Well, the numbers back him up passing wise.

I think he felt JJs mobility gave him an edge against Bama.

He should have realized it was a non-factor and adjusted.

Lee should have seen the field after the shovel interception at the latest.

Lee was choking in the first Bama game and Les was right to pull him. Jefferson was choking as bad or worse and Les stayed with him. The only answer is there has to be more to the story or Les is crazy.

Oh?

Stats do not count the NC game, to give JJ a fighting chance.

Jefferson:
50/83 60% 684YDS 6TD 1INT 10SACKS
For those scoring at home, that's 1 sack per 5 completions. If we count the NC game, the numbers get much, much worse.

Lee:
104/167 62% 1306YDS 14TD 3INT 4SACKS
One sack per 26 completions.

Hidden in those numbers are Jarrett Lee's ZERO sacks on 3rd or 4th down with 53 pass attempts, and Jefferson's 3 sacks on 3rd or 4th down on only 19 attempts. Again, these numbers do not count the NC game.

Also, Lee's QB rating is better on 2nd down than first, and better on 3rd than 2nd. Jefferson's is exactly opposite. Lee's rating is also pretty steady by quarter, while Jefferson's numbers steadily dwindle as the game wears on.

So, again, which QB is the elusive one who makes plays with his feet?
