There it is

It wasn't a team effort first. It wasn't Saban fricking up by trying to kick some bombs for FG, and it wasn't our defense smothering when it counted.

It was JJ, all alone. And experts such as yourself know for a fact that Lee couldn't have thrown the deep ball to Shep. And before you say "they were respecting the option"... even CBS showed the secondary blow coverage and 3 guys bolt to Peterson.

Lee had a shitty game. But for some reason it's just accepted as fact that Lee couldn't have gotten us a field goal like JJ did.

There what is? Lee was clearly ineffective against BAMA. Is that really under dispute?!? No one is suggesting JJ did anything earth shattering, merely that his skill set was better suited to beating BAMA that day.

BTW, have you ever suggested that if it were not for Lee coming in during a game in 2001 LSU would have lost? PLENTY here have suggested that...was it all Lee back then?

Always funny.

JL is Keiland Williams at the QB position. Les just doesn't trust JL. Its as simple as that.

The same game plays out at bama and the lee only crowd would be hooting and hollering about how lee took the team on his back and got the W in Tuscaloosa.

Just give credit where it is due. Jefferson did what we needed that game. He made plays with his feet.and ran the option well that game. Bama isnt great at stopping dual threat qbs. Jefferson was a big reason why we won but certainly not the only reason.

If it is always someone else's fault when Jefferson has a negative play, then there is no criticizing him

I'll gladly criticize him when it's warranted. I criticized his safety against WVU (albeit in a different manner than most.) But the complete unawareness of situation by LSU fans kills me. Most fans only have the ability to watch the person with the ball and then sprint to their computers to criticize that player without ever taking into account the situation in which they were placed.

And that isn't limited to Jefferson. Lee suffered much of the same fate in 2008. Until this year, neither QB was ever consistently put into a situation to succeed. Their hands were bound before they took the snap.

And recent college football history (2000-2011) consistently points to the same culprit.

How can you say this when Lee is more apt to throw the devastating INT? Also, how can you say this when you see Lee bail out after nearly every throw?

you're fricking kidding right?

JL has 3 picks this season.

I'd say the extremely high number of sacks JJ takes is more of a threat than the slim chance JL throws an int

The quote was "without JJ, we lose to Bama"

Irritating that he gets all the credit for wins, and Lee is just a manager.

Lee struggled, obviously, but to think that the offense couldn't have gotten 1 field goal drive with him (deep pass referenced on blown coverage could have easily been Lee) is wrong.

i think it was poor coaching to have lee throw the pass he did on the 2nd INT, but that's for another thread.

---

I doubt that was poor coaching...poor coaching would imply a bad play call. I thought it was a good idea to have him come out throwing..showed confidence in him. He just made a bad read. SO no it wasnt coaching...

It wasn't a team effort first.

It most certainly was a team effort. Without Reid, we lose the game. Without Big Sam, we lose the game. Without Michael Ford, we lose the game. I like how you assuume I think JJ won it for us. Lee was rattled in that game. We would not have moved the football that night vs that defense.
