So I have been hearing some less than flattering things about Jefferson recently.

such as?

I pointed this out his freshman year from the photos of the fall practices and got bashed endlessly by the Positigers. Some people just can't accept any reality that takes them out of their comfort zone. That said, he's still better than Jarret Lee.

Same here...I once said on here prior to last season that JJ will be more akin to Marcus Randall than Jamarcus Russell. I was bashed for about four pages. I also stated (maybe in another thread, cannot remember) that JJ would be like any other inexperienced QB in the SEC, he would look good at times and bad at times...that prediction came true.

However, I also stated on here last season that I thought Lee should get a chance situationally to see how the team responded to him...I was proven wrong about that and am man enough to admit it...I was proven wrong in the Bama game.

Here is the deal with Lee and it is very apparent, I believe. HE IS SCARED OF CONTACT. You cannot be a football player, even a QB and be scared to get hit. I really believe it is that simple and that it flows into every other aspect of his game. It affects his mental state while in the game and thus his decision making ability.

Unfortunately, there is really no way to overcome that problem.

JJ is our QB whether we like it or not. He is our best option. We want a fix that is all world and right now we do not have that.

Moreover, we do not currently have a coach that can develope QBs. I did not like Fisher, but the guy can develope QBs. I think there is a reason why our QB play dropped off drastically with Flynn...he was the last guy that spent a majority of his career under Fisher's coaching.

Such as he can't even complete a sentence let alone a pass. When I hear that the starting QB is not smarter than a 5th grader, it really worries me. I personally have been a big fan of Jefferson, and really want him to succeed. But hearing about his inability to develop and learn the play book is troubling to say the least.

Everything I've read JJ is a much better leader this year.

I read the same shite last year, and that we had the best OL Miles had ever had at LSU.

Everything I've read JJ is a much better leader this year. Yall are going by facial expressions. I see frustration saying damn... catch the ball help me out.

your blind as a bat...Those guys in that locker room have to say that he is doing things to try and become a leader...but when its time to shine he folds like a cheap lawn chair....would you follow that guy?....thats what I thought...talk is cheap, the proof is in the pudding, he has to prove that he can do it to those guys, otherwise he's a fraud...he needs to let his play do the talking and keep his mouth shut...

I've been hearing since RP that we've just not had an experienced quarterback and that's why our production has fallen. There won't be any excuse to hang on to "the wizard" after next fall if we don't see any dramatic increase in offensive production. I'll say it again. We recruite top ten classes and are in the bottom 15 in offensive production. This is a schematic problem, not a talent problem. These guys being in their third years playing qb at LSU should be more developed than they've shown. The guys around them (offensive line) should be more developed than they've shown. The #1 dual threat qb in the nation has never thrown a pass, not one, in college. This comes down to coaching decisions, not 20 year old kids.

The sack stat is just as relevant as the interception stat...

because they aren't playing as well as we could if we went out there. don't you get it?

So getting sacked and punting the ball changing the field position for 40 yards is the same as a INT?
