Look, both Lee and JJ have shown promise at times and both have shown horrible play.

Neither has had a legit QB coach until this season, and somehow JJ regressing into one of the worst Div 1-A QBs in the country last year is saved by the fact that he has legs.

JJ has more athleticism than Lee, but take out the UNC and A&M games last year and in 11 games, JJ put up 93/169 (55%), 1102 yards, 2 TDs and 8 INTs. That's literally averaging 100 yards/game passing, and over 2 INTs for every three games. This doesn't even include his 8 or so fumbles.

Lee in his limited time had 2 TDs and 1 INT. The INT was when he was randomly inserted on 3rd and goal to throw a fade to the RB, which was obvious the second he came in the game. It was a bad throw, but the call was ridiculous.

Lee's struggles also got bigger last year after he got his wrist effed up against Auburn. Keep forgetting that.

In the end, Lee has as much likelihood of improving to be a very good QB as JJ does this year given they have a real QB coach. Let's see how it plays out before calling it the end of the world.
