re: Jefferson: "I will be the starter, hands down"

You can't blame people for being skeptical.

No offense, and don't mean to single you out, but it is pretty tragic how many people on here clearly have no clue what the word "skeptical" means.

When a skeptic hears, "Jefferson could be improved this year," he has no comment to make. That is because a skeptic is not someone who has a preconceived negative opinion. A skeptic is one who is less likely to be convinced OF ANY PREDICTION -- GOOD or BAD -- based on evidence presented. A skeptic in this situation would just as likely be someone who remains unconvinced that Jefferson will play badly just because of some other games that happened against other teams in other seasons. A skeptic is *not* a negative naysayer. A skeptic reserves judgment -- positive or negative -- until more evidence has been presented, or the truth itself is actually revealed. So when you try to convince a skeptic that Jefferson will not play well this season by presenting him with evidence like, "he wasn't even among the top XX rated QBs last year" or "he only threw 4 TD passes in 12 games" or "our passing offense was in the 100s", he remains just as unconvinced as he is by those trying to convince him that Jefferson will be improved by presenting him with evidence like multiple experts praising specifically his improvement, the change in QB coaches to a guy with a proven history of successful QB tutoring, and previous examples of QBs with similar struggles who turned it around late in their careers with the right coaching. Both sides are presenting credible arguments, but a true skeptic would remain unconvinced by either side. Once you are persuaded by either side, you have ceased to be skeptical.

So anyone who argues against the suggestion that Jefferson could improve this year is clearly and absolutely NOT being a skeptic; they are a believer who is already convinced by the evidence presented that they know what the future will hold.

No shite dumbass. Reading comprehension much? I was making a comparison how things would be different if a different QB said what JJ said. Pay attention you dumb arse. This had nothing to do with building either QB up at any other QBs expense. It had to do with Rantards response to a QB's comment. Pay attention or stfu.

no you didnt, don't worm your way out of it,... you cry for 20 fricking straight pages bc others on this board see what you dont want to see about JJ,.. and finally you make some off the fricking wall statement that has ZERO factual basis behind it... it's your opinion bc it helps your cause defending JJ.

Once again, why are constantly crying like a little girl about JJ?

I watched the Spring Game, and I saw more talent, arm strength, potential in Mett, hands down, it wasnt even close

I kinda wish Mett would start running his mouth a little...

Nope .. He's doin the right thing .. Let his work on the feild speak for itself ..

I like to call it "silent but deadly"

Two days later and our fans are still shitting all over the 100% starter because of a comment he made saying he will be the starter. fricking awesome fans we have. Not to mention throwing personal insults at the kid like questioning his intelligence, calling him immature and a crybaby, etc. Absolutely disgusting.

3rd string, to this point.

Look at the video I posted and see the only person/persons running their mouth are our insane fans.

Once again reading comprehension fail. I shouldn't have to explain myself yet again just cause you are too clueless to understand even the most basic points. So why don't you go back and reread my post you were responding to and ask yourself if I was insulting JL in any way.

Stop being a whining little bitch just bacause you have zero reading comprehension.

Im not saying you are putting Jlee down, however what you are doing sport is saying shite that is strictly your fricking opinion. You are doing it in a way that tries to take the spotlight off the dude this is all abgout from the start.

SOme of you people are slow or so blinded, prob a little of both. This one thing he said this time is just a manefestation of the things he has said for the last two years.... It adds up and normal fans (the ones that arent blind or slow) dont fricking forget it. Ive said this 10 times.. my biggest prob with JJ (outside of his play) is that he doesnt and hasnt demonstratred the charactersitics through his play, his actions or his words that I EXPECT and DESIRE from the starting qb of this football team.

Like it or not pal, there is a TON of LSU fans that feel the same exact way.

its not about being a hater.
Its about what I see on the field and sidelines and the qotes I read in the paper. PERIOD.

Simple yes or no question...

Does JJ have anyone to blame other than himself for all (or at least the majority) of this heat he gets?
