We won by five TDs against one of the best defenses in the nation and were up 21-10 four minutes into the 3rd. Les would have had to suffering a brain fart to have changed QBs.



We had something like 30 yards of offense at halftime. Les even said that he was considering making the switch.

It was 10-7 at half. I'm not sure what the score with 4 minutes to go in the third has to do with this. He should have been pulled in the 1st half. Same with the national title after his 2nd turnover and our 50 yards. I have no problem with him pulling Lee when he struggled. The leash should have gone both ways

The difference is that when facing those particular teams, both of which boasted Top 5 passing defenses, switching to a more gifted passer who is no threat to run is less effective than committing to the running game.

I'm not sure how anyone thinks we could have anything differently on offense against Alabama with a degree of success. Courtney Upshaw, Donta Hightower, and CJ Mosley weren't allowing ANY plays to develop.

Jefferson signed and played in the last 10 years. He was the #8 PS QB on Rivals. Didn't you know that?

Mettenberger signed and played in the last 10 years. He was the #8 PS QB on 247. Didn't you know that?

Harris signed and played in the last 10 years. He was the #3 DT QB on 247 and the #5 DT QB on Rivals. Didn't you know that?


PRO TIP: I'm not going to tell you how to post; however, I will offer a suggestion. If you want to appear knowledgeable about LSU QBs, it helps to actually HAVE KNOWLEDGE about LSU QBs.

SU won that game at Bama cause the LSU players made the plays to win it and the Bama players didn't. And all I said bout JJ was that he came in to "help" us win the game. If you cant bring yourself to give the guy any credit in helping the team win, that's your problem and not mine


no you mouth breathing mongoloid, LSU won because bama's kicker had the worst night of his life and LSUs defense played out of their mind.

Jefferson went 6/10 for 67 yards, I hardly see how that helped us. the fact that you put "help" in quotes seems to me that you even concede that he had very little bearing on the game.

Long post but worth reading every word. Facts. No bullshite, just facts and it shows very well what went into the qb situation that year. Too bad it will mean nothing to the luny tunes that post here.

its the fact that we didn't even try. somehow, LSU was still in that game for 3 quarters.

could Lee come back and win that game? no.

but could Lee have been a spark to inspire confidence and at least make it a fight? we'll never know. THAT my friend is what irks people about 1/9/12. not the loss, its the never knowing what would have happened. Jefferson may have "saved" us in the GOTC (debatable) but he literally threw the game away on 1/9 and Lee was never even afforded an opportunity.

There is no way you believe that your list consists of Top 10 QBs, now that we've seen them play. But I did notice that you left off RS? Why? Is it because youre flat out admitting that Miles ruins Top rated QBs? Wasn't he #1? I think we all know the answer to that question

Which actually proves his point

And BTW, Mett? He signed with Ga when he held those rankings.

Now this is my most favorite of all your idiotic comment of yours so far. Where to begin:

Lee and JJ played the same number of years, during the exact same timeframe, with and against the same coaches, players, and playing conditions

JJ started 18 MORE games, Yet ..............

JJ only had 2 more TDs than Lee
54 more sacks than Lee
15 more fumbles than Lee
9 games of >100 yards passing to Lee's 2
1 less interception than Lee
Won 75% of his starts vs Lee's 78%
and in games where the other QB did not play, Lee = 35.1 ppg, JJ = 28.7 ppg
Lets not even talk about the number of blown TOs or delay of game penalties when each was at QB
And the ends of the Ole Miss, and Tenn games

I don't think theres any doubt who moved the offense better.

Ga. had the # 4 ranked pass defense in the nation, the #3 total D, and the #9 rush D at the time we played them. Outside of Bama, they were and by far the best D we faced all that yr. Why is it such a big deal to some that we struggled to move the ball at 1st in this game? A game that was 10-7 at the 1/2 and a game we scored 21 pts to take a commanding lead in the 3rd quarter.

I guess a better question is why are we even discussing a 2011 game we won by 32 while SP is going on in 2015??? This might be the biggest thread hijack in the history of the Rant!

It's mind boggling that there are people who got the opportunity to watch both those qbs play and will openly say 4 years later that JJ outplayed JL and was better.


Lee was twice the qb as a SR than a fresh.
JJ was worse as SR than he was as a fresh.
That's not an opinion.

I often thought when JJ would audible at line with his hands behind his back that he was just pointing to tell the rb's which way to run.

Watch this YouTube link.

Listen to what Gary says to Verne about the way to beat Bama.

Then watch the next four plays.

One would have to be blind to not see how Jefferson helped to win the game.

LSU did not run well against top five defenses. In the first half of the SECCG, LSUs' RBs gained 21 yards on 9 attempts. That's 2.3 YPC. On one possession, Jefferson completed a 9 yard pass on first down. LSU's RBs ran the ball twice and could not get the first down. The first half of the SECCG sucked for the entire LSU offense. During the BCSCG, LSU's RBs gained 24 yards for the whole game.

The problem with the BCSCG and the first half of the SECCG is that LSU's offense did not work against those defenses. The problem was the offensive line. For the BCSCG, the O-line couldn’t move the Bama D-line, and they couldn’t hold them back either. There was no run game, and there was no time to pass.

In nearly every series of the BCSCG, the offense line failed to execute on at least one play. Bama had the best defense in college football. It would have been difficult to beat Bama unless they made a costly mistake or the offense executed at a very high level.

Even though Bama had flipped its offensive strategy, it does not necessarily mean that LSU should have. Hindsight is always 20/20, and we know now that LSU’s plan did not work. However, LSU trailed Georgia 10-0 at the half in the SECCG. The offense was atrocious the first half but came around in the second half, and LSU blew out Georgia. It was not unreasonable for Miles to go with the strategy that worked so well in the SECCG. It was at least as reasonable as trying a QB that was the antithesis of the ideal QB to use against Bama.

Jefferson was the right choice for the entire game. Lee would have been ineffective. Jefferson in the pocket slowed down the Bama rush because Bama used a mush rush to contain Jefferson and prevent him from running. It’s the same idea LSU used against Manziel to keep him from breaking off long runs. Slow the rush and contain the QB. Bama would not have used a mush rush against Lee because Lee is no threat to run.

So if Miles put in Lee, there’s still no run game, and now there is even less time to pass. If there is one thing Bama feasts on, it’s immobile pocket passers. Lee’s historic numbers against Bama confirm this fact. His QB Rating against Bama could fit in a shoe box.

The statement to which I responded: "LSU hasn't had a Top 10 QB sign and play in almost 10 years." Although listed as a QB for high school, most folks did not think Shepard would play QB in college, and most folks don't consider Shepard as playing QB at LSU. Thus, Shepard did not fit either of the requisite criteria. That's why I left off Shepard.

Miles does not ruin QBs. QBs develop under Miles:



Regular season SEC games.


quote:

Lee and JJ played the same number of years, during the exact same timeframe, with and against the same coaches, players, and playing conditions


First, Lee had the benefit of a RS year before Jefferson even got to LSU. But okay, they both saw playing time during the same four-year period.

Second, Lee skipped most of 2009 when LSU's offensive line was terrible. And Lee looked terrible in 2009 when he did play.

Third, in 2010, as the Two-Minute Drill QB, Lee succeeded on the final drives in the Tennessee and Florida games only because he got to use fourth downs on each of those drives. Jefferson had to get 10 yards in three plays during those two games. Lee got the benefit of four downs to get 10 yards.

Third, Lee got the majority of starts after Crowton left, and that's when both QBs and the offense played much, much better.

quote:

You're right. Jefferson started three regular season games during 2011. Every game he started was better than every one of Lee's games. LSU's three best games for moving the offense during the 2011 season ALL occurred when Jefferson started.

So, no, there's NO doubt who moved the offense better.

Both statements ARE opinions. Both statements are NOT facts.

I agree that Lee was much better as a senior than a freshman. The chart I posted earlier in this thread confirms that opinion. Although the facts don't suggest that he was twice as good, he certainly developed as a QB.

Jefferson was also much better as a senior than a freshman. The facts confirm that opinion.

Both Lee and Jefferson improved two out of three years at LSU. The facts confirm it.

then consider me ray charles.

for the ENTIRE GAME, bamas kicker was inaccurate, due to LSUs phenomenal ST and Defensive play.

I am a big believer in the saying that one play does not make the entire game. for the ENTIRE GAME, jeffersons QBR was 41.2. that is a paltry number.

sure, he made one clutch throw, but for the most part Jefferson was mehtastic. Les was looking for any reason to get Lee out of there. He wanted Jefferson as his starter for the entire season. Miles should have kicked Jefferson off the team at the beginning of the year when Jefferson showed his true colors suckerpunching someone in a bar parking lot.

JJs last two collegiate football games more than likely rank the lowest in recorded football history.
He missed 4-5 games so yeah to say he was worse is true

I'm not really sure what there is to argue here.
I know I was a big JL fanboy but my god you take all things JJ to the next fricking level.
There's a reason why most LSU fans would consider him their least favorite.
