Will there ever be a time when LSU fans aren't freaking debating the QB position? We look like morons. We had the number #1 pick overall (regardless of his NFL career) and while he was at LSU his status as the starter was debated.

This happens with a lot of college football teams. Hence why below is funny.

#4 — The Backup QB

Let’s make one thing clear: this guy is awesome. Totally a stud. He’s like a cross between Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Jesus, and Joe Montana. Some might be skeptical because his only experience in actual games involves holding a clipboard, but you should have seen this guy shred the defense in the spring scrimmage. No clue why this idiot coaching staff isn’t playing him. This guy should be starting! We’d absolutely be 6-0 rather than 1-5 if we had this beast under center rather than that hack of a starter. What? We said the same thing about the current starter when he was the backup? Oh. Right. But this kid is different.

Back-up QB is almost always the most popular player on the team, as the saying goes.

They would be proven correct about Lee if he fails.

I think many people had the same view last year regarding JJ and hoped for him to fail.

All I have ever wanted was for the best player to be in there. After Lee saved a couple of games for us last year, and JJ played about as poorly as a QB on a super-talented team could play, it appeared to me that Lee had earned the right to start. I think many fans agreed...Les did not.

What it all boils down to is that Lee now has his chance to prove he can be the guy. Saturday night, he played pretty well, and by most football standards Dan's screenshot analysis demonstrated that our receivers got two hands on most of his passes. Fans that don't like Lee define dropped passes differently than people that like Lee.

No matter what our fans think, I would bet you that our receivers feel that they should have caught each of those passes.

I also am pretty sure that Lee would tell you he was not satisfied with his accuracy. This is a trait in Lee that I really like.

If Lee does not show that he can be the guy over the next couple of games, I am hopeful that Les will start looking at other options.

Fingers are crossed that he won't need to...
