What am i suppose to think when I hear get that n out the game by numerous people.
If race isn't an issue why wouldn't they just say "get that shitty QB out of the game"?

quote:honestly what business is it of yours? Why is the QB position special that JL and JJ can't rotate based on what it takes to win? Since we started rotating JJ and JL we are 21-2 so I'd say whatever miles is doing is working.
I just don't think JL has been treated fairly in the past two weeks compared to how JJ has been treated.
Treated unfairly

I guess with some fans it is about race but certainly not the majority. Most fans I recall were calling for booty to be benched in favor of Rohan. And I recall in 2008 people wanted Lee benched for JJ. It's just this yr the offense has looked better than with lee than the past two with JJ. lee played fine thru 8 games and gets benched whereas JJ never got benched last yr. That's what the deal is.

I do agree with you.. JL is much eaiser to root for than JJ.
For me its not about color, but for some I suppose its part of it.
If I had to list 10(1 being most imoprtant) reasons why JL is easier to root for...... bc he is white would be #10.
I agree and I believe you. I have apologized for suggesting race was a factor for you and will do so again.

But JJ did get benched. How else do you think Lee was able to play against Tennesse and Florida? I agree he probably should have been benched more often, but to suggest he never did is just not being honest.
But regardless, last year is last year. It's over--who cares. I think it's clear both Lee and Jefferson are significantly better THIS YEAR than they were last. So the rotation will be based off what's best for this team. Last year is irrelevant.

I just don't see the huge difference in the 2 that many suggest. I said all year JL played exceptional but my concern was how would he play against bama. He played how I thought he would. i don't think QB play has improved b/c of JL I think it's a direct result of how we can run against a stacked box.

I don't see a lot of difference in their passing either. JJ runs better obviously. The offense just seems smoother with jl though. Even last yr. Dunno why.
And I'll correct my statement.last yr JJ was benched. He just never lost his starting job and always took most snaps.

not letting JJ play would be unfair. lee has more than his fair share of pt. Do you honestly think Lee wont see the field again? Give me a break.

Get the f out of here. JL is like 2-7 and two picks last week and gets a standing ovation - JJ gets absolutely no applause nothing for last week. That's what pisses me off JJ is the one that is treated unfairly by the fans while they pretend Les Miles has some sort of vendetta against JL. I'm sure the people that believe this also believe we didn't land on the moon either. 10-0 JJ started and win the game last week. JL formerly nationally known as mr pick 6 turned his career around and we are (some of us at least) are enjoying greatness while remembering enduring the Lou Tepper years. Thanks to JJ, JL Les Miles, Every player on that team!

race will always play a part. Not by everyone, but by some. I was a student during the jamarcus and flynn era. Trust me, race plays a part.

I heard things in the stands during Davey's tenure that made me both embarrassed and furious

That said, it just seems to me that there are different standards applied. I was surprised at how little Lee actually played (after he was announced as the starter). Moreover, Les has consistently pulled Lee even when he is playing very well to insert Jefferson, and it doesn't seem that he's willing to pull Jefferson even when he is playing very poorly (as he did at times last night).
Totally agree with this statement. JJ did not lose his starting position when JL saved the bacon several times last year.

As good as he was I still heard horrible racial slurs when he messed up the few times he did.
Ps
I didn't pull the retard card out of respect for you and your ineptitude

Why can't "most people" trust the coaches of the #1 ranked team to do what they think is best for the team?
Come on they're coaches on their NCAA football video game so they think they know how to run the offense.
