the biggest gripe i have with jj is his long slow release and the inability to make quick decisions on where to go with the ball. lee has an extremely quick release which helps on wr screens and quick slants. jj just doesn't have that part of the game in his arsenal. his ability to make plays with his legs, however, are a huge advantage lee just doesn't give us. personally, i like what we were doing in the auburn and florida games, like we did in 2007 w flynn and rp.

i also am kind of upset with miles not playing lee last week. if he wasn't suspended, he should have played. we weren't going to lose that game, and lee has earned the right to play. i can't imagine what that did to his confidence not getting in the game until the middle of the 4th quarter. he's stuck around through a lot of bullshite from the fans and the media. he deserved better than that imo. i love miles, but i thought that was wrong. he has one bad game against the best d in the country and gets benched.

I have always thought JJ had a very slow release, and wondered why the coaches did not work with him on improving that drastically. I have thought his pass release looks like a baseball pitcher taking a wind-up. That will never fly in the NFL, if JJ had such remote hopes.

In response to the original question, quite frankly no--I don't think LSU would have been 10-0 if JJ had started the season as #1 QB.
