Just wondering what you thought of Jarrett Lee's 4th Quarter performance last night. I would have liked to see him throw the ball more than once. But i thought the offense responded to him very well. He looked clean and in control. On the first and only throw, he took the snap and had a quick release to a receiver. He knew where he was going. so, what do you guys think? Should we see more of Lee? or not? What do you think? I just want to have the best quarterback, to win the game.:geaux:
Got to see more of him before anyone can say how he's improved. We've seen enough of Jefferson to know that he's the same old Jefferson.
I'm going to venture out on the limb and say you are going to Lee earlier and perhaps more frequently than you saw last night. We have to get better production out of the QB position.
Yes, Lee needs to be our starter! We have definitely seen way too much of Jefferson. Time to put Brooks on the bench and bring in Delhomme.
I always here that America is the land of redemption and second chances.... give the kid a shot. He got hosed in 08 because of RP.... he deserves a fair shot. LSU owes him that.
the head coach can go stupid a hurt Brooks is better than the other guy at 100% !!! really Delhomme lead a team to the SuperBowl Brooks took many to unemployment
As absolutely inept throwing the ball as JJ was, and remember, I'm not the huge fan of JJ by any means, I think it's somewhat kind of unfair to draw any major conclusions from JL's performance. After all, like you pointed out, it was only 1 throw. However, on that throw, I was curious as to seeing how the offense would change with Lee in control. Until that point, with JJ in the game, we ran a lot of "read option" plays. JJ has the ability to run the ball on such reads (SOME might be inclined to consider JJ a "DUAL THREAT" QB because of that fact...but as I've personally experienced, some here don't consider him a running threat because a recruiting site didn't list him as such...). I liked JL's fake of the hand-off and hit RR on a quick-hitter for 16 yards. Vandy hadn't seen us attempt that aspect from the formation before. It was an interesting wrinkle and it worked perfectly. No doubt JJ will once again be the starter next weekend. Miles has shown that he's loyal to his starting QB....but he does have the habbit of letting his loyalty burn him. And while I agree with riding your QB a bit dispite his struggles at times, last night, it was clear (at least to me) that JJ simply did not have "it". He couldn't hit the swing passes. He couldn't hit the hot route slants. He was about as inaccurate as you could be last night. And at that point, you're not doing him any favors by keeping him in the game. You're not building confidence in him after he turns the ball over or makes a bad read... you're watching him grow increasingly frustrated with his performance. JL should have entered the game long before he did. I honestly don't believe JJ will improve more so than what he already has. I really don't. Do I want to see him fail just to prove I was right? Of course not! That's just evil! ...but I DO fear that no change (be it in-game changes or depth-chart changes) will take place until AFTER we see JJ play this poorly again and we don't have the defense playing "lights out" like they did end up losing a game. Last night's offensive woes weren't on the O-line. JJ had loads of time on MULTIPLE occassions all game long and our running game was putting up yards. It wasn't the play-calling (save for the possible complaint about an end-around on 3rd and 2 in the first half). The sputtering on offense lies at the feet of a QB that was wildly inaccurate on just about every type of pass there is. Couldn't hit the swing pass. Couldn't hit the bubble screen. Couldn't accurately hit a WR in stride on a slant. Failed miserably at throwing a fade pattern to the back corner of the endzone to a WR that's 6'5" and had nearly 6" on his defender. 8-of-20 for 95 yards, 0 TD's and 1 INT will not cut it against a team other than Vandy.
I think that he will go in the game earlier if JJ continues at the same level next week. It's still JJ's job to lose, but he'll have the opportunity to prove he's good or we're all right next week
