re: Rewatching our offense with Jordan Jefferson at the helm

Jefferson just wasn't very good. He had a very strong arm but he didn't throw with touch. They tried to utilize his mobility and that's why he was ultimately able to succeed as much as he did. I never saw many flashes of great passing ability.
I'm sure a better offensive scheme could have helped. I would argue it would have helped Lee even more.

His inability to throw the bubble screen was almost comical. That we kept calling it despite that was also comical. Miles apologists at the time and there were still many at that time said it was to set up other plays later on. I never found wasting plays to set up others later a very sound strategy.
Jefferson had his moments, his good games. But he was limited as IMHO was Lee. Their career passing stats were almost identical -
Lee - 317-565 (56.1), 3939 yards, 32-21 and 7 yards per attempt.
JJ - 397-678 (58.6), 4733 yards, 34-20 and 7 yards per attempt.
Sure they were both victims of the post 2008 Miles that put the reigns on the offense after Lee's interception issues in 2008. But in the end they were average QB's who IMHO both had to play because neither were ever consistently good enough to completely unseat the other....until the very end where the staff felt JL was not an option against Bama.

Jordan's biggest problem was throwing with anticipation; he truly had to see the receiver open before he could throw it
Lee's biggest problem was honestly, he freaked out if rushers got near him, like when jim everett became chris everett; that's why he sucked against bama and why Les never trusted him again; borderline cowardice

JJ was not a good QB but Les loved him some JJ! I am glad they are both gone!
