re: Jordan Jefferson is not ready

Fair enough. But we're still a 7-3 football team and I guarantee you, he will learn from these mistakes and be a very, very good quarterback for LSU over the duration of his career.

But then again, you're the one who said JJ threw the ball well, so you have no credibility here.

Yeah..but the 2nd year QB did play a signifcant amount during their title run and was exposed to high pressure games.

Fair point with Cox. Hopefully Lee turns out better than Cox does.

But as a whole the situation is unique and that was what I meant in my initial point.

SlowFlowPro, I counted at least two that were bad throws that easily were dropped or saved by WRs and another two that should've been picked. Now those kinds of throws happen to all QBs, even the best ones, but against better opponents they are picked.

I will stand corrected that it was 4 in the whole game outside of 1 that was picked, but at least 2 ocurred in the last 20 minutes when we were coming back.

To BigBoy, he could very well improve, and I hope that he does, but it as to happen mentally, because his mentality is what kills him during the game. He forces throws that NO QB should make even a RS Freshman or True Freshman.

That being said, he will be much better next year. Pick sixes are a lot of luck, but don't tell me 7 in 10 games is bad luck especially when 3 to 4 more (or 11 out of his 15) could easily have gone in the Endzone. He had one in Appy, USCe, and a second in the Bama game just to name a few.

Luck played a part, but not more than any other player that throws INTs.

i personally think shep ends up playing a hybrid role of percy harvin with the threat of throwing

i may be wrong, but i dunno if he'll ever become a full time QB guy, but he doesn't have to be

See my point earlier about the speed of the game. Once the game slows down for Lee, like it does for quarterbacks as they get more experience, he will be much better and use sounder judgment.

I'll take our 2 balls over Texas' 1. Rivals and Espn150 thinks he's a pretty good QB FWIW.

umm do u remember jack hunt. played wr in high school.came to lsu and started at free safety. people switch pos all the time. he could be a hell of an wide out u never know

But my point is that in 10 games it has yet to slow down for him at all, so what makes you think it will slow down anymore next year?

I am just saying he's shown almost no progression at all and in many cases has regressed.

The only people who can judge this are his coaches who understand the nuances of the game. Not a bunch of wanna be coaches on message boards.

I think what you saw in the 2nd half last night was very positive and you will see him build on that.
