Sounds like both Lee and JJ, but Lee has an NFL-calibur release and more tangibles to work with. Lee's listed as 6'2 or 6'3, he's not short. Lee's not always inaccurate. In fact, he's generally much more accurate than JJ, he just throws the occasional lame duck or bad decision that winds up as a pick or pick 6.

Willie doesn't like Lee but hates when people criticize Jefferson....

He is like a few others who believe people "hate" Jefferson when they are critical of him but it is ok to be critical of Lee because he is "Pick 6 Lee"

I laugh at them

The only reason Nall didn't start at LSU is because he had Rohan "Captain Awesome" Davey in front of him.

Lee had a quicker release, but Nall had everything else all over Lee.

Mechanics, doesn't stare down receivers as bad, release, footwork is actually better than JJ's until he's pressured, passes better (except for when he makes bad decisions and gets picked).

NFL teams can fix things like this. But they can't when the tangibles are as bad as JJ's.

as bad, or worse.

Nope. They are a push at best. . .but JJ is likely ahead of Lee.

Lee has perfectly miserable footwork. Among the worst I have ever seen. Pressure or no

quote:

passes better
moderately.

I think you guys are parroting memes.

The only tangible Lee has is a quick release. That is it.

The only tangible JJ has is mobility.

It's possible, maybe even likely. My worst fear as a Saints fan would be to see the Falcons upgrade at QB by taking Lee. Kid's got an uncanny Favre-like gunslinger ability to make mind-boggling throws, and he share's some of Brees' physical attributes- specifically height and maybe weight. Coupled with a huge confidence boost from being able to play on an SEC team, which we all acknowledge to be the pinnacle of organized football.

I just hope the Falcons don't read this and get the scoop. I'd dread Gregg Williams' defense having to face Lee instead of Ryan twice a year.

Tangibles isn't only what they do strongly, but everything a person does mechanically and their physical attributes, which JJ is bigger than Lee.. So to say "JJ's only tangible is running" is B.S. unless you mean to say "The only thing he's got going for him is running". Same goes for Lee.

And Lee's mechanics are better, simply put. There's no arguing that, that's why Lee's a better passer. But he can't keep a level head and JJ is better about that and he can run, which is why he's starting for LSU.

I mean his only tangible that would benefit him in the eyes of scouts.

That is what we are talking about here, right?

What do you mean mechanics? Footwork is a big part of "mechanics".

Are you saying that Lee's quick release is all that encompasses "mechanics"?

Lee has shitty mechanics. . .he just has a quick release.

quote:

I just did, and you are wrong.

quote:

he is a better passer, but not by a large margin.

His mechanics are better than JJ. If he didn't, he wouldn't be a better passer. Lee has "happy feet" when he gets nervous, but if not for that his mechanics are better. Feet, doesn't have a wind-up, the follow through, all part of his mechanics. He doesn't have as strong of an arm as JJ so he has to have better mechanics to make throws. That's why he can zip passes into slants and throws a prettier pass.

No, you're arguing something that's not true. You are wrong. I can agree to disagree here but there's no way Lee's a better passer with worse mechanics.

quote:

I never stated he was by a large margin, but he throws a prettier pass and can make more throws than JJ. When he does quick throws and the pressure isn't getting to him he can zip it in quickly, that's why his 2 minute drills are usually pretty good and he can come in and save games. But he doesn't have the arm for long bombs.

There are plenty of QB's with bad mechanics that are good passers.

VY had shitty mechanics in college, but led the league in pass efficiency.

His release is the only thing that is better than JJ. JJ sets his feet and squares his shoulders considerably better than Lee.

Lee sucks at intermediate and short passes.

I just proved it is possible.

Kerry Collins had odd mechanics, too.

I remember Matt Detillier's report from that camp.

Something along the lines of the coach wondering how this kid got there. That he was the worst guy at the camp, by a large margin.

He reported that on Scout msg board, and LSU fans ripped him for it.
