I expect to see Lee remain the starter and have no issue with it. He didn't handle the pressure well and it was obvious. He never should have been put back in after the first interception. That's not a knock on Lee, it was just clear as day he wasn't handling the blitz well and was prone to mistakes. Going forward Lee won't see anything remotely close to what he saw on Saturday and should play well as he did for the first 8 games of the season.
Sure ... go ahead. Just don't whine when a higher powered offense like Arky comes in and outscores us. Even if we do hold them to just 21 or 27 points like we did WVU and OR ... it'll probably be enough to win. I didn't think JJ was the better QB last year, and I didn't think JL was a ticking time bomb. AND .. IMO ... ya know, opinions ... like azzholes .. everyone's got one .... play calling played a major role in Lee performing poorly. Granted, he shouldn't have thrown the int, he should have just thrown it away, .... and punted. The second int did lead to 3 points .. but by the same token, McCarron's int lead to our 3 points that tied the game. It wasn't any magic of JJ that lead to a tie ball game, JJ went 3-out on that series. Our offense needs to learn how to run pass plays. Lee and JJ are capable of running the kinds of plays that could have losened up Bama ... but, we don't run those kind of plays. We either run it, or throw a long pass down field. Actually .. I"D LIKE TO SEE JJ play a more pro style offense .. for his good, as well as for the good of the team. He'll always have the option available, but dang, let's see him play QB for a change. As for CLM ... yeah ... think what you'd like ... but he didn't bench JJ last year when he was sucking .. he kept him the starter until he finally came to life in the Cotton Bowl ... after we got beat by Arky and were knocked out of the Sugar Bowl. And sure .. several here are thinking Lee is a time bomb, living in the past ... well, I can live in the past as well. Lee deserves the same chances JJ got. To not do so is showing bias ... aka .. bigot.
