Are you serious? You've seen Lee play...do you really want him in at quarterback?

So your proof is that he can't be worse than Lee. Solid logic, did you think the same with JJ?

I don't understand all the support for Lee. He has two successful drives in a full season and all of a sudden he's Tommy friggin' Hodson.

Lee supporters forget all the three and outs he had last year. At least Jefferson would pick up a couple of first downs, which, even though we didn't put points on the board, helped us in the battle of field position.

We've seen Lee struggle. Now it's time to give the new kid a shot. If he struggles, by all means, put in Lee.

He is only good in four down territory where passing the ball is our only option (Tennessee, Florida 2010). You put him in a situation where he has to mix the run with the pass, he is mediocre at best.

Because Jefferson never had any three and outs? I'm not saying Lee is the best QB ever. I am just saying that I believe that he is our best option vs Oregon.

I'm shocked by all the Lee support. In 2008, there wasn't a bigger Lee supporter than me. His hometown is just down the road from me in Brenham. I love to see TexanTigers do well, a la Matt Flynn.

Yes, I do think JJ is better than Lee. At least with JJ, you pick up a few first downs before punting the ball away. That helps you win the battle of field position, and eventually, you will only need a few first downs to, at the very least, kick a field goal.

I think I just saw you go down my toilet.

You're trolling and you damn well know it.

Regardless of how you feel, this game is too big to take a gamble on Mett. This safer choice is Lee and that's why we're going with him. I've been a JJ supporter, but now that he's gone we have to go with Lee.

I can see it now.

Here's the ball, kid. Go beat the #4 team in the country. GFL.

Throwing a young quarterback to the wolves isn't helping anyone, my man. Ask Tyrod Taylor or Jarret Lee. It'd be smarter find out what Mett has when it might not be such a BFD. Like, IDK, against NSU for a half or so in the second game. He'll get his shot if Lee stanks it up, but it seems rightfully Lee's job to lose.

This sentence is all anyone needs to know in order to conclusively tell you have no f'king clue what you are talking about.

Remind me, what was LSU's offense ranked last year under Jefferson? Lee's only opportunity was to come in certain situations, but never as a starter. How many times did Lee drive the team down the field to give way to Jefferson to finish the drive. Give Lee a chance!

And that's the thing, you want to have your best QB out there. I doubt very seriously Lee is a better QB than Mettenberger. We've seen Lee struggle for the last three seasons, and sure, Mettenberger hasn't played a down at LSU, but you didn't need to see Cam Newton play a down to know he was most likely the best QB on the Auburn squad. I didn't know he would go on to be a Heisman Trophy winner, but I digress.

I hope Lee throws for 250 yards against Oregon. But if he hasn't already, what makes you think he would start now? His past performances are enough for me to conclude that we should give the starting job to Mettenberger, and not reward someone for simply doing what they're supposed to do.

Are you saying Lee hasn't thrown for 250 yards in a game?

Are you just drunk and high, and trying to prove to some of your friends how much of a fricking moron you are when you get like this?

So, what is wrong with this sentence again? Grammar? Spelling? Punctuation?

Entertaining one, I don't think that was his point however. He has me in stitches over here.

Lee has plenty of things to be criticized about, but everything this cat has states is so wrong, it's impossible to start telling him how badly. This has to be on purpose.
