im mean im a pretty big Lee hater but why would i want our offense to be able to run 3-4 plays.

---

your reading comprehension sucks.

I didn't say just run 3-4 plays all the time.

I said let JJ run 3-4 plays to spell Lee.

Agreed.

There have been plenty of times that the pass thrown has not matched the route run.

why is it that our True Frosh is totally clueless on the playbook but Pryor is f'ing starting and seems to be doing fine with his knowledge of their playbook? Maybe its a coaching problem.

We should have signed Pryor.

Seriously, Pryor was being groomed from day 1 on campus. JJ was expected to RS, and we NEEDED to groom the ONLY QBs we had after RP was gone. Yes, it is like putting all your eggs in one basket, or two in this case. But the coaches evaluated that the two QBs that we had could be used in tandem based on the skills of each. The coaches needed to make this decision a long time ago. Who knows how much the pressure of trying to lead the defending NC is on Lee when he knows that Hatch is down. Throw in the booing after he heard all the cheers for last year's team. Lee is facing some of the best D's in the country. Let's keep it all in perspective. He is the best we have, based on the coaches evaluation. JJ has been on the RS shelf. That's why he has not learned enough to be put into such pressure situations, not because he is dumb, or black. The EXPERIENCED QBs on the roster are also in a learning curve, but are ahead of JJ. We are what we thought we were, a team with talent, but lacking depth and experience at key positions.

Remember, Fla lost 4 games with inexperienced players, in spite of a Heisman winner at THE key position.

If I see the RACE Card played again I'll vomit. If this is what some believe, start posting to pull Shep's offer.

That's kind of my point..it's 12 weeks into the season, i don't see how it's that difficult for JJ to have 6-8 plays he's comfortable with, and we can use him 2-3 series a game..it could benefit Lee tremendously to sit out, watch the defense from the sideline, and maybe slow the game down for him

---

Bingo! I can't understand why he doesn't have a handful of plays for a change of pace package. If this kid was so heralded out of high school not only as a runner, then can't he execute a pass when Crowton eliminates the checks on one side of the field? I mean that is one of the things that the spread is famous for, reducing the number of decisions a QB needs to make.

IMHO, he either isn't putting enough effort into his preparations, or he is just batshit stupid... but then again none of us are sitting in on practice and meetings, so what do we know....

I'm guessing we have a i.q./literacy problem... good athlete but not much else.

Is a JL throwing picks better than a JJ not knowing at all what's going on?

Good question. I think JJ at least should have been given a few snaps in a Hatch/Perrilloux role. The coaches were more willing to put in Richard Murphy.

Edited to agree with Simmons 2112 on the play calling.

it was 3rd and 7, WHY PASS THE BALL? run it and if you dont get the first down then kick a fricking field goal!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



your kicker has already missed once from there. It's basically 3rd and long while we KNOW Alabama is playing 8 in the box. You either show confidence in Lee that he can make a throw, which he has done at points in the game, or don't show any confidence in your QB at all and just waste a down. You don't go into a play KNOWING your QB is going to throw an INT.

The only thing I disagree with is the play itslef. Alabama knows that he has been rolling to his right all game. Go left! Just to see what happens. That's just me.

The question that I have isn't about 3rd down in OT, but 2nd. You ran Scott, with 8 in the box. and he gained 5 on 1st down. Then they get cute with a damn trick play and lose 4 yards. RUN THE frickING BALL, with Scott, up the middle! They were not able to consistently stop Scott up the middle all game. They're thin on defense, and you're in OT, so you know they're tired. You punch them in the mouth and, even if they stop Scott from getting the first down, you're looking at 3rd and 5 or less.

His inability to read a defense was masked by his incredible skills, something that is now biting him in the arse in the NFL.
