So you have one day to make all kinds of media rounds as the QB of a top 5 team in mid June. What is it that you would want to get out of all these media appearances? I would want him to promote the upcoming season and talk about the team looking forward. You would want him to use this limited window of exposure to apologize and "own up" for not playing well at times last year?

I'm not using this as some life lesson bullshite. I'm not his father or his coach or his teammate. I'm sure he's well aware he had some bad games. Further, he doesn't owe you or I jack shite. Tell me why he needs to "own up" on national tv for his mistakes and why today would be the best venue? Tell me how that would be in the team's best interest?

JJ has a a rare opportunity to get in front on a national audience. My hope is he projects a positive outlook for the season and exudes confidence. I see very little gained by degrading and revisiting his performance last year.

I would rather he not talk about last season at all. I didnt say that he needed to do anything on national TV either. Nowhere in my statement did I talk about his national carwash media day. I was simply saying exactly what I said. You said owning up to mistakes will make him look like a pussy, and I respectfully disagree.

Never said this was the venue but after all the recent statements about "ME" and "I" coming from him I think he owes it to his team to become a better leader on and OFF the field.

He has a lot of national apperances on the field, so I guess lets see how he does OFF the field.

I was responding to bmy's comments on p2 in saying I didn't want to come across like a pussy.

I hope he says "I" have to practice harder. "I" have to play better, "I" have to be a better leader, and "I" didn't come through a lot of the time last year when my team needed me to do so.

I don't see why any LSU fan would "want" him to revisit last year and essentially apologize for his performance in this rare opportunity.

I mean, bmy wants him to say he failed last year and when his team needed him? Really? That's what he wants him to say?

My overall beef is with people who feel the need to bash our QB in June and essentially wish him to fail and find fault with him for going on ESPN promoting the program. I just don't get it. Look, I sat through every minute of every game just like everyone else. I didn't like what I saw either, but it's time to get over it. JJ is the apparent starting QB on our team who is thought to be a serious title contender. I don't have a vote in who starts. I'm supporting our guy.
