And plenty of those balls are screens and short passes.

And, no one else in the SEC throws those...

but if he were on a team like Arky, Tenn, or Florida (weak run game, little D) he'd have to take many more risks and would make more mistakes.

And, he'd also make more plays than he has now. Lee is a much, much, much better QB than people realize. He's only thrown into double coverage twice all season that I remember??? If he had to throw it 10 more times it doesn't automatically mean he's going to start making poor decisions with the ball. He hasn't done it all year.

Heck, his one INT was on a play where he and the WR were clearly not on the same page.

Based on Lee's play the last 3 years (excluding his freshman year), there is zero reason to think that he would be a turnover machine if he started throwing it 30 times a game. In fact, the evidence would lean to the argument that he would statistically become one of the top QBs in the league.
