Just a feeling.......he would be better out in space than under center.

JJ is a rahim alem kick ball episode away from being 2-0 as a starter while averaging 34 ppg. While i understand the skepticism, he is our guy and i think he can be as good as matt mauck with his running ability and decision making.

I do not think Jefferson has enough previous SEC playing time for anyone to render an emphatic answer to Jefferson's productivity this coming season.
That being said, I think Jefferson has shown in high school and in his brief college experience that he has all the necessary ingredients to become a great QB. He has leadership, good passing ability, great mobility, and that sixth sense to make the big play when needed. That gives me great optimism.
Limited playing time and the toughness of the SEC leaves me cautious of how productive Jefferson will be at the beginning of the season. I look for him to have a game or two early on that he struggles and then the last part of the season to be a stud.
All of this is simply speculation at this time and no one really knows what JJ will do this season. A key to Jefferson's success is that if he truly does struggle in a game or two the fans do not react negatively toward him but give him support. He may have some 'pick six' throws and if the fans react negatively and boo, gripe and complain he could loose confidence and could develop a confidence problem.
I am cautiously optimistic and will give JJ my full support. If he has a game or two that he struggles, I will still give him my full suppport. He is the best option we have a QB. Please do not get me wrong, I like JLee and think he is a class act. JLee may be called upon to play a big role in some games. He will still be one injury away from being a starting QB.

Why was GT overrated? Oh that right, because LSU crushed them.

Really. . .
That's all.
They were world beaters up until kick off.

What has Jefferson shown you in his minimal experience to make you believe that he is ready to break out this season?

The one that beat UGA? oh yeah..
Optimism comes from his play on the field, watch some games. This time last year we had no point of ref. and I, along with other fans, think there's reason to be optimistic. suck balls unless you got something that says we shouldn't.

I'm not sure it's what he's done, it's more what he hasn't done (ie pick 6)

LOL. We've had a bunch of unsuccessful QBs over the years who haven't thrown a ton of pick six's. It'll take more than that dude. BTW, I think JJ can do more than just not mess up.

yes but one of a qb's main jobs is to not lose the game......hard to do that playing catch with the defense.

Kenny, this type of rational analysis is simply not allowed on the Rant.

Do not overlook Ark that has beat us the last two years.

they were overrated because their offense was exposed by a team that had time to prepare. That offense works well during the season because teams never practice for it, it's a once a season challenge for most teams.

Miami, Ohio St, ND, were all overated after we crushed them.

So JJ will be successful because he doesn't throw pick 6's? That's what we're hanging our hat on this season for success? Well, he didn't throw any against Ark. and we lost anyway. Gonna take more than that boys.

ForeLSU, I apologize for my indescretion of using logic. I promise I will become more irrational until I can finally blend in unnoticed in this accumulatation of rantards. I pledge dedicating myself to this lofty goal.

quote:That is absolutely not certain. If we go 10-2 or better this year, then your position would absolutely have been a pessimistic one. Until the reality is established, we have no basis for assessing which predictions are pessimistic and which are optimistic in absolute reality.
does not make me pessimistic........just being a little more....realistic
What we have now are the relative aspects of the predictions made. Those that suggest a better outcome than most are optimistic, and those suggesting worse outcome than most are pessimistic. If you think the reality will most likely be worse than most predictions, then your prediction is most certainly pessimistic.
And btw, why do you describe your prediction as "more realistic"? Are you trying to pretend that you're not calling the optimists wrong?

if jefferson is leading the offense to an average of 34 points a game, that should be enough to win.
if it's not enough to win, then our problem isn't at QB.
