Are you implying that with 5 additional weeks of practice to come that a) there's a Jefferson will look like that again? and b) Lee wouldn't be ready if needed? Lee is a senior, it's not like he NEEDS game reps. He's been through the fire, he'll be ready if needed. You act as if he's going to forget how to play between now and January.
No, read what I said. 5 of 13 for 30 yards passing is horrible for a quarterback. It will get you benched on most teams.
Lol. That's hilarious. And southerntgr, no football player worth the pads he wears would EVER tell his coach that. That's a huge component that you may not understand. It's about the team. We should get back to celebrating. We are all witness to the best group of tigers that we have ever had the privelidge to watch
You are absolutely right red. It's the coaches job to make sure that there is a contingency plan. Jefferson has to be mentally tough enough to understand that when u play a half like that, then u take a seat. It's not all about JJ or JL individually. They play a role. An important role but a role nonetheless. It goes both ways. There would have been no crime in Lee coming in. God everybody...when JJ is bad, he is really bad. We should be referring to them as the starter and the back up in this kind of discussion. People tend to take it personally when the JJ vs JL talk starts. I'm for whichever guy gets our team into the endzone.
If it is all JUST winning then let's cheat, let's have no moral ethical standards and just do WHATEVER it takes to win... Sorry, that is not the way the game was meant to be played. I don't know the whole story and would love to know what has happened to JLee. Miles has not gained a reputation as a player's coach to so openly penalize a individual player since he has been here at LSU. As for Jefferson, he will go down as the WORST QB to have won a national championship. He can't CONSISTENTLY throw accurately nor read defenses and make adjustments at the line. And for those of you who really think he will be drafted in the NFL... you are smoking the same synthetics that Ware smoked. He is not the BEST QB on this current team. He is the most experienced senior athlete that can play at the QB position who Miles LET'S play and still win games. (Thanks defense and Mathieu) That is all...
Who said it's all about winning? Eventhough alot of it is whether u want to believe it. My point is that it shouldn't be political. Are there people here that think JJ will play in the NFL?
Not you particularly.. there are tons of people on this board sayin nothing matters except winning... I am just disagreeing with that mentality.
Lee played a half like that against Bama and we won. It's not all on JJ. Piss poor field position, no blocking for him, etc
