If you don't like JJ getting playing time...

I disagree.

Lee is an average college QB. JJ is not. Combine the two and we have below average QB play.

I would take the backup (who started) for McNeese over JJ any day. We are playing with half the offensive opportunities of the other teams.

 

well so far, the only QB given a chance at getting into a rhythm is JJ in the first few games and we know what happened there.

let it be known that i would be ok if lee got 100% of the snaps. he is a much better QB right now than JJ. that's where i stand so please take that into account when i say this (because i know for some people there is no such thing as gray area , it's you either think one extreme or the other):

lee was doing things last night that if JJ did he would be jumped all over. lack of accuracy on screens, throwing off back foot, etc.

but i don't understand the "we only passed 7 times in the 2nd half" point. lee wasn't subbed in in garbage time like state and vandy. we threw it plenty in the first half.

but the bottom line is as one poster pointed out, he led all our TD drives and the missed FG drive.

i guess i don't care about style points (just points on the scoreboard). but really wanted lee to have an eye opening game to drive the point home that he should be "the guy".

 

Seeing JJ sit in the pocket and hold the ball, and hold the ball, and hold the ball, and hold the ball some more literally makes me sick. I'm screaming "get rid of it" the whole time. It's like he's completely unable to make a reasonably timely decision. His indecisiveness would make Bret Favre jealous.

 

Kinda hard to play with fire when JJ absolutely kills drives for you.

I was fully expecting LSU to look flat last night. Which is why I've said all week that this game should be used to let JLee take all the snaps, get playing time, and MAKE MISTAKES.

JLee lead us on 4 TD drives, 1 FG drive that was missed, and 2 punts (1 that was due to questionable officiating on the series). If TT wouldn't have been mugged on that pass and the Shep pass wasn't called back Lee would have had 140+ yards passing on the night, while going 11/16. Not world buster but at least "good".

Also, kinda hard to get much going with only 7 passes thrown in the 2nd half. Once Miles got the lead comfortable he went into complete run the clock out mode.

 

Why should I be mad????

I see the exact same pattern as last game.

Jefferson in = punts and turnovers
Lee in = 4 TDS.

We have to remember that Miles specifically wanted to get the rookie RBs some carries and experience. 7 passes for the entire 2nd half I think qualifies as being consistent with that notion.

I still like my chances with Lee more than Jefferson.

AND HEY .. we r 7-0!! first time since what ... 2004??

:geaux:

 

BINGO!!!!!!

This swapping out crap between average and pitifull is gonig to cost a game next week.

Ridley and Ford are perfectly capable of running the ball. No need for Jefferson to be in there except for special circumstances where you know it is going to be a run.

Lee is the better passer between the two .. end of story.

 

Quit the patronizing. We don't need JJ for anything. He's a liablility even holding a clip board.

 

What really sucks , even though it didn't happen last night , is that lee drives you down the field and then they let jj come in for the score. Ridley runs his azz off and jj gets to run it in. They do this to butter up jj's stats. They give this poor azz excuse for a qb all the glory for other people's work. And the bitch of it is jj's proud of it. He thinks he's doing something but he's stealing other players stats. It's like going to a club and picking up this hot chick. Getting this prime score home and turning off the light and then someone knocks you in the head and sneaks in in the darkness and hell you can figure out the rest
