Seriously. ANYBODY, EVERYBODY.........tell me what you are looking for.

I just want the guy to WIN. Thats all Ive EVER asked of ANY qb we've ever had. WIN!

But apparently, thats not enough for JJ. So Im asking, what does the guy have to do? Become Peyton Manning and become a fantasy football stud?

What? Im being serious about this.

play better. I know he's a work in progress, I just thought he'd be a little farther along in some respects.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

Today he made some good plays. We won despite one of the worst performances by an Offensive line I have ever seen.

I am pleased with his game. Needs to tweak some stuff... but a GREAT job today. 66% completion for nearly 10 yards per attempt. I will take it. Minimal mistakes and minimal bad decisions today.

sure he did

he also took 5 sacks that had everything to do with him holding the ball and nothing to do with poor blocking

He is a true sophomore in his 8th start. He is only called on to manage the game. Could we please pull up all the J. Lee apologists excuses for him throwing 16 picks and 7 pick sixes last year. I never heard so many reasons why it was justified for a qb to struggle.

B.S.!!!!!!!!

2 of those sacks were his fault. No doubt about it. But I rather him take the sack than throw an ill advised throw in a rush to avoid the sack.

The other 3.........aww hell naw. The O-line is a problem. You see what JJ can do when he has time. He flat out picks you apart.

The guy's learning. Meanwhile we're winning. The thing I like is that he doesn't seemed to fazed by the sacks, etc. Imagine what he's gonna be like with a full year under his belt.

He kept his composure and made the throws down the stretch to put us in a position to win the game.

Sounds credit worthy to me.

he got sacked 6 times

1 of them was on the OL


seriously, do you have DVR???

go back to each play and count the time he has. I did it every time. 3+ seconds is plenty enough time to deliever the ball, and as you say "flat out pick you apart".


The last drive when he was more decisive, did you see what happened?


you people are simply clueless if you think that was on the OL. I dont know what to say. i am really befuddled that people can sit there and watch the game and blame that on the OL.


simply put, you are a casual football fan and you dont know what you are watching.

bullshite. He made mistakes. No doubt, but he made some excellent plays as well. Not being able to run the option is coaching, as is the offensive play calling in the red zone.

Learn to put touch on the ball, learn to feel pressure in the pocket, and learn when to pitch on the option play. Other than that, h eplays pretty good.

I think it would take Jarrett Lee coming into a game and playing horribly. Until then, people are going to be calling for JJ's head.

It seems like a lot of fans fail to acknowledge that JJ is basically in the same position that Jarrett Lee was in last year. Yes, the offense does tend to stall a bit more at times with Jefferson in the game, but better to stall than make ill-advised throw into coverage.

Personally, I don't get where all the desire for Jarrett Lee to play comes from. We can speculate, but no one can say for sure that he'll be key to unlocking the potential of the offense. Last time he was given that chance, he did a horrible job at it. Jefferson, in the same situation, didn't go out and play spectacularly, but he also didn't go out and lose games on his own.

If Lee does for some reason play and play well, I'll be glad to cheer for him, but JJ has still made big plays. It may take a while for him to go out and consistently beat the defense, but I'll take his growing pains over Jarrett Lee's.
