    Things we do know:

    -LSU is 6-0 after playing one of the toughest schedules of any team in the nation
    -The offense is improving
    -We pulled off a gutty win, with the help of BOTH QB's, in a Top 5 Most Hostile venue in the country

    Things we don't know:

    -How Jarrett Lee would fare taking 100% of the snaps
    -What the outcome of our season will be
    -And we sure as hell don't know our players as well as the coaching staff does, or what is said and done behind closed doors

    Just shut up already. I can't understand how people have so much free time to dog our coaches and players. Shift your perspectives people, live is much easier when you look down the positive end of the pipe.

    No, but we do know how JJ fares taking 100% of the snaps, and he is dreadful.

    I'm waiting patiently for someone to give me a good, rational reason, based on actual performance and observations (not anecdotal evidence), why JJ should be getting as much PT as he is.

    No one is making you read the thread, ace. If it bothers you that much, exercise a little self-control and don't click on it. It's funny that you criticize what we care about, but you clearly care about the fact that we care about it. Not sure what that says about you, but it can't be good.

    I wonder if the players sound like this behind closed doors?

    "“Oh, Jordan got me on that one,” Ridley said with a smile. “He stole that one from me. He faked me out. I think he faked himself out." Ridley.

    Just put me on your ignore list, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings to the point where you need to personally retaliate.

    If we go undefeated and win it all, BARELY scraping by games, will you be able to say you were pleased with the result? If your answer is yes, take a step back and look where we are now.

    If you look at the stat lines for the Florida game, they would support what you are saying:

    LSU offense with Jefferson at QB:
    7 plays, 40 yards, Field Goal
    8 plays, 39 yards, Interception (cost us 7 points)
    3 plays, 9 yards, Punt
    4 plays, 21 yards, Field Goal
    7 plays, 25 yards, Punt
    6 plays, 33 yards, Punt

    6 drives, 35 plays, 167 yards, 2 FGs, Interception cost us 7

    LSU offense with Lee at QB:
    13 plays, 77 yards, Touchdown
    2 plays, 39 yards, Touchdown
    8 plays, 38 yards, Touchdown
    3 plays, 8 yards, Punt
    10 plays, 62 yads, Touchdown

    5 drives, 36 plays, 224 yards, 4 TDs

    No reason, I just never have an excuse to talk with the esteemed SabanFan. . .

    I think a few of us feel weird that the guy the coaches have relied on the last two games to win it, isn't even getting the majority of the snaps.

    I'm not worried about the McNeese game, but the most important thing right now is getting plenty of snaps to JLee (and have him pass it). Out of 6 games we've already relied on him twice, we're going to need him even more soon.

    Most of us are worried that with Miles continuing to give JJ the start that he's going to continue to split the snaps between them when it's clear we're going to need JLee MORE later.

    Miles thinks he needs both. If he starts Lee outright, I think he probably feels JJ is going to take that bad, so he is trying to keep both of them in the game mentally.

    I really do think everyone, including Miles, knows Lee is the better option right now. But what if Lee goes down, he has to keep JJ from crumbling some how. Remember we have 0 options after those two besides a whole bunch of wild tiger.

    We will need both QBs, period. I know it sucks, because there is a great respect growing for Lee over these past two games. But I really think Miles is handling it great, after thinking about it for a while.
