re: What is your optimal JL/JJ split?

100/0. I don't see what JJ brings to the table.

I'm basing my opinion on how JL looks right now, compared to the "deer in the headlights" look we're all too familiar with from the last two years.

you're right. He looks totally different THIS YEAR. Like a guy that can take us to great places THIS YEAR.

The evidence is in the results. The two QB system is benefiting both QB's. The rationale of questioning the staff's competence has reached it's sell-by date.

---

You are partially right. The evidence does show that both qb's benefit. JJ got in the endzone TWICE against UF because JL drove the team the length of the field. JL started and ran 5 drives. 4 of which end in touchdowns.

So tell me again how JJ is awesome?

no one can say anything bad about JJ in these threads or the admins will get you!

100% JJ snaps!!!!! WHO CARES IF WE LOSE!!! WE DONT WANT TO HURT HIS FEELINGS!!!

75-80% in favor of Lee.

Jefferson needs to play enough to make our opponents have to spend to time to work on defending it. And, he should start, because so far Lee has played very well after watching the first series.

---

Agreed. Lee seems to benefit from sitting every so often just to slow the game down for him and let him not let his emotions get to him. I also like forcing defenses to prepare for two totally different offenses. But also Lee is the superior player right now and should be taking a large majority of snaps.

What we have going now is working. No reason to change.

So, if I win a game with my walk ons... barely, and with a lot of luck then I should say hell with putting the starters in for any game this season?

Or are you assuming that I should continue to play my walk ons, until they make mistakes that might lead to another team in the SEC have a two score lead on me. Then I put the starters in? Then by miracle the starters come back and win the game, then i should give credit to the combination of walk ons and starters, not just the starters that came back and won the game for me?

No metaphors here at all I swear.

I have no problem with him getting the start. But we do have two years worth of data before this season on Lee, and he has been a player who has ridden the motional roller coaster. He has played his best football when rotating in, first for Hatch now for Jefferson. Maybe he can take 100% of the snaps, but he does seem to benefit just taking the occassional breather.

Besides, there is a benefit to running essentially two offenses, making defenses prepare for that. So I don't know if giving Lee 100% of the snaps is worth the risk of sacrificing the known benefits. Jefferson played his best game as well last week. I still think Lee should have the majority of the snaps, by a large margin, but I do see a benefit to the zone read offense under Jefferson.

quote:

---

How do you know Lee can't be as effective starting? He hasn't had that opportunity.

---

You really don't.

What we do know is that he has been incredibly effective coming off the bench and that Jefferson's play has improved with Lee playing more snaps.

Why change something that's working?

quote:

---

Jefferson's play has improved with Lee playing more snaps.

---

You are basing his improvement on 1 game, where he pretty much threw a pick 6

quote:

---

Of course not, but you also believe that Jefferson is a terrible player who adds no value. So obviously you wouldn't advocate Jefferson getting a series

---

I never said this

quote:

---

Only if you look at half of his play.

His total play looks like this:

vs. Tennessee - 130 total yards 1 TD/2 Int

vs. Florida - 142 total yards 2 TD/1 Int

So in two games, playing 50% of the snaps, he had 272 total yards 3 TDs/3 Ints.

Obviously, you want that Int number to go drastically.
