T or F: LSU must lose a game before Jefferson loses starting job?

I say absolutely true. Les will not replace Jefferson as long as we are winning, no matter how horrible he plays. I'm certain Jefferson will start the season as the starter and if we beat Oregon, the job is his until we lose. I suspect it will be similar to last year when he played horrible but we were 7-0. You just knew at some point, QB play would cost us games.
If and when Mettenberger becomes the starter, it may be too late to salvage our national title hopes. One loss because of putrid QB play could ruin what could be a magical season.

JJ will not sit if he's winning.

What if LSU loses and JJ is not the reason for it?

Don't quit ya day job $ag!! Mett is a season away from being a starter.

I think F and it would take more than 1 game and it being directly related to his play.
Second it's like firing a coach, you don't just do it because you are pissed. You have to have someone who is better to take the position. Or else you end up like our women’s basketball.

Isn't it at all possible that with a better QB developer that Jefferson might start because he is actually better than Mettenberger?
Jefferson showed flashes of talent at times, just has Lee has. Who's to say Kragthorpe can't bring it out of either of them?

It may have been true last year, simply because we had no one better to replace him with.
Hear me out JL advocates. I'm as big a fan of Lee as anyone but he had his problems as well. I would have liked to see him start more down the stretch just so he could have his fair shot. But he had mechanical problems that would've hurt playing an enitre game.
But now after this spring with more practice I think both JL and Mett have the potential to be better than JJ. You can't fix reading defenses, but you CAN fix footwork mechanics.
So if JJ has 2 or 3 games with 0 TD's and 100 yards or less passing then I think it's a no brainer that the coaches need to play a better QB.

He's going to start every game regardless, barring injury of coure

Mett would have to be heads above dominant. Otherwise, it's JJ's job.
Posted on 3/17/11 at 1:51 pm to Sanford Lyle
F, Les would have sat him down if he had a better option last year.
Posted on 3/17/11 at 3:13 pm to Sanford Lyle
N'ah. I think that Les learned a valuable lesson in '06 against AU. It's better to try the passing game than to lose conservatively.
If LSU is handling their opponents despite bad play by Jefferson, Miles will throw Mett in when the going gets tough. Likely, he'll get Mett some experience prior to baptism by fire.

False!!!!! Les will play JJ if we loose 4 games.

inhale.
It's 79 degrees outside, the breeze is gently blowing, the sun is shining and somewhere in Louisiana an LSU fan is furiously typing on his keyboard in a dimly lit musty room filled with garbage and half eaten burritos from taco bell that the sky is falling or will soon be falling for sure.
exhale.

So no matter what happens in the spring or fall practice, J will start...Les said it was J's job to lose...so he might lose it in the spring or the fall........if J does not prove then he is the starter then he will not see action unless someone gets hurt......

F.
It's beyond me why anybody would think that Les and Krags would play any QB but the one who demonstrates the best ability to execute the offense. It's not in their interest to do anything else!
