If he has to hand off the ball, he magically starts sucking as a QB? I forgot when having a running game actually hurt a quarterback.
It's an anomaly, sure, but it fits. When you look at the final drives of the Tenn and Fla games, he thrived in the "pass only" situation (granted he did have four downs to work with). However, if you look at his play earlier in those two games, or his play in the Auburn game, when he had to mix the run with the pass, he was ineffective at best.

The wonders of small sample sizes.

Perhaps that was a result of him playing from the bench and having a little rust early in the games? Perhaps he was given a set of bad play calls that didn't work early in the game. Perhaps a receiver dropped a pass or someone missed a block.
The fact that Lee is a good passer should not change when he has to hand off. Its not like he actually has to do anything on rushing plays other than give the football to someone else and watch them.
as others have said: you are an idiot.

I haven't watched one fall practice, and I already know Mettenberger is better
This is the deal. JJ would have been our best option. Period. Why?
JL is lights out with a green jersey on. Something happens when it goes live. Guts, nerves, heart? I don't know. I do know he is agood kid and is our second best option. Why?
Mett is still learning. He will be a great QB for us IMO. Anyone know any players? Ask them what happened during the 2 min drill at the last scrimmage. Gonna be good, but not there yet.
