re: would Miles let JL transfer to a SEC school?

If yall see how HOTT Lee's girlfriend is, yall would see that he has more than just football to stick around for. I personally hope Lee stays, he is one injury away from earning his spot back and having the most dangerous receiving core in the nation around him. After how bad our fanbase treated him last year, it shows the character he has to stick around instead of running away. I wish nothing but the best for this kid. Because of the hardships that he has been through I would say that he has more heart (at least as much) as anyone on this LSU team. We have two quartebacks on our team right now that I think we can win a championship with. The one that I think could win a Heisman is on the bench.

Seriously, every time I read something in the Rant and think "well, it can't get any dumber than that," I read something like this.

He earned his spot on the bench. Heisman? Are you kidding me?

At least we are not blinded with man love for a Mediocre JJ.

jtraylor, using your logic you would also have to compare JJ's stats to the stats you posted of those other young QBs.

I don't have his numbers in front of me but I would imagine he will fair pretty well in comparison. If we are going to take into account that JL was a young, first year starter last year then you have to give the same liberty to JJ. JJ did start a couple last year but this is essentially his first year as the starter. It is tough to compare apples to apples here but you can get close. In 08 JL had a spring under his belt. In 09 JJ has had a spring as well. If you are looking at it from a numbers stand point I would guess they favor JJ.

I just want the best one starting. Right now that appears to be JJ. As for getting JL some snaps for experience sake, didn't he start a bunch of games last year? He has plenty of experience.

This is ignorant at best. Having a backup QB, who is one injury away from your full time starting QB, as cold as ice will very little prep time is stupid.

---

Then why do Peyton Manning and Drew Brees stay in games well into the 4th quarter with their team clearly winning? Aren't their backups also 1 play away from being full-time starters. shite, do any NFL starters EVER come out of a game unless they're up by 30 in the last 2 minutes? And I'm quite sure they don't need the reps as much as our 19-year-old true SO does. Your backup gets reps in practice and blowouts--that's it.

quote:

---

Some of you people just have an agenda, whether it be pro JJ, anti Lee or whatever. Just admit it.

---

Some do, sure, but I don't. If Lee had won the starting job, I'd have been fine with that and would be on here saying he needs the reps. Pick a starter and stand by it.

quote:

---

I agree with this...He hasnt earned it enough for it just to be handed to him like it has been...

---

Just to be clear, are you saying that Lee has been outplaying Jefferson in practice, but Miles has just "given" him the starting gig despite that? If so, I'd ask you 2 things: 1) how are you privy to such information? 2) What could possibly be the Miles' motivation?

NFL backups have played thru college, pre season games and many have extensive game experience. Not quite the same. One or two series a game doesn't kill any momentum, particularly LSU who hasn't had any offensive momentum save for one game this year.

---

probably the same motivation that has him keeping the best running back on the bench...

Matt Cassel

Cassel is the exception to the rule. Also played in preseason games as well.

Always a few exceptions to the rule. Its take your poison. Gamble 100% on one guy or prepare the other as well.

quote:

This is 2009, not 2008

---

Exactly. What has Lee done THIS YEAR to lead you to believe he's better than Jefferson? I just can't imagine what this could be.

quote:

---

LEE never had a shot after that

---

He was not allowed to practice?

quote:

---

he has deserved one this year...

---

again, based on what?

quote:

---

and your dumbass is probably gonna talk about pick 6's again

---

Again? I never talked about the pick 6s to begin with. I've always know they were a statistical anomoly. They never bothered me. What bothered me was the high number of interceptions he threw, not what the other team did with them.

quote:

---

JL has the experience

---

I think at this point, JJ has more experience than Lee. And it's more recently relevant.

quote:

---

the game moves slower for him

---

You've determined this based on his handing off to Stevan Ridley against Tulane?

quote:

---

...Everyone can see it when he plays

---

I don't see it. You know why? Because it only exists in your a-hole, where you've obviously pulled it out from.

quote:

---

the kid has a swagger about him now that everyone can see..

---

what?




Look, I'm a fan of Lee--defended him quite a bit this summer from some of the assholes on here(mainly TheDoc). If he had beaten out JJ in the spring or fall, cool. But he didn't. I can only assume it's because our coaches feel Jefferson gives us a better chance of winning football games. And Lee hasn't done anything in his handful of passes this year to convince me--or any other reasonable person--that they are wrong. Lee may very well be a better QB than Jefferson. But as of now, there is absolutely ZERO evidence that this is the case.
