Thank you not benching JJ. As stupid as it seemed in the moment, it will pay dividends in the future. You don't know how much players appreciate that..that even in their darkest moments, that their coaches will always have their back. Recruits saw that, and the younger guys saw that. The seniors will remember that for life, and surely JJ in the midst of his misery, will feel forever indebted to coach miles for that. There may not be a better coach to play for in america. But we need to sure up our offensive identity

Thank you JJ for the 4 years. You had your up and down for years, but have lead us to 2 SEC championships and 1 BCS championship game. You got your fair share of criticism, some of which was just, alot which wasnt. IMO, your development was stunted the minute you had to burn your redshirt. You were turned into something you aren't, a runner. A pocket passer you really were. You and Lee may have not have gotten the best QB coaching the last 4 years, but no one can question the heart and effort you played with. No other QB I bet the player rather win with or lose with. Glad that Miles decided to let his leader fight until the end. JJ,I feel for you this morning, as it was not all your fault, as much as it was one of the worst offensively called CFB games in history. But as the leader,you shoulder this loss. Hopefully it will make you a better person and player in the future.

With all that sad, we got beat by a better team. Hurts to say, but if you didnt see it in the first game, then you had the purple shades on. Our incompetent/inadequate passing game/QB play got exposed when it mattered most, and it was something our coachign staff had gotten away with for 4 years. It catches up with you. And in a championship against arguably one of the best CFB coaches of all time, ith 50+ days of prep, it would have been near impossible to cover our biggest flaw. BAMA exposed Tryann for not being as great in man coverage as the world thinks he is (shocker ). But our defense honestly played as well as you could for as dead as our offense was. Their effort wont be forgotten. Sad way to end the season, but we have a raw defense coming back. LEtS keep our heads up, you cant win all the games.

So when Miles tells them they can contribute right away, they won't look at him and say "Like Mettenberger did?"

Wonder what that huge recruit Zack Mettenberger thought about Les Miles sticking with Jefferson? Remember when Mettenberger was told that he would have a chance to compete for the starting position? Remember when Mettenberger went all season long and only throw a couple of passes against Northwestern St? Remember when Mettenberger just wanted to do something, anything, other than hand the ball off to the fullback with 7 minutes left in the game at Ole Miss, so he ran a qb bootleg? What if Mettenberger was given a chance to gain game experience passing the ball, would Les have put him in last night to try the simple forward pass?

So why did that happen to Lee? Won't recruits see Miles not having Lee's back.

Doesn't make sense. You play your best players and take non performign players out of the game... Agreed you give chances but JJ was on his 9th life after dismal performance against Georgia. It was apparent that the offense needed a spark.

Good point, I never thought about. Recruits are going to see how you can step in for a charged felon, and take the team to an undefeated record and number one ranking, and despite what you do on the field, your head coach will take a huge shite on your head. No matter what you do on the field, if you aren't his pet, you sit the bench, and he embarrasses you and your family.

I bet recruits (well, certain ones), will be chomping at the bit to come here. Especially mid-tier, ignorant, semi-athletic, self-centered, underachieving primaddonas.

I share a similar opinion.

He was thrown into the fire too soon. What's worse was that he along with JL was poorly coached for much of his career.
