You're too stupid to understand this, but I'll try to explain it to you anyway. You idiots who think Lee was "benched" as some sort of punishment for his mistakes are looking at it wrong. He was not being punished, he was simply being replaced by the better player. That's it. So when JJ makes a mistake and is not pulled, it's not that Les isnt' being "fair," it's that there is no better player to replace JJ with. Benchings aren't necessarily punishments, and of course the better player is going to get more rope. They're the fricking better player.

I understand why people would complain about JL not getting an extra series when we were up 21. I would love to see him bounce back, but there was still nine minutes plus left in the game, which is a lot of time.

We scored 21 points in less than 5 minutes. 9 minutes to go in the game--especially this game-- against the number 3 team in the country was not the time to empty the bench and hold hands and sing Kumbaya making sure everybody got a chance to play.

So Les couldnt let Lee make one last pass in TS? I would like to know why from Miles. JJ brings an extra dimension to the game but Lee is the better passer.
Hell, JJ still throws too high for the receivers. It's evident when they have to stop and jump another foot in the air to catch his balls.

There is nothing to blame Les for.... no coach gives the fans (and other teams) the blueprint for the season, which could change at any given time.. some of you act like other coaches conduct a poll every week to see who starts at each position

This is true.

Les thinks JJ is the best qb on the team. If that is a true statement, he did not put the best qb on the field when JJ returned. And, it almost cost us the Bama game.

This is funny. Les gave Lee a fair shot . . . something the critics have accused him of not doing. Should have he phased in Jefferson earlier? Maybe. Maybe not. All I know is that the quarterback position has been working so far.
