JJ situation not a good example to other players

ok, we've all heard it and seen it - kid is mediocre at best, worse each year - etc etc etc ... It makes me sick to my stomach to hear a coach talk about his "newly found work ethic"! I mean, the kid plays QB at LSU - is that not motivation enough? What message does this send to other players?? Unreal - it's like Miles is seeing a totally different player than we are - WTF??! 4-14 in Spring game and we are one of the worst ranked offensive teams in the country last 2 years!! Mettenberger is head and shoulders better than JJ!

If only some of our Wrs caught some of the passes by JJ.

tards. JJ looked alot better than his stats say. Better footwork. A great pass that RR dropped that woulda been a TD. A great play by Simon aborted another td. A pass knocked down at the LOS that in a game, that dlineman woulda been cut on a slant.

Maybe Miles knows more about football than a bunch of fans? Ya think?
Your post proves that he knows more than you do.

this definitely deserves it's own thread.

What message does it send to the players if he gives the reigns of the offense to a guy who has been with the team for about four months and done nothing to assert himself over the incumbent?

The stats do not tell the whole story. JJ played about as well as JJ can play in the scrimmage, and he completed well below 50% of his passes. A couple were well-defended, but he had at least 4 or 5 very inaccurate throws...one of which Sheppard caught. He threw a poor pick and also had a fumble.
All of this was in a scrimmage with no blitzing, and a team that was stacked on both offense and defense. It appeared that Miles tried to stack the deck for JJ so that he would clearly out-perform the other two QBs...if this was Miles' plan, it failed.
I saw no improvement from the QB play that has led LSU to a bottom 10 offense over the past two seasons. As it ways, he clearly outperformed him anyway (by my estimation).
Miles owes it to all of the players on the team to always give the best players the majority of snaps at every position. When an older player cannot clearly separate himself from the younger players, the younger guys should get the snaps because their ceiling appears to be higher.
Had Mettenberger (or Lee) gotten the snaps with the stacked team JJ had on Saturday, it is hard to believe that they would not have looked way better than JJ did.
Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it. I hope our defense is ready for the season opener...
