Seriously...do we have a REAL reason why Lee doesn't play?

    That’s really, really lame. He was a redshirt freshman, while JJ was a true freshman. Give me a break

    Against our weakest opposition of the year, and did you not watch the second half of the Bama game last season? When the Bama defenders penned back their ears after they saw JL quaking in his shoes because of the pressure, he started throwing balls directly to the Bama defenders, but luckily the Bama defenders were so shocked by the ball hitting them right in their hands, that they dropped it.

    Yeah in the spring game where the speed and intensity of the game doesn’t come close to replicating the speed and intensity of a real game, where he doesn’t have to worry about being sacked, where blitzing is not allowed, and where the defenses are about as vanilla as it gets.

    Moreover, why do you think JL the backup? Is there some sort of sinister plot by the coaching staff and players to ruin his career?


    Actually past performance is the best indicator of future performance. You are being extremely irrational. You remind me a lot of Obama making government bigger while ignoring all past performances. You and Obama are cut from the same cloth.

    Says who? Miles? Yeah right. However, I would support letting him play in the Tennessee game because with this atrocious offense we can’t win the SEC anyway, and I’m also tired of hearing all the JL harping.

    That’s like saying lets raise taxes because it will boost economic growth. Yeah right, you are setting yourself up again for a big fall. You guys need to realize that irrationality and wishful thinking isn’t the answer to anything much less the answer for LSU’s offense.

    I agree...let's fire Crowton and Studrawa and get some better coaches to replace them. I'd rather replace Miles too, but I don't think that can be accomplished just yet.

    I agree with this. (pick yourself up off the floor, SIU...I've always agreed with this from you)

    Always amazing to sit back and watch this postgame show every week. If you watch football at all and understand a little about what is trying to be accomplished, it befuddles me beyond conception how folks can continue to call out the coaches for the inadequacy on the field. Can you not see the one missing piece to the team. Not that the options at this point are much better than one another. With an average QB, things would be different on the field, but not in the minds of some. Only blame I can see is allowing themselves to get to this point without an adequate QB on campus. But on game day, you gots to execute the plan that is in place, and I dont think the coaches can make it much simpler. That deer in the headlights look says it all. As others have said, time to give someone else a try to lead this team, cant get much worse. Geaux Tigers!

    I am not fan of GC but you have to ask yourself how easy it is to establish a major D1 offense with a QB that gets game shock and can not make a decision or execute.

    Game speed does something to JJ and I don't think the light will ever come on for him.

    Our running game would be amazing if we had any passing at all.

    GC's play calling maybe the problem but hard to tell when the kid directing is game shocked.

    I agree this would be a good week to start Lee and see what he can do and perhaps get him ready for Florida but that is'nt going to happen.
    Lee will probably play very little this week and next week get thrown to the gators when we are down in the game and they know he is going to throw.

    What you mean I don’t have an answer either? He’s the starter because he unequivocally is the better of the two, unless you believe that he is the victim of some sort of sinister plot by the coaching staff and players to ruin his career.

    Give me a break; he passed for just a lousy 31 percent against a decimated La Tech team last year.

    JJ is the starter because he is unequivocally the better of the two, unless you believe that JL is the victim of some sort of sinister and devious plot by the coaching staff and the players to keep him off the field.

    However, even though JJ is the starter it doesn’t mean he wasn’t pretty awful last night in the second half. Indeed, it really doesn’t matter who is the quarterback, as long as Crowton is here they will all suck.

    People keep bringing up crowton in 2007, in his first year as OC while forgetting that very little of his scheme was implemented that year. Most of the playcalling was jimbo's stuff because that's what the players knew. This mess we have now is all GC. His scheme is meant for a less athletic team that doesn't have advantages everywhere. Any given Saturday, we have the best skill players on offense. So everytime we run the stupid option is one more time the ball isn't I'm those playmakers hands. It makes no sense for ANY QB short of denard robinson to have more offensive plays than the clearly more athletic skill players. JJ should be throwing passes or handing the ball off to a back. Mix 2 or 3 sneaks, but he shouldn't have 12 running plays. That's more touches than your three 5 star receivers got.

    I make no secret that I do not want to see JL touch the field, but at this point he has to. If JJ leaves the field, so does the option. JL has to get a chance. If he sucks it up, then at least CLM can honestly tell us, this is what we are. We're going to be the Jets...play good D and ST, run the football, throw when we must. Try and stop us.

    There is no reason these top flight qb's don't want to come play with all this talent than they don't want to play for crowton scheme. You have guys at bama and notre dame opting to sit for 3 years and there are still more guys coming behind them. Amazing. AJ Mccarron will have two years left when GMac leaves. And they're steady signing them knowing they won't air it put too much.

    I'm happy with wins but frustrated with what I see on offense. I know SIU beats his points to death, buy he's right. Our problem is more coaching than QB. Hopefully the plug gets pulled on crowton after the season. I'll donate to the cause.

    Says who? You? :lol:

    You don't understand what "unequivocally" means.
