re: 2009 QB Depth Chart

& pick 6s. 20% of TDs scored on LSU. Good QB?

Redshirt Garrett and Hatch is the 3rd string?

Hatch is a worse version of Shep. There is nothing Hatch can do that Shep can't do and better.

Garrett might able to bring a passing presence, but we've seen what Hatch can do(Run for a 3 yard gain) and what he can't do(Complete anything that isn't straight down the field or a screen).

If JJ goes down we going to need Lee or Garrett to step in and split time.

Hey council-you forgot the MVP of the bowl game. Game was out of reach @ HALF. He was 11/12 when it was a game (AKA the first half). JL couldn't do that against TULANE HAHAAHAHAHA. Please stop the unproven crap.....

Once again he is the starting qb for the LSU tigers. Maybe if you say it more it will sink in.

Booty's ALL SEC was the biggest joke of all time. I'd have to do some research, but either it was the media or the coaches voted him that.

---

It was the coaches. He had a 4-2 record in SEC starts, beat Bama in Tiger Stadium for the first time in forever with a 4 TD/0 INT performance and won 4 straight SEC games (first since Hodson, if not Jones, to do that).

Didn't we win the SEC title & a BCS bowl the first year Rohan got the sp?

---

Yes, and we might have if Rohan hadn't been hurt in 2000. But this isn't about how great Rohan was. This is about Booty.

When Saban finally said to heck with the politics of Evangel, and played Rohan in the PEACH BOWL, (ha a sign?) we set records in the passing game.

You think Saban was benching Rohan because of some bullshite with Evangel?

Rohan was injured all season. Florida aggravated it and he should have been done for the season. He came back in the Peach because we were struggling and Brad Smalling had given up a bajillion sacks of Booty. So they put Brandon Winey back in to protect the QB, so they could put Rohan back in (still somewhat gimpy). With protection from the OT and Rohan at QB, we kicked arse. And that still has nothing to do with whether or not Booty was "garbage."

Objectively speaking, there is an absurd absence of evidence to support such a ridiculous claim. He was an All-SEC QB with a 120+ passer rating (which is neither great nor "garbage") who won a bunch of games for us in 2000 when he finally had a chance to play for a coach with some success. He was nowhere near what Rohan was, which is why he left early and was drafted into the pros. But I guess all "garbage" QBs get drafted, right?

There's a reason LSU wanted nothing to do with John David. And don't say JaMarcus was the sole reason. Please. OH WAIT I FORGOT. HAHA the famous UAB game was that year. That is the worst QB performance of any LSU QB. Remind me again who came in and won the Tenn. game limping down the field? You're right it's not about Rohan. But the analogy is the same between Lee & Jefferson.

2 starts, ,, 2 good halves, 2 bad halves

I dont think JJ played poorly the 2nd half of GT. He even had a deep TD called back for penalty, and committed no INTs most importantly.

Lee only had about 2 good halves (AU and Troy) the whole season.

I know what you are saying about JJ not having proved himself, but I feel pretty confident in what I saw. At the very least, Lee's 10 games were enough for me. Lee would have to improve just to get to where JJ already is.

I meant proven in the fact that he has won the job. Maybe not proven in reference to a SEC tenure, but definitely in comparison to Lee. It's not even close.

Council legit question. How does winning the MVP of the bowl, gaining the confidence of the team, not committing turnovers in either starts, & looking sharp in his reads (pass against Ark to Lafell), not give him the nod? He has done all you can ask of a freshman & more. Do you not agree?

You score 69 points in two games. That should always be enough IMO. And none for the other team.
