What could be the reason to stick with a inept QB, considering we had other options?

Best chance to win the game?
Most experienced QB?

Two reasons:

1) Stubbornness

2) Poor judgment. Les has repeatedly shown his penchant for making a whopper of a bad decision every so often (hiring of Crowton, hiring of Malloveto, time management, etc)

Because obviously something happened between Miles and Lee. We dont know what it is quite yet, but it will come out eventually.

IMO, could be a couple of things, some of which have been mentioned.

OL was shaky. Thought JL would be killed dropping back.

Something happened with JL that noboday's talking about, and Les was stubbord.

Thought that he knew what he was doing, and thought wrong.

Missed his opportunity when Lee was warming up during the third.

Just pure stubborn.

Just a wild-arse guess here, but the lack of a game plan made me wonder whether Les just thought his team was so good, they could just go out there and beat anyone. If that's the case, he drank some kook-aid. There was no plan that I saw on Les's part. What other reason could there be?

Lee was never going to play.

There was a fallout between not just Lee and Miles, but Lee and the team. Not necessarily any collection of individuals on the team, but on the team as a whole. Maybe the class rumors were true, maybe it was something else. However, it was clear that Lee was never going in that game. Miles was not going to play him.

In my opinion, based off of Miles' character, Lee didn't deserve to be in the game as a result of something he did. Something that was more important than winning and losing. Some sort of selfish act that could have been a betrayal to the team. Would Saban have played Lee? You know it. But Miles is Miles, and he's going to do things his way. It's his program. And I love him for that.

Miles proved by not playing T-Bob and Shepard that he wasn't playing favorites. If Lee didn't see the field, there was a behind-the-scenes reason for it. Maybe Miles was actually protecting Lee by not releasing this reason. I guess we'll never really know for sure. Miles did what he thought was right, and that is the one thing that I won't question. Not about this man.

ETA: "It was fair that he finish." - Miles on Jefferson regarding the Jefferson/Lee situation.

That's a very telling quote to me.

Maybe because JL is really not as good as JJ? Maybe both JJ and JL are bad QBs? It's over, move on!

Miles being arrogantly hard head is one reason.

The other reason, he didn't want to piss off Jefferson's brother. Saban wants him as bad as we do.

Didn't read all the responses, but this is an easy question. JJ gave us a better chance of winning against Bama. JL's success this year was against mediocre defenses with little to no pass rush. When JL has time and no pressure he is very effective. However if there is the slightest bit of pressure he begins to panic. How many of you have held your breath when there is a pass rush and JL throws off his back foot. JJ escape ability opens it up a bit for us and adds that element to create more time for WR's to break open..

Oh and JL' stats against Bama - 1 TD to 7 Ints. This is a no brainer. The coaches picked the best of the worst basically...

Stubbornness!!
It's inexcusable that Mett got no playing time with the two in front of him being so bad!!No other coach in America would've kept him on the bench.jj is the worst qb in the history of football!!

To preempt racial division on the team dominated by black players. There, I said it.
