re: Rewatching our offense with Jordan Jefferson at the helm

Lee sucked arse. I don’t know why people hype him up so much. Whether it wasn’t his fault or not and he and JJ were a product of a shitty system you can argue. But he sucked arse in whatever we were running.

Not aimed just at you Elleshoe but seemed like as a good of place as any to hop on this ride.

As I mentioned w.r.t. JJ in an earlier post, I prefer to see my Tigers in the best light possible.

In '08 JL was put in at QB before he was anywhere near ready - the game was just too fast for him then. But there was no place to hide and even more so when Hatch went down.

And make no mistake about, his Fr season was a disaster. That said, he never ducked responsibility or shifted blame. '19 marked 50 seasons of following LSU football and when JL got hurt vs OM in '08 it marked the low point in our fandom, i.e., when TS cheered when he got hurt (not cheered as when an injured player is helped off the field, no but cheered when JL lay on the grass injured).

Why JL would ever want to stay at LSU after that is beyond me. But he did.

And Tiger fans can be glad he did.

We don't beat UTenn, UF, and perhaps Bama without him in '10. His 3rd and 13 throw to Reuben Randle vs Bama was a clutch as could be. Last time we beat Bama in TS BTW.

And '11 may have looked a lot different had he not been here when JJ was suspended.

Glad JL came to LSU and stuck it out.
