JJ still gets sacked way to many times....(although they have gone down) I still dont believe he will ever change....I still think Jlee will get better with reps and has waaaaay more upside




LSU has allowed 17 sacks all year (#44 in the country). Jefferson has been sacked nine times; Lee has been sacked eight times.

Jefferson has attempted 155 passes when you include sacks, meaning he has been sacked once per 17.2 attempts.

Lee has attempted 91 passes when you include sacks, meaning he has been sacked once per 11.3 attempts.

Neither guy really has been bad in the sack department this year, but your "perception" is way off.

Not exactly since LSU was winning and that drive led to a punt and not a touchdown....


I'm talking about the drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter when we went up 21-14. That was the defining drive of the season.

I don't know if I buy this.

Again, our biggest problem is scheme and that lies on Crowton's shoulders. I don't trust him to do anything correctly.

I don't think its fair to judge either of these guys so long as Crowton is here. Neither has been put in a position to succeed.

Right. And it was certainly more important than the drive at the end of the Tennessee and Florida games.

I was just objecting to your statement that these were the two most important drives of the season.

Considering we were talking about drives by Lee... not sure exactly where you are going with that one. I still would not rank that as one of more important because LSU was tied at the time and there was still 8 minutes left on the clock.

actually that was a Ridley-led drive. JJ was 0 for 1 in passing on that drive...although the 2 pointer was a great play

Well, Lee tends to get an awful lot of credit for just being in the game on rushing led drives so I'm not sure why the same doesn't apply to Jefferson.

Jefferson had to huge plays on that drive - the two point conversation and the block on the reverse.

hard to compare...without the drives vs. TN and FL the Bama drive wouldn't have meant near as much. The FL drive certainly had much more pressure given the time and the fact that it was at Florida vs. home. The Bama drive, we just pounded Ridley down the field to take the lead.

Now, if you meant to say "two of the most" and not "two most," then I apologize.

I was just pointing out that Jefferson was in on "the" most important drive of the season.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree because to me that still was not the most important drive of season. Considering it was a tie, there was time left on the clock, etc.

Does Alabama win look better? Sure but without the other two then the Alabama win wouldn't matter.

dont know about that...timing has a lot to do with that...and its still 2-1....plus Ridley led that drive...the other two were because of lee throwing...so...oh well..

didnt really want to get into all this stuff, I really wanted to just ask if he has gotten a fair shake...i still believe he hasnt...

as soon as Lee stops throwing off of his back foot, he'll become the starter. I counted a couple passes, one a long TD pass, that would have been caught had he not underthrown the receiver.

wish it were that simple, but i dont think thats the problem...

dont get me wrong, throwing off your back foot is not what your suppose to do, but qb's do it all the time to save time, rather then step into their throws....

granted a slant over the middle or a deep ball needs to be stepped into to put zip on it...but qb's throw off their back foot all the time successfully if they have the arm...not saying Lee is favre, but he does have the better arm of the two...

example, if Im throwing a hot route to the TE, I can throw that ball quickly and accurately moving backwards, its called being athletic...I dont see lee throwing that way all the time...but I would agree that he does it too much...
