U guys better get ready when Jj cones bck to the team miles will start him , lee was ok , but he can't do what Jj does , don't mean Jj Is a great qb, but he is better then jl, Yall better learn to deal with this ,


JJ's running was necessary last year because the passing game ran mostly out of the spread. The threat to run helped keep the defense honest since he was less than effective as a passer. Assuming we stay with more of a play action passing game, his running doesn't provide a real benefit. And Lee is probably better at the types of throws he made Sat night.

Certainly he has better scrambling ability than Lee, but you really don't want the QB to have to scramble much anyway, provided you have a good o-line.

I dont think we NEED Jefferson on the team or on the field. We NEED this off-field distraction to go away one way or the other. Does anyone remember a kid by the name of Ryan Periloux? He tried to pull this same stuff, thinking he was invincible, and Les dealt with him.

As far as Jefferson on the field goes, he does not have the brains to run the offense. He has the physical ability just not the mental ability. You can watch him when he drops back to pass. If his primary receiver is covered, he cannot go through his progression to find someone open. He immediately looks to run. Personally, I am not a fan of the running QB. I like the pocket passer.

For everyone that doesn't think we need a multi-threat QB. Please watch the Florida and BAMA games from this past weekend. Their defence is much improved, and their offence racked more that 400 yds. Oregon has no running D like in the SEC. Yes, they played blowout teams but make no mistake - 275 yds is not going to cut it against them. We need to improve our passing game. We need to beat them to win the BCS. I don't know if we will play JJ this year, and Lee is our QB right now, but we need over 200 yds passing to have a fair chance. That's what the writer was implying. I'm just enjoying our win while looking ahead.
