I Will Always See Lee as the Starting QB for the 2011 Season

When I look back on this season years from now, I think that I will always remember Lee as the starting QB. My memories of Jefferson as a QB or playmaker are almost nill. But, I saw Lee actually lead the team and get position us where we needed to be. We won the SEC and it was a great season.

And for those who say "let it go," the answer is "no." I am not going to let my memories of the season go and I will see it as Lee's season, despite what happened at the end.

That's fine, but you have to admit that Jefferson did play a significant role in getting us a SEC Championship (first Alabama game) and into the National Championship game.

Thanks to both quarterbacks. We would not have won if Lee played the full Alabama game.

Honestly, Jefferson led us to 9 points. I really don't see where what he did was that impressive. He has been glorified for that game, but the offense still did very little. Yes, we won, but it isn't like he was an offensive dynamo that game. He was efficient and didn't lose the game.

He absolutely lost the second game. So, it's a wash.

I'm done giving that kid kudos. His play and comments following the BCS CG cemented that for me. He "never" plays badly. It's always a fellow teammate. I'm glad he's gone.

JL is 10x the person and QB JJ could ever be.

And, we should have played both QBs from that point on. We were better when we did. My point though, is that years from now, it is Lee that I will think of as the starting QB for this team. Sure, I will remember what Jefferson did, but Lee is the one who will come to mind first.

I really don't have to admit anything at this point. As a JJ supporter for a better part of the last 4 yrs, his actions, behavior and his general delusion about his performances left me pretty disillusioned.

Have you seen the Alabama defense!!??!? The most a team has scored on them all year was 21 and that was freaking Georgia Southern against the Alabama scout team.

Yeah, more than Lee could say. He was tossing up picks left and right. Without that block in the back on his second (back to back interception), we would have lost.

Blame the coaches for not getting the kid prepared, not Jefferson. The coaches didn't pull him when they should have. Besides, do you really believe Lee would have made a difference against their defense?

Jefferson led 1 fricking drive in the bama game that was 80% michael ford. Where did this myth come from that JJ led us to this miracle victory at Alabama. Lee actually looked pretty damn good early on before they put JJ in to begin with. Outside of that 1 drive JJ basically did shite all year.

No, it is just an accurate assessment of what happened.

Did you freaking watch the damn game!!?? 3/7 for 24 yards and 2 interceptions is "pretty damn good"? Wow. He damn near had as many interceptions as completions. If you can't admit that Lee completely shite the bed and morphed back into 2008 Jarrett Lee, then you are an irrational, biased fan with #12 sunglasses on.

Lee looked as ineffective on Nov 5 as JJ did in the NC game. Difference is, Lee got maybe one quarter of a leash and JJ got all four. I think this astounds people more than anything else.

I try not to dwell on it and move forward but the irrationality of the situation keeps hounding me.

And I don't get the Lee hate on this board. He threw 14 TDs and 3 INTs all year and led us to 8 straight wins over a slew of ranked teams on the road. Sure, JJ came off the bench and played well in the Bama game, as he should have. But, he should have gone back to the bench and come in at spots throughout the rest of the games.

But, the point of this thread is that in the future, it is Lee and his play that will come to mind, not JJ. JJ played well in the Arkansas game and did not lose the Bama game for us. That's about it.

When did you become disillusioned? JJ stated that he played last year when he threw for 4 yards against a rent a win team. He was always delusional about the quality of his play, and he often blamed his teammates for our lack of offense.

The NCG was just the final example.

I didn't say a word about Miles and I was saying how I would see Lee and this season. I'm not pissing on JJ. I just think he was basically irrelevant to the season, except as a change of pace backup for the Bama game. He did what a backup should have done - give a spark off the bench when Lee struggled for one game. The rematch proved that JJ was no better against Bama than Lee was. It was the change of pace that Saban could not adjust to.
