Why not burn his redshirt? You think he wants to be in the same class as Sheppard? Start JJ against Tulane. We will beat Tulane on talent alone. Why not let the kid have some fun and lets see what he's made of? Benching Lee may wake him up and light a fire under his arse for Bama.

I don't get it, do you think he enjoys making mistakes? If you think a RS Freshman with a good arm is having growing pains, what the frick do you think is going to happen with a true Freshman?

Flip side of the QB argument: why hasn't our D generated more turnovers? We have, what, 7 in 7 games so far?

The D has not shown up at all, plain and simple. We knew the QBs would struggle. But the D was supposed to bail us out.

at least playing Jefferson now will get him ready for next season. If He starts getting a lot of playing time now we won't be in th same situation next season as we were this season of starting a QB with no quality game experience under his belt. It's hard for me to believe that he could be any more innaccurate than Lee and were fricked against bama with Lee starting anyway, might as well go with the future now.

So let me get this straight, after a full season pretty much being the full time starter, you think that Jarrett Lee will not get any better?

And seriously, you would want to start another first year QB again next year?

Go with the future? The point of playing one player (in this case Lee) is to get them experience so that they will be better in the future. Constantly switching quarterbacks to appease the fans or "going with the hot hand" is a sure-fire way to keep our team playing at this level.

Go with the future... you're right. Leave Lee in there and let him progress and get better.

Your argument is a logical fallacy. Google it. You may learn something.

People that have the above thought pattern concerning our QB's at first made me mad, now its becoming comical. part of you idiots think JJ starts next yr, other part thinks RS starts next yr....
only thing i think is that none of us no what pressure and how hard of a job it is on a fresh qb to play in the sec. The dude guy is taking his lumps as we speak, and some of you want to go back with more inexperience. FUKING STUPID.

How is putting in a true freshman that has taken on snap for an option run to replace a RS freshman going to solve anything?
I guess it's like working a problem while trying to find "x". You sometimes have to use different numbers to arrive at "x". JJ is just another number.

Why can't LSU start Hatch, and let the team get into a groove. Bring in Lee (like in the Auburn game) to make throws every 3rd or 4th series. LSU has a powerful run blocking O-line and should rely on it. Hatch limits the play book, but he doesn't turnover the ball, and Lee will still get experience taking about 10 - 15 snaps a game!

Also, as some stated, the D isn't here. Last year the D saved Flynn's arse more than a few times.

Not really. There's many a QB that can throw a few picks and not score any TD's to make up for them.

My dad would call you people fair-weather fans. You people jump on the bandwagon when we go undefeated or lose 1 game, but anything else happens and you start calling for people's heads.

You have to take the good with the bad. This isn't NCAA 09. In reality, teams lose every now and then. We aren't playing on Junior Varsity and scoring 120 points every game. We're playing real life and you never know what can happen.

That's why the game is played.

If you take away the points directly attributed to Lee intercptions (17 points), WE WIN 38-35. We may have won with a higher margin had the defense not been force to deal with playing against Georgia and our own QB.

problem is when you lay out over 3 mil for a coach and have some to the highest paid assistants in the NCAA - you expect to be competitive

The losses can be dealt with - not being in the game--- that is a whole different story

I understand that Lee accounted for 14 points Saturday, but that still means we gave up 38 points on D. How many national championship teams do that? The last I checked every team in the last 15 years or so who have one a NC have had a top 5 defense. And since the only thing acceptable at LSU is a National Championship apparently, we NEED to improve our D.

Lee is a freshmen. There are senior quarterbacks all over the nation who can't hold a candle to his farts. That's my point.

ITs okay to support your team, and your favorite player-- but it also helps to be objective
