so the fact we've had a National Top 10 Ranked Defense the past 2 years didn't help him attain those 20 wins?


He didn't "attain" 20 wins, but he helped QB a team which did and I don't recall anyone not giving the D their props.

As to GG, if your big stat take from the Cotton Bowl on JJ's performance was "but he completed just 10 passes", then you can't see the forest for the trees and your take of that game is worthless. imo

I think the big stat is that of the 4 games out of 13 you could reasonably argue he played well or in some cases very well 3 of them he had two weeks or more to prepare. UNC,Alabama and Texas A&M. The one game he had that he played well with only one week to prepare was Ole Miss. That leaves 9 games he peformed below average or in most cases horrid.

I dont think nor do I think the overwhelming majority believe LSU can have the kind of season that the overall talent indicates they can have with a qb who performs below average or worse in 9 or more games during the season.

JJ has been given more opportunities to play when his performance dictated he should be on the bench than any LSU qb that I can remember.

When you throw in the scowling and pouting on the sideline when his backup is in the game and makes big plays along with his horrible clock management in the UT game last year and Ole Miss game in 09 most do not feel or want to watch him flail around for a third year.

Or do you guys (Lonnie and Uncommon Cents) think we should sit on our hands or applaud poor performance and accept it? Again if that is the case did you guys want Curley Hallman to be retained?

Why have we had other players who did not perform in games get replaced but JJ has started despite his repeated poor performances? Again I am not speaking subjectively you can objectively look at his statistics and qb rating and see he is substansially below an average qb.
