    *Yawn* If you're going to try and call me out, you should work on your reading comprehension. Otherwise, you're just continuing to make a fool out of yourself.

    And again, some boneheaded GM will put shuttle times and vertical leap ahead of actual game experience and blow a draft pick.

    Sean Payton made Quincy Carter look like a decent starting QB in the NFL and he was a huge reach when the Cowboys took him. Jerry Jones was out of his mind. Still, with the proper coaching and discipline a pro coach can do wonders with guys who have ability.. still, they must also have a lot of desire.

    Let them draft JJ. Might as well add another tick mark to the number of players LSU had drafted this year.

    I won't deny the curiosity though - exactly numbers will JJ put up on the Wonderlic?

    My reading comprehension skills are just fine. No worries there. I find it hilarious that when others rag on JJ you and Winston say nothing but when I do the double standards comes into play.

    The only news I want to hear about Jefferson is that he WILL NOT be playing for LSU next year. Good luck JJ...I know YOU probably thought you looked great for sure.

    Best of luck to ya.

    JJ has that slow of a release and might get drafted. Scouting ain't what it use to be. I would love to see JJ on Gruden's quarterback camp.

    Yep, Gruden's head exploding would be great TV.

    Plays only get to show their athleticism in the Combine and probably some techniques without having to face pressure. Yet what made JJ a nightmare QB for us for the last 4 years were his inabilities to read defense, to make quick decision under "real game" pressure, lack of leadership, and his "never blame himself" personality. Most of his major issues can't be revealed through a two-day workout and you probably won't notice them unless you follow him as closely as we do year in and year out. I have no doubt in NFL scouts' general capability of smelling physical talents, but sometimes a person's psychological maturity may have more impact on his/her success than technique or talent does, which is exactly the case for JJ. NFL GMs may get deeper infomation about a player from talking to his fanbase than solely relying on the reports from Combine.
