re: Stop the Jarrett Lee hate everyone - he was a Freshman!

Imo , its not the fact that he made lots of mistakes, its how costly those mistakes were, they changed the offense and defensive game plans, hurt team confidence and morale, maybe more importantly is the fact that given many chances, he still stared recievers down, he couldnt seem to adjust At All!

Were you talking to me? I know nobody truly hates Lee.

I'm pretty sure the originator of this thread does...

or at least he hates the people that refuse to hate JL....

We're screwed if JJ goes down with an injury.

And please don't say Shepard. We saw in the spring game he isn't ready to be a passer in this league.

The problems JL had last year are typical of a first year starter. LM made mention 2-3 diff times the other night about the youth and inexperience at the qb position.

The pick six deal is fuking OLD. NOt only is it old but it was a fluke.
JL's iterception count was the alarming thing to me, not the pick 6.
ID be willing to bet everything I have that if JL started 8 games in 09 and threw as many or more ints that that pick 6 number would be less.

There's no middle ground with many of you people concerning these qbs.

"its so clear" that JJ is a better.
I laugh when I read that.
Some of you shouldnt be so quick to prasie or persecute first year player qbs.
Couple of bad plays or gmaes and JJ will be in the same boat as JL... then itll be RS turn to be put up on chopping block.
Wait a sec didnt RS have couple TO's in spring game????
Never ending, the grass is always fuking greener on the other side.

I think a Tiger fan needs to step up and make a hitler video about Jarret Lee

we can thank miles for the idiot move of kicking off RP making for a long two years...

False. Some of Lee's passes were the worst I have ever seen at the D-1 level. It wasn't lazy tackling or players giving up that led to the Auburn touchdown. Ronnie Lott, Brian Urlacher, and Julius Peppers couldn't have stopped that pick 6.

While there were a couple of interceptions that weren't gift-wrapped touchdowns for the opposition, there were just as many that were truly awful throws.

JJ's confidence would have been shattered to the extent that we would not have had him with the same QB mentality he showed later in the season.

Very lame excuse, imo. If he can't handle it, he doesn't deserve a scholarship.

matt stafford didnt throw 36 pts to the other team however. matt stafford also beat some decent teams that year with auburn, ga tech and va tech.

there's no comparison between lee and stafford.

Jordan Jefferson will start in the fall and lee will become the Craig Nall of the 90's.

I doubt it will ever stop. 100 years from now, when Jarret Lee and the rest of us are worm food, there will be "Jarret Lee Sucked" legacy threads on this board beating the decaying bones of JL for the interceptions he threw last year. I'm glad I won't be around to read them.

Ditto...but one never knows, there is always a shot at redemption....just ask Jamie Howard!! If Jamie didn't have the "Magic is Back" game the following year, we'd be talking even more about the interception game in '94...as it is, it's only brought up a couple of times a year now, because the kid had a chance at redemption..unfortunately for JL, with the QB situation now, he may not ever get that chance at redemption....I feel bad for the kid.
