hold it too long, his release is slow. looks like he's throwing a javelin.

This is very true.

It's fricked up and predictable play calling when Jefferson is in. Period. Sometimes he keeps it too long, sometimes the line doesn't give him nearly enough time to let the play develop. At other times, it's just that opposing defenses know what's coming and take away JJ's options so he has no choice but to scramble. The coaching staff can call the same safe throws they call for JL instead of having him run, run, then try to throw on 3rd and long just to get the 1st down. Too fricking predictable. Our best chance of moving the ball vertically is when Lee is in the game, anyway.
I'm not one to favor one QB over the other. Truth is, they both deserved second chances, they were just in a situation where neither could afford to ruin their first chance. However, at this point, Lee has had the greater opportunity to develop by being on the sideline more. He gets to see what works and what doesn't, without suffering the repercussions first hand of botched plays. He was always a better passer than JJ, but JJ made better decisions when he did pass (and pass on time, that is). Play calling and clock management by the coaches, though, has always been the Achilles heel of these QB's and this team.

Again, this is the coaching staff. All mechanics. I was listening to After Further Review one day while driving home, and the guest host (Matt Moscona was away) properly dissected JJ mechanics. He stands too upright in the pocket and doesn't have his leading shoulder pointed towards his intended receiver. By the time he makes these corrections, his target has taken up to three extra steps before the ball is even released, and often that is the only window of opportunity to receive the pass.
Lee's problem, and boy have we seen it too often with our hearts in our throats, is that he chucks the ball up the field blindly when there is a defender bearing down on him. He doesn't try to evade the tackle first and then get rid of the ball if no one is open.

JJ can not pick up on pressure coming in from the side. He doesn't know when to step up in the pocket. He stares down one receiver and when he is covered, he goes into panic mode. His deep throws along with his short throws are very inaccurate. And that is his strong points.

this is the strategy yes.
Eventually they will have to drop more men into coverage to shore up their sorry arse secondary, thus opening up the run for ridley/ford/shepard.
everyone is about to find out who has the best receiving corps in the sec.
