yeah, he needs a speechwriter. JJ needs to take the silent assassin approach here.

That's actually a good point. They were there they know what happened. We don't.

You are a pretty odd duck, no?
Are you saying he needs to apologize to his teammates. But, do so where you can ear it?
What are you saying?
in a perfect world JJ would decide to apologize to his teammates and the fans because he is a team leader and by fighting he put his ability to stay on the team at risk. If he doesn't have the humility and/or maturity to do this then IDC to harp on the issue (am only replying to people refusing to understand this point of view)
Bottom line an apology is just in his own best interest because it makes the issue go away to some extent and makes him look like a mature team leader after the fight. For teh balance of his time at LSU he really has kept his nose clean (no history of getting in trouble) - so doing what he can to make the issue go away is just common sense

This just seems like more evidence that Miles's patronizing behavior is harming JJ's character.
This whole JJ PR-campaign has been a charade since near the beginning of this year. Pretty fricking pathetic.

Everyone was excited to see how the offense improved before the season started. He was one of the reasons we got such a high preseason ranking. Now he is chopped liver to someof you.

Nothing wrong with that, Maybe some players owe him the apology?

Jesus kid, just apologize to your teammates, the fans, and tiger nation. Promise to do better. And let's move on.
They are just making this shite worse.

To be fair shouldn't the JJ attackers stop too? What give them an open season license?
It would be nice, but it comes with the territory of being in the spotlight.

I am assuming here that you have certain evidence that he hasn't apologised to the team.
i never assumed he has or hasnt.

And when you spend your entire offseason investing in the development of a key player, there is a risk involved when hes made unavailable, otherwise that time would have been better spent focusing on another player.
That may be the least logical statement I have read during this entire affair. Do you believe that the entire coaching staff's total attention was toward Jefferson and none to other players? Especially in football when any one play could end a career, the need for quality back ups is paramount. Reference: Florida.
I couldnt disagree with you more. The sole reason being these two play two extremely different games. a huge percentage of JJs plays, Lee cant run. Lee could have had most of the starting reps in the offseason, instead of 25% or whatever his portion was. Lee himself even admitted he's gotten better since the Oregon game as coaches have been working with him on his mechanics.

you think him saying sorry is gonna keep people from booing him?
I only know this is going down cus im on the rant, and not everyone that sits in dv reads the rant.
Him apologizing for something he did or didnt do isnt going to make this go away. All the people asking for it, know deep down inside it wont. So for the few of you it might be good enough, but i doubt yall were the ones booing.

Why is this even happening with no apology?
Yet he is quoted saying the goal is starting, Miles will start him this year, I just feel it.

We had a high preseason ranking due to our amazing talent levels and defense. We were going to be Top 10 regardless. The victories on the field and the improvement off our offensive management are what put us to #1.

For causing the team all these distractions

In a perfect world holier-than-thou fans wouldn't personally attack a college athlete because he didn't live up to the fans' performance expectations.In a perfect world adults could separate game performance from personality.

If that were valid then each and every player that participated in the event in any way should apologize. We don't know that they have or have not.

It seems to be a deep personal issue with you, contradicting your stated position.

Again you have no certainty that none has been issued. Perhaps you are asking for a personal statement as a punishment without which there is no redemption? Interesting.

It is people like you have have stretched this issue out.

100% agree.
For some reason a few people are going above and beyond to try to make JJ something he isnt... I just dont get it... Didnt 2 months ago when all this started still dont now.

The Miles-JJ relationship is puzzling. I was amazed at the glowing terms he used to describe JJ's play last year (when we were all watching the games) and how Miles describes Lee's play in a similar situation. It appears to me that JJ will be the starting QB very soon.
