    Honestly, it usually isn't the content of his posts...it's the nature and tone.

    And frankly, it's because he picks one thing, and beats it to DEATH...without noticing EVER that other things are improving.

    He only focuses on the negative without giving any credit to the positives. The positives outweigh the negatives right now. The offense is clearly going thru growing pains. Has anyone noticed we don't even run the Meerkat anymore? Clearly they're trying to change things up. It would just be nice to read ONE positive thing from guys like him every now and then. At least TC goes away when LSU is winning games by 3+ TDs.

    What is wrong with the statement is he has repeatedly stated that it can't be done. Now he wants to marginalize it to if it doesn't improve. He is full of sh!t. No different from the people who claim Miles can't develop talent, then state that one of his players should be up for the heisman.

    It's crawfishing. Either Miles sucks balls continually, as they insist, or they are wrong. They don't say, "well he has made mistakes here and there but overall...". No, the coaching just sucks. They leave no room for any doubt in the offseason. No one can contradict what they know to be true. Now things are going relatively well for our team in spite of some weaknesses, and though they don't want to admit it, it kills them.

    Because the Miles hate is rarely about love for LSU, but rather self-validation. Say whatever you want, but own it.

    The option play puts our qb at a much higher risk o injury. It is a fact that the coaches feel that we need to run it and will continue to do so. I understand that jj is our 1st string starter. Does anyone else think that we should be giving jl some meaningful snaps before we get to the meat of confrence play just incase jj gets hurt. We are running a risk putting jj in situations that make it more likely he gets hurt without letting jl get to have some playing time.

    Without a doubt.

    After RP leaving us with no one "ready" I would've thought Lester would've learned his hard-headed azz a LESson.

    I am not saying coach is right or wrong. But if jl can't run this team and get us wins and coach knows it, It would be foolish to put jj in undue risk. If jl can step in and do the job I would rather see him knock the rust off when we are up by 14 pts instead of when we are fighting for the win in the 4th qtr with fl or Alabama. I'm not ditching jj I just would love to see how our revievers would react to jl.

    But I wouldn't go bragging about that "improvement" to anyone.

    Assuming you are saying that JL would be coming in due to a JJ injury, yes I absolutely agree. JL got thrown to the wolves in a game we dominated for 3 quarters last year at Alabama. I am not saying JJ's injury or JL was the reason we lost, however, if JJ were to get hurt in a situation similar to the Alabama game last year, I would want JL much more prepared than he was last season.

    So all in all I agree, JL needs to see more PT for that reason and that reason alone. BUT IF JL comes out firing on all cylinders and im talking 12-14 185 yds & 2 td's making great reads & great touch on his passes, we would need to then evaluate the defense he played against, the plays we ran and put those up against the defense & play calling when JJ was in the game before we going screaming for JL to start.

    Being up by 14+ points especially when the other team has scored only 1 to no touchdowns because our defense is that solid, the play calling on offense is going to be much different, especially against a tired defense.

    I know you were not suggesting JL to start, I am just answering a question if one were to ask me.
