I really wish Miles had started Lee in the second half so we wouldn't have to hear this crap. The end result would have been the same and the second guessers could move on to the next thing.
Some of the Lee supporters would have just screamed that Les should have started him and that he never had a chance to get into a rhythm. They weren't going to be satisfied after they thought that Lee was somehow slighted when JJ was let back on the team and named the starter.

This is silly. How do YOU know at the time that JJ wasn't going to turn it around and move the offense? All either side has to go on at the time the decision is being made is both players' past performances.

I think most people dont think Lee wouldve made a diff and the way our line was playing, may have been worse than JJ( kind of hard to do) but they are upset he at least didnt get a shot or that we didn't try something. It's the title game. You try everything in the arsenal and then you dont have the what ifs.

This is generally the way I feel. Of course playing the numbers the way Miles did by keeping JJ in was absolutely reasonable and arguably the best choice. Plus, despite the anemic offense, the defense was keeping us close and it was reasonable to gamble on a break at some point. I'm just of the mindset that on such a big stage, you may have to go all in sooner rather than later.

Midway through the 3rd quarter I'm yelling at the tv," the fricking option isnt working, you have to try something else!"

Thanks for proving my point

Did you even read what I wrote? I don't have a problem with JJ getting the nod against Bama.
But in the last 8 quarters of the season, JJ combined for 83 yards passing with 2 turnovers. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. After 7 quarters of bad QB play, make the switch. It probably wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game, but try using your own logic.

so by your definition going with what has never worked against Alabama (inserting Lee) would be better than staying with what has worked quite well in the past against Bama (Jefferson) would have been the better course.
Like the saying goes 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over (playing Lee against Bama) and expecting a different result (Lee having success against Bama)
At least with Jefferson we have had success in the past against Bama thus proving Miles is not insane.
We were still in the game so Miles had to go with the better option that gave us a possibility (though a long shot) for success. We were still trying to win the game. If we had thrown in the towel, as ya'll seem to have wanted to, I would be all for letting Lee get in the game. I liked Lee a lot and would have been very worried about the long term consequences to his health and well being if he would have got in that game.

According to a lot of people, Lee had checked out v Bama in Tuscaloosa and was just marking time.
Apparently he bailed on the team.
That's the only logical conclusion. As poorly as JJ played he would have been pulled for Lee early on just as Lee got pulled in Tuscaloosa.
I'm guessing Miles say what bam was doing to JJ and didn't want to play Mett and get him killed or lese Mett would have given it a go. But that's just my guess.
Now everyone focuses on JJ and how bad he played, but he certainly wasn't the only one. Our OL played a terrible game too.
It's almost as if Bama knew our plays and was in the huddle with us because they beat us off the snap, at the point of attack, and handled us as if we were in high school.
