If he had stayed for the championship in 07 he would be remembered much better, IMHO.


He probably would have found a way to lose several more games and ruin our national championship in 2007, just like he did with our 2006 team which should have been much better

He did not have the killer instinct or “it” factor. He found ways to lose games rather than win them.

Umm... we lost the same amount of games in 2006 as we did in 2007.

Matt Flynn threw an interception to blow the Arkansas game in 2007. He got got the benefit of not having to play Florida and Auburn on the road and having a freak ending to the season that allowed us to sneak in the championship game.

Actually the exact opposite. Jamarcus was incredibly clutch in his career when games were close:

2004 v. Oregon State: In his first game ever he comes in for an ineffective Randall and converts a fourth down and throws a touchdown and runs for 2 to tie the game with a minute left in the game.

2004 v. #11 Iowa: Comes in for ineffective Randall & Flynn, throws TD to take the lead with just over a minute left. (we lose on fluke hail mary).

2005 v. #15 Arizona State on the road: throws a 4th down 40 yard touchdown to win the game with 1 minute left.

2005 v. #4 Alabama on the road: throws a TD in overtime to win the game.

2006 v. #8 Tennessee on the road: throws TD with 9 seconds left to win the game.

2006 v. Ole Miss: throws 4th down TD with 14 seconds left to send game to overtime.
