Name ONE instance in Miles' tenure at LSU that he sat a returning senior starter for a newcomer in game 1.

Besides, it really doesn't matter who starts. The most popular man in the stadium will ALWAYS be the back-up QB. Book it!!!

As long as LSU rack up the W's it shouldn't matter but somehow it always does...

Even the ingrained JJ hater should admit that he was the better option at QB this past year.

He was horrible all season except for the second half of the Alabama game and the bowl game against Texas A&M. Statistically, Lee played better than Jefferson throughout most of the season.

I think that both Jefferson and Lee have proven how horrible they are at quarterback at different times. But, Lee outplayed Jefferson at the beginning and middle part of the season. Jefferson was not the better option. Miles showed that by constantly putting in Lee when he needed a game winning drive.

It is just baffling to me why he still felt the need to start Jefferson when Lee was clearly outplaying him through most of the season. Lee got royally screwed by Miles being scared of the pick 6 and being in love with a 6'6" pocket quarterback that he thinks is dual threat because he is black.

Sure, Jefferson played well in the 2nd half against Bama (a game that Lee sealed at the end, might I add). He also had a good game against Texas A&M. But, don't forget that Lee outplayed him throughout the season despite getting less than 1/4th of the snaps that Jefferson was getting.

JJ has been an inconsistent QB in his time as a starter at LSU. But, using his passing stats as a measure of his worth is only taking into account half of his abilities. He picks up a lot of yards and first downs running the football. JJ is at his best when he not "forced" into a passing situation. Whenever there is still a run/pass threat, he is at his best. Which is exactly why he is not as good in a 2 minute situation when LSU has to drive the length of the field to score i.e. the end of the FL and TN games this year. When LSU can run the football effectively and keep JJ out of third and longs, he is very effective. When they can't, he is not nearly as good. He is what he is.

Not necessarily. I think that Miles has sold his soul to JJ. The only way JJ doesn't start is if he is hurt. I wouldn't be surprised to see JJ and Lee continue to split time next year.

Yes, they've both been pretty bad. But, they also have a combined 6 years of experience on Mett in the SEC. Mett is going to have a hard time getting playing time next year, much less starting. And, it has no bearing on how good of a QB he'll be the next two years.

I see the Negatigers are struggling to come up with new material.

If Mett does not start next year, it will be hard to consider him the 2nd coming and savior.

He already has college playing experience and gotten better coaching than both JJ and JL.

---

I think people are kind of forgetting this a bit. Mett is not an incoming freshman like Zach Lee was this year. Dude will be a 21-year-old, 3rd-year QB, who played A LOT last year (even though it was JUCO). His situation is somewhat unique. Most JUCO Qbs were either less talented late bloomers or didn't have the grades to go D-I. Mett and Cam Newton's situations coming in are pretty unique.

You have the JJ warriors that think he can do no wrong

link?


These, like the "Miles can do no wrong" guys, are all mythical straw-man creatures that do not exist. They were created by the anti-Miles negatigers to "win" arguments that were not even being had, in some pathetic desperation to grasp any little piece of pat-themselves-on-the-back satisfaction that they could, as the joy of an 11-2 and top 10 ranked season passed tauntingly right by their eyes.

Either you are:

a) retarded

b) related to Lee

c) SEVERLY overrating how good Lee was when he played this year



Like the poster above, I think Lee is better passing in a 2-minue when you HAVE to go the length of the field and score, but the gap between Lee's and Jefferson's passing is not as big as the gap between Jefferson and Lee's running. Though no Vince Young, Jefferson's runs (and threats of running) helped us pick up 1st downs this year. Especially towards the end of the season.



Nobody was cussing Miles and screaming for Lee to start mid-season more than me, but I think Miles stuck with who he thought gave LSU the best chance to sustain drives, keep the football, score a few points, and eventually win the game. I actually have MORE respect for him for not just bowing down to the wrath of of Rant and actually sticking to his guns. He is privy to much more information than any of us are. When somebody comes on here and says how Lee was just dominating JJ in practice all year, then your point might have more merit. But they--and it--won't.

yall are all retards T.C. McCartney is gonna win the starting job I have inside info
