I just wanna put this up and be done. The Arky game was not on him. We lost by 8 and gave up 2 tds for 80 and 85 yards. We also missed a field goal. That right there would have mad it 26-17 without those goof ups. Auburn was partly his fault but Lee was also at fault along with the run game and the defense which gave up 440 yards rushing with 86 passing.

Auburn JJ was leading rusher with 74 and a td
Both Lee and JJ sucked at passng
Lee 8/14 43
Jj 7/14 46 int

Run game outside of JJ put up 41 yards

Of you want to talk actual losses last year, not wins or close wins, the defense let us down. The rbs and front seven let us down in auburn and the secondary let us down against Arky.

I can't believe you guys are ripping him. He gave solid answers and stayed very diplomatic erring on the side of caution. I think he did just fine.

I was wondering when someone was going to tell the truth about our losses

Agreed - That is a fair assessment of the losses.

LSU's troubles were not *only* Gary C.
LSU's troubles were not *only* JJ.

However, to be fair -- how about including a fair assessment of the wins?

How many Wins did we have BECAUSE of the defense?
How many Wins did we have Despite poor QB play?

It's easy to make a point if you only choose to discuss the obvious pieces that support your view. In my estimation -- the DEFENSE/ST allowed us to win 4 extra games, despite very poor QB play. And, I'm not hating on the guy -- I'm just hoping he matures a bit and conducts himself more as a leader and less as a victim. This interview has me thinking that he's maturing quite a bit in the off-season.

It's all about perspective. Here's to hoping that LSU Fans' perspectives of JJ at the end of the season are that he has drastically improved and is considered the most improved player between his Jr and Sr seasons to have ever to play for the Tigers.
