so if the time comes where jj gets hurt or is just having a terrible night, he won't be as nervous to be in. Waiting until a critical situation to let lee play is bad coaching IMO
Agreed

which is why JL should have gotten the whole 4th.

JL has been practicing and has had a season as the starter so no excuses if he gets another chance.When JL was the QB the LSU fans wanted JJ. Now that they have JJ they WANT(disease from Miles)JL. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Maybe not the whole quarter, but I would have liked to see him at least for the last two series and actually throw the ball.
Not going to happen though.

or is Miles trying to avoid controversy, being afraid that JL might look better than JJ in the brief time that hes playing.
My guess. Les Miles wants no part of a personnel controversy.

Yes, it would have been a good idea to let J Lee have two or three series in the 4th quarter. I don't think JJ has been that outstanding to warrant relegating J Lee to mop-up duty, and should JJ go down, J Lee needs to have more playing time under his belt. As much as JJ has been running with the ball, his chances of injury appear more likely.

We did that last year. It didn't work then- and it won't work now.
But to hell with logic, right?

Lee had plenty of passes in the warm-ups...AND: was throwing with more accuracy and velocity than Jefferson. For those of you not able to make the games that is how it played out.
Jefferson hit on 1/3 passes thrown 20 yards or more in warm-ups. One on the money, one making the receiver break stride and adjust to the ball, and one in the turf. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Lee has more zip on the ball and is more accurate. Anyone watching the warm-ups can confirm. Something is going on that the casual observer cannot discern, because Lee is the obviously better "Passer" at this point, but JJ is entrenched staunchly as the starter.
Lee is one snap away from being the starter, JJ runs up the middle and gets popped too many times during the game...Keeping Lee on the bench in the Fourth Quarter was arrogant and negligent in my opinion. 29-7 with 11 minutes to go??? Seriously??? Put Lee in, LSU is going to need him to win down the road.

At that point, our fan base is less likely to boo the kid if he throws an interception.
Until then, I don't think Miles trusts the LSU fans to fully support the kid.

Tell me...how many back up QBs you seen throwing 3-5 passes at the end of the game?
Like it or not, but JJ is the main guy and he's gonna see the main action cause he needs to play.
If JL was the main guy, he would see the main action cause he would need to play.
Seems like a pretty normal college approach to me, but each to our own.

I wish they would have let him. No reason not to unless they were scared he would mess up or they were hard headed to just run.

This sounds familiar. Oh wait! Last year Bama game...

we are not mind readers.
relax and enjoy the ride.
Jesus. I would fricking let him start a drive with 1's at all the other positions. Of course it would help him.
Let me give you my heart felt attempt at understanding ONE POINT OF VIEW: if you let JL play too much and he shines, you have created a QB controversy. It would mess with JJ's head for sure. Why risk that, just so you can feel more comfortable that JL will be ready if need be.

If we had a great starting QB I agree with you. We don't so I don't agree with you. The backup needs reps bad. Not handoff reps but throwing reps since the starting QB is trying hard to keep the passing game bottom 10% in the nation.

i'm sure running the starting QB 13 times game is the smartest thing LSU can do.
you are sooo right!

On the other hand, you create competition and hope they feed off each other to get better. If you allow a struggling Jefferson to continue to start, there's a chance that he will become complacent while at the same time discouraging Lee. Thus, both players suffer.

Most mop up QBs have a good pro style qb in front of them (who arnt constantly getting hit on the scramble)
