This and the guy that said the 2011 Kentucky game are taking Jefferson hate and Lee love way too far. Jefferson was bad, but Lee was no better and maybe a little worse. Lee played OK in 2011 but not great, but LSU does not win the 11/5 9-6 game without Jefferson. Lee threw an awful pick in t he 3rd, that Mark Barron returned inside the 5. There was a block in the back on the return which negated the run back, otherwise Bama would have won, becuase they would have scored a TD from the 2. Lee threw something like 1 TD and 7 picks in 4 career games vs Alabama. He was not the answer. Its admirable that he stayed at LSU after the 2008 pick 6 fiasco and I understand why people like him more the Jefferson, but he was just not a good QB, at least Jefferson could run, that usually gives Saban's D a little trouble, though having a mulligan negated that.
I get what you're saying,and I agree that we probably don't beat Bama without JJ...but as we found out the result of that game didn't matter
Personally, I was just frustrated Lee didn't at least get a shot in the championship game. It's not like JJ set the world on fire in any of his starts. The same quick hook that Lee got for playing bad should have been extended to JJ as well.

As bad as JJ played in that game, they should have given him a breather if nothing else. Put in Lee to hand off to the FB down 15-0
I would have rather seen Mettenberger, at least Bama had never seen him. As for the hook, lets not forget that if not for the Shady's incident, Lee probably would not have played at all in 2011. To his credit he played ok, not special, but ok. I just don't think Les ever trusted Lee after 2008 and the pick by Barron was just the final straw. Also keep in mind, Bama's lost 7 games since 2008 and JJ was a key player in 2 of them.
