re: Zero blame to JJ for clock management.

While I put most of the blame on Miles, the offense is not under control when JJ is in the game.

You will never get Just Me to concede that JJ is a horrible QB, so you may as well move on.

JJ is not a horrible QB. He is having a horrible year.

Perhaps not for you, but I'd rather JJ clock it than have him throw a quick pass into the end zone when we have another chance to pick up two yards on fourth down. (chance of a completion in the end zone long shot, an interception or pass for less than two yards in bounds high. He wasn't put in for his passing skills.

Jefferson was having a horrible throwing game; however, Jefferson finished second in the nation in red-zone passing efficiency last year.

so what does last year have to do with this year?

his red-zone passing efficiency last year is irrelevant to his play this year.

---

No. It's not irrelevant. Jefferson has had some horrible games this year. It doesn't make him a horrible QB. It doesn't mean his red-zone performance will be horrible. It doesn't mean he cannot throw a game winning pass from inside the 5-yard line.

Poor JJ, saw him today; looks like he lost 92,600 of his best friends.

92,600 of his best friends? Uh...I don't think so. Unless best friends typically $hit all over you at any given moment.

Well, if you ran it once every practice it would take what....2 minutes?

20 minutes with TV timeouts :)

God damn you're a dense motherfricker.

Sit down, STFU and pay attention.

I would make an argument that if our players, who have been playing football most of their lives since they were 10ish, need instruction on what to do when you are 1 yard from the endzone with approximately 20 seconds left in the game then they shouldn't be out there.

---

I hate to burst your bubble, but neither of our QBs call their own plays. Both are on a short leash and both look to the coaches for the next play. Peyton Manning is not on our roster.

And no QB is about to tell his coach to send back the subs the coach is in the process of sending onto the field. Yes, the coaches are world class fricking idiots for thinking they had enough time to send that many subs on the field. They are also world class idiots for not sending JJ onto the field with two plays MINIMUM (1st the run, then a quick pass) when they sent him in on 2nd & Goal. And the coaches are probably also idiots for switching QBs on 2nd & Goal (though that could have been mitigated had they sent in JJ with instructions for 2 back to back plays).

quote:

Also are you assuming that JJ knew that they had 13 players on the field when he dove on the ball?

---

No, dickhead. Pay attention. It doesn't matter if JJ dove on the ball or not. All that matters is T-Bob snapped the ball before the clock expired and Tennessee had 13 men on the field. The odds were very, very remote that JJ or anyone else would gain 1 yard against 13 defenders. Even Ridley -- Believe It or Not! -- would have struggled to score against 13 defenders.

Try to focus on the real fricking problem. Our coaches completely failed us from 2nd & Goal onwards. Trying to assign blame to JJ is stupid and futile and distracts away from where all of our venom should be focused.

The coaches made three EXTREMELY questionable decisions:

1) They put in JJ on 2nd & Goal
2) They asked JJ to run on 2nd & Goal, but didn't give him another play to run (preferably a pass play) immediately after the conclusion of 2nd & Goal.
3) They sent in mass subs and wasted 80% of the time left on the clock.

And as a bonus, I also blame them for wasting all of our timeouts long before we got to 1st & Goal.

The coaches deserve a F- minus for the last 36 seconds of that game. And the more you try to shift the focus to JJ, the more you distract all the completely inexcusable decisions by the coaches, the grown men who are supposed to be leading by example with their sage, wise decision making. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.

I agree with Ten Tex!

I forgot to add on this.....if they don't have the fricking balls to try with :00 showing on the clock then get them the hell out of Tiger Stadium and don't ever let them back in no matter who they are.

Oh my God. You're so right. We should kick JJ off the team for this infraction of the sacred trust. After all, we've got so many other great QBs on the team we don't need JJ. He doesn't pass the LSU316 "balls" test so he is now forever banished from Tiger Stadium.

You are a perfect example of a knee jerk ranter.

And the funny thing is, most knee jerk rantards are more than happy to go all in whenever anyone is dissing the coaches. But oh no.. when I diss the coaches for their most recent collosal mistake I MUST also rip JJ a new one or else I'm not living up to your high knee jerk standards.
