I agree. Miles would have been embarrassed if Lee had come into the game and performed well. He would then be revealed as the poor evaluator of talent that he is. Assuming Miles actually believed that JJ was the better quarterback, he was clearly and obviously mistaken. And I have yet to see anyone who thinks Lee didn't deserve a chance in the BCS championship game. The only remaining explanation is irrational. So yes, folks, I do think that Miles didn't want to be embarrassed by a successful performance by Lee.

and pass on a nat'l championship, legend status, and a million dollar raise? riiiiight.

I honestly just think that Les thought JJ was Lee's equal as a passer, only with mobility. thus, in his eyes, a better QB and a better bet to stand up to Bama. do I agree with that thought process? hell no. but I think ppl are reaching too much with the conspiracy theories/ pride stuff. Les just thinks JJ is better.

You are ludicrous! Lee could not handle Bama's speed, cannot move back there, has happy feet, throws off his back foot, would have been overwhelmed and become a turnover machine. I think JJ should have stayed in, but an effort should have been made to move the pocket and have him throw 4-5 deep balls...he can move. Also, the option attempts were grotesque...having him pull up out of the option a few times and throw (the D was sucked-up big time) could have helped in several ways.
