re: I thought JJ played well "most" of the year

The strangest thing about analyzing JJ is the fact that his style of tuck and run rather than spotting an open receiver often resulted in somewhat positive yardage stats, however, the opportunity cost of cannot really be captured to indicate the times when the tuck and run for 3 yards was a poor choice when a 15-20 yard reception was a possibility. In other words, I think he was worse than the stats indicate.

Yep and I really wanted this to change under a new OC, but amazingly the offense reverted to '10 by making JJ the focal point.
It was a terrible decision last year and a moronic decision this year.
JJ took carries and receptions away from better playmakers last year and the same happened the last two games this year. Pure insanity from Miles.

lsumatt, as usual you have the most astute observations. That is the question , I will never understand and granted everyone makes mistakes and hopefully we all learn from them. Why in the hell did Miles not continue in the fashion that brought him to the dance, i.e. just like you said , lee as the starter with seeing about 75 percent of the reps and JJ with a coming off the bench role with about 25 percent of the snaps. This was what was working. Now I know that Lee had the 2 picks during Bama but that was no reason to bench him. My gosh our next game was against WKU. It just doesnt make sense and then the MNC was just a culmination of what started before the WKU game and as you stated JJ I guess by this time knowing he was the man reverted back to all his old habits or maybe was playing the starter role and had more time to go back to his bad habits as opposed to his coming off the bench role. I know its time to move on and Im heading in that direction but I know that Miles has to be smarter than this.

Wasn't it Jefferson himself who said his biggest motivating factor was Jarrett Lee?

He had no turnovers to my knowledge until the Arky game, ran the option and read's better than he ever has

The end of the saga is welcomed!
I was calling for Lee after the shovel int in the mulligan game as much as I was calling for JJ after Lee's second int and deer in the headlights look in the first Bama game.
I think we would have lost that second game with Lee taking the field anyway but it would have erased that give up feeling that the game took on for days afterwards.
It's still amazing that LSU had that many wins with bad qb play over the last few years.

with JJ LSU in now somewhere in the 110's

I thought he peaked through the first four games, then went down after that - hit the bottom against Georgia and started drilling against Bama.
