I think miles should have started JL. Let him get his rythym back we will need him for the next games.

Just curious how did JL look in practice this past week leading up to the W Ky game since you feel he should have started the game.

I think the way Miles has handled the QBs to this point has been extremely effective. The offense - with both QBs - has been more efficient and effective than last year. I'm not saying that Lee should have started; I'm a big Lee fan, but he laid a huge egg last game - the biggest of the season so far. There should be consequences for that. No problem with him not starting.

That said, it just seems to me that there are different standards applied. I was surprised at how little Lee actually played (after he was announced as the starter). Moreover, Les has consistently pulled Lee even when he is playing very well to insert Jefferson, and it doesn't seem that he's willing to pull Jefferson even when he is playing very poorly (as he did at times last night).

But its not my decision to make nor my standard that matters. It just pains me to see how many times Lee has saved Miles's butt (Tennessee last year?), yet he seems hell bent on giving Jefferson as much leeway as possible. Lee has been very good this year, and very steady. I think he's earned the same opportunity that Jefferson has - and Les Miles himself has said that.
