re: Can we take some time to congratulate Jarret Lee?

I've always had a great deal of respect for Lee.
After being thrown into the fire in 2008, with an OC that continually called plays that he was simply incapable of executing leading to the 16 INTS and 6 pick sixes, he endured some of the most horrible criticism I have ever seen from a fanbase that is all too willing to turn on their own.
But rather than transfer, which most thought he would, and no one would have blamed him, he stayed, and contributed to the best season in LSU history.
Even when he lost his starting job after running into Alabama (justifiably since we were heading toward a Rematch), the team that always seemed to haunt him, and almost cost the team the GOTC, he never allowed himself to become the martyr that so many wanted to make him (most of whom were the same classless trash that tortured him in 2008) by refusing to play the victim and trashing the coach that shielded him from facing that team again on a night that they were feasting on our OL like sharks in a frenzy.
And as for Jefferson, the fact that he didn't try to get his exceptionally talented younger brother to go to another school after the horrible character assassinations he has endured speaks volumes to his love of the school and team that he played so hard for in his four year career.
Cheers to both of those young men and the 41wins and SEC Championship they gave us in their four years together as Tigers.

Ehh hold the brakes. Not even the worst in the TD era. That would go to JJ and Les Miles.
And you already see it in this thread, bashing of Les Miles.

yeah. Being caught with drugs, getting in fights, blaming the other players for his mistakes, etc...
yeah, his character was stellar before the "assassinations"
what ajoke.

Damn. I agree with all that shite. Should be the last word on the JL JJ era.
