Because we have no idea what happens if Lee starts the entire game. Why do you automatically assume that there is a 0% chance of LSU scoring with Lee in on the first drive?

The point that you're unwilling to admit is that the 83 yard run is an outlier. It's the type of play that is such a fluke it's never going to happen again. Plays like that happen once in a career for people like JJ.


Powerman, is Jay Cutler still the best QB in the NFL?

WHy do you and others automatically assume there's a 0% chance of LSU scoring on the last drive with JJ?

To me those stats show JLee should start. Throw out yards by any other player than the QB. Those are the yards they are responsible for. Production head to head by that player. JJ threw for 30 yards and had a once in a lifetime 80 plus yard run that will never happen again. Put Lee in the rest of the year and watch how we discover our receiving corps again.

Its more of a respect thing than anything. JL deserves it, JJ's attitude and performance have been dreadful

No,I've admitted that at least 5 times in this thread alone.

What you are unwilling to admit is that a 16 play drive that was bungled even before the master bungling is also an outlier.

I agree.

Part of the reason I want Lee to play more is that he brought energy and attitude to the game. JJ's attitude hasn't seemed superb this year (though I hate judging body language etc.).

Let's say, hypothetically, these numbers continue.

Do you want to rediscover our receiving corps at the risk of losing our best, most consistent offensive player (Ridley)?

Stupid argument: when Lee was in, LSU moved the effectively enough through the air

We didn't need to run!!! So we didn't!

Compare Lee vs Jefferson with only Passing yards

What was lee's yards per play (passing only) vs Jefferson's yards per play (passing only)...

Jeffersons 83 yard run skewed your numbers and makes an invalid argument as far as qb effeiciency is concerned..

if you are going to continue witht he ridley being a better rb with JJ could you include the vandy game and other instances with JJ at QB handing off to ridley? This would be a little more fair I believe, considering how few carries he had with each vs tenn. As I recall ridley had a 65 yd run with JL at qb vs vandy

Actually, since it's the longest run by a QB in LSU history, plays like that don't even happen once for people that play QB for LSU. But I see what you're trying to say. Still, it did happen...

We needed to run to get it in the end zone.

There is no doubt though that we moved the ball better through the air with JL at QB.

If you take out both QB's biggest plays, Jefferson still has more yards per play than Lee.

We ran it just as much, but less effectively.

Why do his rush yards not count?

Speaking of that long run, did we ever see that play again in the game? Or that same play with us handing it to Shep instead? I don't remember it if we did.

Also, I would have loved to seen the reaction of the rare person that bet on Tennessee straight up and thought they had won...and then the reaction a few minutes later.

Ridley got a 65 yard with Lee at QB, yes.

Let's see what happens going forward.

We ran some variants of it. I think we ran the exact play one more time for a few yards.

Once we ran a really nice option play where Shep jab stepped inside like he was taking the handoff and then went out on an option with JJ. JJ pitched, ended up as about a 9 yard gain. Nice play.

After skimming over this thread I have surmised that Powerman is the only poster (in this thread) that possesses any knowledge of statistics.

Interesting.

JJ is pretty adept at running the read option. That most likely accounts for it. JJ is better at running the read option than JL is at throwing the ball. When JJ hands the ball off, LB's have to still account for Jefferson. . .it freezes them sometimes. When Lee was in, they were relatively confident he was no threat to run.

At this point, though, I am willing to make that trade off. Lee needs to be the guy, and JJ should play the change of pace guy (ala Tebow to Leak or Taylor to that white guy at Va Tech years back).

I will refrain from the praise that many on here are heaping upon Lee. He is about to play an away game in a very hostile place, against a REALLY good defense. He plays like he did against UTk (not stats, actual throws/decisions), and nobody will want him behind center again.

Has anyone already asked how you dealt with the plays where the drive stalled for JJ and Lee came in on 3rd and impossible and was asked to try to throw the ball to convert?

I'm pretty sure Lee came in on a 3rd and 22, a 3rd and 9, and maybe a 3rd and goal from about the 9, if I remember right.

That's three snaps Lee ate trying to bail out a drive that was pretty much dead on Jefferson's watch.
