re: Lee Haters

Great post Trojan15.

I think alot of the BOO'S are directed at the coaching staff for not making a change. I have no doubt that Lee is our most prepared QB but he obviously has lost all confidence as would anyone is his position. Who cares if Jefferson isn't ready. Could he possibly do any worse? I am sure he can hand off and at least he is a run threat. Opposing LB'S just sit back and move with Lee's eyes because they know he won't run. Having a QB with the ability to run will open the middle up some because the LB'S will have to respect the run. Bottom line is we must try something new. The receivers are frustrated and Lee looks like he wants to vomit ever time he goes in the game. Tha kid is trying so hard to make a big play to get people off his arse he is forcing throws. Coaches need to step up. If they don't like Jefferson put in one of the ten "athlete" players we have on the schedule an die with the run. At least it will be a change.

Free education, meals, room and books. When a player get money for food too, it is usually more than they need for food and that is how they get the ipods and other gadgets. Knew an athlete in college who played softball and the money she had leftover was ridiculous. So even though he does not get cash in hand he is getting a huge amount handed to him for playing. So an out of state student pays roughly 12,000 a year for tuition four years puts him at 48,000 he does not have to pay. 250.00 a semester on books. That is another 2,000 he is handed. Not sure his living situation in college but you get the point. I hate hearing that these kids are not paid because if you are a scholarship athlete you get a pretty nice ride through college. In addition to all the cloths you are given by the school and bowls if your team makes one. Athletes are always in nothing but LSU cloths and warmups. They may not have the cars, houses and expensive jewelry, but they get a place to stay, free food, free cloths, some drive scooters, some have extra money after buying food. It is a job, only instead of getting cash, you get your living free and an education if you play your cards right.

Lee's problem is getting hit. He is afraid.

He doesn't look afraid of getting hit to me. He looks afraid of making another mistake. He does freak out a little when pressured, but pressure isn't causing the ints. He thinks his arm is strong enough to get the ball to the receiver before the defensive backs can get to it. But he's playing in the SEC now and the d'backs here get to it much faster than they did in when he was in high school. He hasn't played enough at SEC speed to judge when it's safe to throw the ball.
In the second half of the game at Auburn he got into a rhythm that we haven't been able to get him back into.
The kid throws a great deep ball when given time. The best he has looked is throwing the deep ball to his left while keeping two tight ends in to block. I am talking about that play to Byrd that they got a td on against Auburn. This works when we are running the ball well and it sets up Dickson feigning a block and then going out into the flat or to the middle uncovered for first down yardage. The deep ball is safe since an int of it is like a punt. Run it on fist down after a run for a first down.

sorry for the rambling but I thought I needed to add my 2 cents.
