re: The difference between JL and JJ.

Lee=pocket passer
JJ=option QB

But it wasn't a single receiver route, was it? If not, JJ never even looked to his secondary read.

It was...I have watched the play about 15 times. I was trying to show my brother why he threw the ball away. As soon as he saw the double coverage he threw the ball away.

It was max protect and a one man route.

Also, on the play you are referring to, I believe it was a one route play and they may have had Randle slightly double covered. Maybe that was the best thing for JJ to do was throw it away instead of trying to stick it in there. Again, that may be a different play im referring to.

What I was really curious about was.. we were on the 5 yard line.. there was almost zero pressure on him, and his primary WR was covered.

I thought he was a dual-threat.. why didn't he try to run it in?

Early in the third quarter, LSU's second possession, JJ came in the game and drove LSU down the field inside the 5 yard line. Faced with a 3rd and goal, a fade to RR was called to the left side of the end zone as there was single coverage.

Actually am glad that someone else was thinking the same thing. The only thing I wonder about is him throwing the ball away versus was that an attempt to throw a fade? If so, it was pretty bad and shows that he can't throw that pass. I would actually feel better about his abilities if he did throw it away. J Lee made that pass perfectly twice in a row last year against Florida with Toliver. He threw it the first time and Toliver got mugged by the DB but it wasn't called. He lined back up, threw it perfectly again for the game winning touchdown!

No doubt JJ has skills that J Lee doesn't possess but I just don't think he adds a real passing threat inside the red zone. Yes, I know he made the jump pass but if the game is on the line, I'd feel a lot more comfortable with J Lee in there.

My best guess...the coaches told him, "if he is not open....just throw it away."

Another guess on the play call would be Florida would be caught off guard with a pass play. The showed a formation that they run from a lot and they took a shot.

It was a smart play by JJ. Both QB's played well.

The pass on 2nd and 19 to Peterson was a great throw by JJ as well.

I look at it this way...JJ vs JL reminds me of MMA fans vs Boxing Fans. It doesn't have to be one vs. the other. You can be a fan of boxing and MMA. Two different sports and two different QB's. As long as they both throw over 70% completion and 15 yards per attempt...I am fans of both

JJ typically waits until the WR is wide open before he throws, except on deep balls which he throws well, where as J. Lee can and will throw the receiver open.

---

While true, JJ brings a run dimension to the game that JL just does not and will not ever have. This is what Les Miles sees. For people to pretend it is not there is just ignoring the facts. JJ has run us out of MANY 3rd and longs with his legs and kept the drive alive. He has also held the ball too long and took sacks. JL has made MANY good passes with timing and touch, but he has also made many bad throws as well. Neither QB is a complete package.

jl is being coached by SK, jj is still being coached by GC.

duh.

maybe they were booing the play call?

Hopefully, but more than likely they were booing something they don't understand (or don't want to).

OR, they are just idiots that are looking for a reason to get on JJ.
