Relax, man. I'm just saying the game would have still been close due to those ST blunders. Lee did exactly what I always thought he could. It feel good to be proven right.
He hasn't thrown a pick 6 this year. I really have a problem with people still being hung up on his 2008 performance. The Kid is a Winner .. and he is a Leader. My buddy who is a Razorback Fan came over last to watch the game .. and even he noticed .. .when Jarret Lee is leading the offense, the blockers block harder, the running backs run harder, the receivers run better routes and stretch to make the plays. It's no suprise, or coincidence, that all 4 TD drives last night were when Jarrett Lee was leading the offense. And CUDOS to who ever called the fade play to Tolliver, as opposed to Ridley. Reckon Gonzales has taken over the helm??
Two excellent points. Lee played well again and is clearly the better choice between him and JJ. Not sure that he will be one of the top 25 QB's in college football but we can drive the ball with him under center.
Lee needs to be the starter. He has earned it. JJ can come in on occasion, but I think the rotation should end.
I was re-playing some parts of the game this morning, and one thing that Lee now does extremely well is recognize the pressure before the snap. On the big play by TT that set up the last TD, he knew the blitz was coming from the right side. He picked up on it immediately and threw the ball to exactly where TT was headed. Terrance still had 2 defenders to squeeze through to make the catch, but the route and pass were simply perfect. Let this kid play. He will keep the defenses so frickin' honest.
I honestly believe his "pick-6" problems were a case of a young QB trying to make every throw and taking too many chances. No QB is, or ever will be, immune to throwing INT's. It's the nature of the game. But you can't deny that Lee's accuracy, quick release, etc. aren't superior to Jefferson's. If we're going to continue using both QB's, I just wish Lee would get the title of "starter"--kid's deserved it; kid's EARNED it. And Lee should be the QB for all 2 min. offenses, opening possessions and last possessions.
Lee should start! But he knows that jj will lose it and have an emotional breakdown if he's not the starter. Jj had the best game of this year because he's fighting for his job and if he wasn't named starter he would cry and quit. Jl is the hero and jj is the goat. Did you see the look on his face when he wasn't put in the game on the winning goal line series. Did you see him po and about to cry. I'm not sure he was 100% happy with jl's winning pass. He was happy with the win I'm sure but the envy was written all over his face. Jl's got my respect jj not so much
