From his performance did you have confidence he would get better as the game went on? Be honest.



Be honest. 6 pts isn't a huge barrier to overcome. One pass can make that happen. I don't get where you folk think this is some major offensive explosion to match.

Miles did the right thing to put JJ in the game when he did. Sometimes sitting a QB for a series or two helps settle him down. It worked out in the end, no one should be upset over the Bama game to begin with.

Do people credit Lee with wins from last year when he came in for JJ? I'll hang up and listen...


he most certainly got credit for the win vs florida last year. and tennessee too.

In my honest opinion, Jordan Jefferson is going to start the rest of the season



I believe Miles has made up his mind, so I agree.

You realize that Jefferson has a lower interception percentage than Lee since Bama '10, right? That's with a similar number of pass attempts.


Impressive, but my main point is minimizing negative plays and interceptions are but one type of negative play. Again, I think his pocket awareness is a crippling weakness--and hopefully won't be a costly one in terms of wins and losses. Now the JJ that runs QB wham and speed and load options, when his decision-making is right as it has been this year, has something to bring to the table. To me, that role should be ancillary and sparing, but it is certainly a valuable component.

I really believe on that second pick that the receiver was supposed to come back to the ball. Looked to me like miscommunication. I could be wrong though.


Seriously? Lee picked up a bad snap and threw it without looking at the defense. The receiver wasnt catching that no matter what route he ran

When it comes to starting, people should just let it go. We know what may or may not happen and it's been a nice ride for both QB's this year. Let's hope LSU wins the NC, and a new QB era starts next hear with hopefully someone that the fans can get behind, but not worship. Both of these guys have made good plays that have contributed to the success of the team but neither have been pivotal. Let Les play who he wants to play, hope for the W and move on.


Amen, plus the way coaches break down film now a days they see all the little nuances in each defense that they can exploit...plus they know their players...all the bickering back and forth is just a moo point. We are 10 - 0 in the first time in foreverrr...let's enjoy it

Either way this is Les Miles team. We see this team on Saturday; he sees them every waking day. I'm comfortable with whoever is behind the center...because Les is comfortable with whoever is behind the center.


This is what the JJ haters don't understand. When Lee was starting, there was no anger or clamor for JJ to start. There was no booing of JL.

The anger is exhibited over JJ starting and sometimes even playing. That brings about the sh@#$ing on JJ to justify the argument that JL should start. Then the JJ supporters or just fair play people feel obligated to support the notion that starting JJ is not the worst thing in the world, as some would argue. They bring out his positive qualities to justify why Miles might have chosen to start him over JL.

Some of us support which ever QB Miles chooses to start and do not feel the need to castigate his choice. Some of us do not support the denigrating any of the young men who chose to wear the Purple and Gold. We choose to support them regardless.

We would have been down by 3 points. Lee had thrown a pick his last 2 passes--the last one being absolutely awful. No way Lee comes in the very next drive and gets a FG (what JJ did). We would have punted. Bama would have had the ball with all the momemtum.

If you're referring to Lee's first pick, that didn't lead to points. Bama got their 2nd field goal after Lee's 2nd pick, but then our offense didn't move the ball at all and Claiborne provided the interception that led to the tying field goal in the 4th quarter

Because you seem to still discount that it would be a different game if Lee played all the snaps. Play calling, field position and basic strategy of each team would be different. There is no guarantee that all we would need to win was 6 points in regulation and 3 in over time if Lee ended up playing all the snaps.

JJ played 80 percent of the snaps. How do you know that if JL played the whole game we wouldn't have one? We lost in overtime when he was a freshman and our team was much weaker. You can't say 100% that if JJ didn't play we would have lost.

Honestly, I doubt it after Lee's second pick.

JJ didn't get us into field goal range after Lee's second pick either, for the record.

...is bama's defensive ranking a high leverage point in comparison to the set?

So what you're saying is that you want Lee to start against the weaker Defenses, but Jefferson should start against the really good ones?

future thread idea:

bcsncg: who starts vs alabama?



p.s. great post, thanks.

p.p.s. a peacekeeper is one who doesn't take either side, but maintains their own peace.
so, i'll take both jj and jl and trust lm.

And you believe it would be some offensive shootout... Yeah, unlikely. Your bias makes it difficult to reason with you. The benchmark is 6 points at the present time.
