Hold on now. I've seen plenty of plays that make me believe that J.J. has a stronger arm than J.L., not that that's a key factor in who should start/play.
I don't think you're an idiot. I don't think J.L. doesn't have a good/SEC arm.
But, decision making is important. Being able to throw on the run is important. Accuracy is important.
If you give me the old line of "quick release" or "throwing mechanics", I'm going to challenge you. That's what they said before we got into this mess.
Just give me your opinion, not someone else's, and we'll be fine.

I think Jarret Lee needs a couple of beers before the game....you know to loosen up....and he would be free wheeling and dealing back there.
Seriously though the pick 6's are the reason so many are anti Lee. Those turned into points and fell on his shoulders.
That high of a percentage is a fluke.
I am happy that Jefferson played well and I hope Lee recovers his confidence this spring, because the SEC is brutal, and we are one good lick from having either one of them starting for us.
Hopefully "10" can just get his feet wet this year in positive situations. By his Junior or Senior year we will finally have our next Heisman winner....thats right I said it....

Lee has experience(though it may not be good experience) vs. the upper tier teams in the SEC
that alone will make him a serious contender for the starting job next year

Im pulling for the kid to start because I want to see him wow all of college football
but you don't know that he would this year
hell, i root for jared mithcell every year b/c i know he is a good guy on and off the field, BUT i certinaly don't want him to start
he hasn't been good enough
IF Shepard proves he should start in 2009, okay, i'll jump on the bandwagon.....right now, i'm just hoping he can throw a 10 yard out at the college level

I want the kid to prove to everyone he has what it takes at QB and winning the job and then playing well at it would do just that.
IF he proves to the coaches and wins the job..okay. it makes all the sense in the world to want him to be the starter. as of now, he hasn't done that. as of now, he hasn't done anything
the only reason you want him to be the starter is b/c of personal opinions, not what has been don on the field in a game or practice (which is what i have said all along)

just because Miles said once again this morning in a times-picayune article dated 3-6-09 that JJ will battle Shep for the starting position doesn't mean that JL is as much in it as Chris Garrett. All 4 plus another walk-on have an equal shot at it. But I would say that the favorites are the two that miles keeps mentioning, and its not JL.

after 8 games starting, we still don't know if Lee can complete a 10 yard out to a player that plays for our team. At least with Shep we don't know what would happen if he throws the ball, we saw what happens when Lee throws the ball and it's not a pretty sight. Even if Shep can't throw worth a lick, we know he brings other attribute tos the table, Lee doesn't. The whole arguement of JL starting over JJ is ridiculous.

no he didn't
james varney said that...no miles
but yes, everyone knows JJ will battle shepard. he will also battle Lee, garrett etc
what he said was "j jefferson will battle true freshman r shepard according to miles"
miles did not come out and say the starting qb position is a battle between jefferson and lee
it would make ZERO sense to do so now

yes we do, but that just shows how irrational you can be

right...having a better freshman season than mathew stafford proved to me the kid just cannot throw the football........EVER!

are you trying to miss the point, or do you just do it so naturally it has become like second nature? are you even reading peoples posts to try and comprehend them, or just waiting to puke all over your keyboard to argue?

It says 'the staff has a light pencil depth chart, including QB, where sophomore Jordon Jefferson will battle true freshman Russell Shepard, according to Miles' that is per the article "according to Miles"

so does every team in the country going into spring
its how they determine who will run with what units
we know what miles has said...i quoted in this thread yesterday

nah uh!
JL is a good QB and will do well! (in non-contact QB drills)

you really not to stop taking the words of sports writer for a crappy newspaper as the words of Miles
takes miles words for miles, not someone elses interpretation
ANYONE who knows miles knows he would not name a starter (or eliminate a qb with as much experience as lee) right now
chances are he probably won't "officially" name a starter till august...its just not how he does thing

just his failure to even mention JL means something. He says Shep will come in to battle JJ for the starting position. Sure every one else has a shot at it including JL, CG and unnamed walkon.

quote:All true, but even more than that, with Miles you have to read between the lines. His not even mentioning Lee in the conversation tells me that Lee is #3 at best going into the Spring. JJ and RS will get the majority of the 1st team snaps. Lee maybe 10% if he's lucky. Just because he doesn't "name" a starter or we don't see a depth chart doesn't mean there isn't one in his head.
