Jordan Jefferson is a great kid and i know this has got to be hard for him. He and lee were thrown into a qb situation at LSU they werent ready for. And because of what has happenned neither had the chance to develop properly. JJ is stuck being the one afraid to let loose because he saw how lee was treated when he threw the pick 6's and jarrett lee cant live down playing and being thrown into the fire too soon. So he is afraid of a pick 6 in which the tiger nation would crucify him. Somehow our qb's have to toughen mentally and throw caution to the wind and play the game to win. With confidence. Not sure that can happen. Ryan p. would have given them a chance to mature out of the spotlight and get their feet under them. LSU needs to place more importance in the constant recruitment of 2 qb's every single year. you cant afford to put your eggs in 1 basket from now on. Until we get a 1st rate qb again our talent will never live up to the expectations. And that is not JJ or Jarrett lee's fault. We have to support these 2 because they are doing the best they can and i for one will try to understand and hope for the best. I am hopefull though.
JJ plays with fear and doubt. It's written all over him and of course when he speaks he comes off meak and mild. I don't want my QB to be meak and mild. Sorry but that is his major problem that moves to his arm and his decision making progress in the game. What can I do not to mess up ! He needs to be the #2 guy and get the pressure off of him. He needs to be the back-up so he doesn't have to think about starting QB problem all the time.
Ouch, this is not good. Not only is he letting the fan chat get inside his head, it sounds like he's in there, too.
this statement just makes me feel even worse and more "pannicky" than I was prior to reading. Id much rather our an come out and say "I don't care how bad I've been playing. I know still that when I get out on that field that i'm capable of leading this offense." Still statement SCREAMS to me that he has absolutely no confidence in himself and that he is losing more and more every game and practice when he just isn't taking in the coaching that's being given to him. I understand its college fb and your still progressing, but how long will this progression take? Your still the same qb you were last year.
I am not hung up about the pronouns but at least he knows he hasn't played well. Miles still seems in denial. The WORST thing that could happen this weekend is for JJ to have a mediocre game. I want him to either be fantastic and make me feel stupid for giving up on him. Or I want it to be obvious even to Miles that he has to try something different. Not sure what this would take though. Miles can be a bit stubborn.
