high school here in MS and his opinion is that JL is getting screwed over

not saying prejudices aren't everywhere, but everyone i met from MS, Alabama, or Georgia (during my time traveling for work) said the same thing but they used a unkind word to describe the guy playing QB currently and then said they would never play a "unkind word"

not saying this is the case here, but that was the feeling i got from all the people i talked to.

i want JL to play, I really do. I think he is a great kid with a lot of heart. but the guy whose neck is ultimately on the line feels his best chance at survival is with the guy I don't particularly care for. I think they are both on about the same skill level. JJ has the "run option" and i think JL makes better decisions throwing the ball (i know get off my back, some mistakes on both parts). JL may throw an interception every now and again, but JJ does take some unwarranted sacks. But we all need to support whomever the coach picks.12-0 and all but one buy more than 10 points. I like it, LET'S KEEP IT UP GUYS, GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Would like to congratulate.........
the 2011 LSU Fighting Tigers on the best season in history. It’s been an unbelievable year so for and LSU has a dominant team!

okaaaay I'm there

Now to something that is bothering me.

I have always believed that Les Miles is a good man but I have always questioned his coaching. No doubt he is a winner and can recruit with the best of them but he has made some bone head decisions in the past.

oh here we go

Now with the way he has treated Jarrett Lee

---

stopped reading... enough with this, Miles can play who he wants, we don't know exactly what goes into coaching a major college team and exactly why he decides how he does, but if this year don't prove he is qualified to make these kinds of decisions, then nothing will.

Lee had his shot but he's not good enough to play any more than he's playing. His panicky play against Alabama was enough to seal his fate. Why is this so difficult for some of you to understand?

in that case ignore all of the comments from the peanut gallery in here, these assholes are ruthless.

They might be a peanut gallery.. and they might be assholes... But that does not make you any less wrong.

I just wonder what their comments would be if they were JL

? I bet you everyone of them would say oh yes I enjoyed helping the team to 8-0 and then being benched and allowed to come in and hand the ball off with a couple of minutes left and the game over.

now you are putting emotional bias on something that you shouldn't. this is football, not the real world. there is no place for empathy in sports. put the best in to when the game. if you own a company and have a guy that isn't as qualified (or doesn't do quite as good a job) as another, then it is up to you if you would rather keep them on, because you dont want to fire them, empathy is ok there. but look at this objectively. you are on the outside looking in. if you are on the team or associated with the AD, then by all means use empathy. but as an outsider, you shouldn't be putting yourself in someone's shoes, because you aren't privy to all the "insider" information and decision making.


just sit back and enjoy the ride the best you can. I would love to watch JL play, he is my favorite of the two QB's. matter a fact I like JL and dislike JJ, but I will support and pull for whomever the coach wants in there, and i suggest you try to do the same. if you can't just look at the big picture (12-0, outscoring opponents 458 - 127) then that is sad. there is nothing you can do about it, period, so just enjoy it.

Lee cannot play under pressure. If he has pressure on him he shits his pants. In the bama game lee threw the ball without looking and turned his back. JJ stays in their and takes the hit

& the losses, still does not know how to throw the ball away.

to be fair, this is also asinine. except the decision of who plays based on the what the coach says and be done with it, but when you try to make excuses you open yourself up for more excuses and differences of opinion.for instances, my opinion is i would rather a QB that is aware of what is supposed to be done and fully understand the plan, but can get panicky and quick to make a snap decision; over a QB that always looks confused and unsure about whether or not he knows the play be called, can't recognize why something didn't work and on top of that seemingly can't make an educated decision on his own. to be honest we need both QB's, JL's grasp of the plays and his duties makes up for his lack of athleticism (which the lack of athleticism makes him panicky), and JJ's athletic ability makes up for his lack of understanding of his duties as QB

I definitley agree with you, I just look at situations differently than most and make judgements based on emotions, I think that if that were my child being treated like that and so on

i understand that, i can't help it sometime, but i do it in the situation you are talking, but not regards to extra curricular activities. I got irrationally mad at the Penn. State situation thinking the same thing, "what if that was UrNoG , Jr." but in regards to playing time and football, "son be the best at what you do, if you are THE BEST, you will get what you deserve." if you didn't get what your goal was, try harder and do it again or find some places where the respect will be there. i'm sure JL weighed it and felt that he would rather (worst case) ride the pine at LSU rather than start at McNeese. you have to have guys that are ok being 2nd or 3rd string otherwise you would only have 22-26 guys on every team.
