re: Which QB should start and/or play more vs WKU, and why?

Your a jackass. If JJ becomes our starter/main QB, we will lose a game or two. We don't score enough with him at QB. Fact

You're an idiot. without JJ vs Alabama WE LOSE. Face it dude, Lee is a great guy but HE CAN NOT WIN THE BIG ONE. Sure everyone will bitch at me for saying this but JJ can handle the pressure of elite teams...Lee can't handle the pressure. It seems JJ just needs to graduate and get away so everybody can be happy in tigerland.

Keep it likr its been, Lee had an off night ,it happens,JJ showed why we need him also. So keep it about 50/50 yil we get up enough to let Mett play.

the guy has been nails all year long. He messed up twice last night and our HC bailed out on him. Our offense did nothing, absolutely nothing, with JJ in there.

I would disagree on several counts. I think the primary reason Lee didn't get back in is that Miles decided that the game didn't play to his strengths. In other words, the interceptions weren't the cause of him getting pulled, but a symptom of the larger problem, i.e. Bama's coverage didn't give Lee and our receivers any space at all. (No one smothers a passing attack like Saban's D.) And, the power running game wasn't getting any traction, which added to the problems. JJ was able to spread the field laterally (utilizing Ford's speed to good effect) and he was able to extend a couple of drives with his legs. While this didn't result in any TDs, it did shift field position by 10-20 yards on occasion (crucial in a game like this!), where we might well have suffered a lot more 3-and-outs if Lee had been in, not because he's not a good QB, but because we were playing into Bama's defensive strength with him in there, something Miles realized pretty quickly. And, remember, it was JJ who drove us on our only sustained drive of the night, at the end of the first half. If I remember correctly, that's the only time either team got to within the 10 yard line until overtime.

Going forward, I agree with those who say that Lee should start and get plenty of work this week, if for nothing else, then to get his confidence back. We'll need both QBs down the stretch, and I suspect that Les will play one or the other depending on what the D gives him.
