One thing this proves: Jordan Jefferson handled 1/9/12 better than 99% of LSU fans did.

You think JJ and LEE weren't developed enough at LSU. I disagree. They went as far as there talent would take them. If that was the case both would still be in the NFL


No, they weren't developed at all. How can JJ go 61.5% 2166 pass 17-7 TD-INT, 171 rush 1 TD his true fresh year with a running game that didn't have 1600 yards and 17 TDs, to 56.5% 1411 pass 7-10 TD-INT, 450 7 TD? He had absolutely no development. Miles slowly turned a pocket passer into a read-option QB.

I've brought this up plenty of times after seeing what Cam did to Mett. JJ and Lee would have both been 3000 yard passers and we would have been back to back NCG winners in 2010 and 2011. We would have been the ones 3-peating last year.

All we can hope now is that the defense does a 180. Jennings has more talent than JJ and will have a better first year campaign than we have had in a while.

Miles, Lee, JJ, Mett, and every other player plus staff knew that if he didn't do it, we didn't have a chance.
I highly doubt that these guys thought that JJ was the only chance. Besides the fact that they were capable, highly successful athletes have big ego's. Heck, I bet even Brad Wing would have lined up behind center if given the chance.

The fact that it's under your skin already helps prove my point.



It isn't under my skin it just simply isn't "proof" of anything. It is merely Jordan Jefferson's opinion. As we all know, opinions can differ greatly. A good example of this would be this very discussion between the two of us right now.

If you've been on a team, you know sometimes that you have shite at one position, but the shite on the top of the mound is better than the shite on the bottom of the mound. People pull for you because they have no other choice. I promise you these guys knew before hand we didn't have a chance with the back ups. Remember that little AWOL thing Lee did starting in October or November? My thinking is that Lee mailed it in and Mett definitely wasn't ready.

Just like the rumors of a fight/argument in the locker room before the game, the Lee AWOL thing is also nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor.

Who knows if we will ever know what truly happened on 1/9/2012 behind the scenes or on the sidelines. All we know definitively is what happened on the field during the game. And it wasn't pretty and no adjustments were made.

No idea what you're talking about now.

But it cannot be denied that JJ handled the loss better than 99% of LSU fans. This just can't be debated. And the fact that it's true shows just how pathetic some people are.

Mett thought that JJ was the only chance?!? Using your baseball analogy, if your starting pitcher is one of the best in baseball he can probably give up 5 runs in the first inning but stay in the game. But I guarantee that if he doesn't have his stuff together by the 3rd he is getting pulled. And we're talking about JJ, not Brett Favre.

You think that Lee left the team or something? What are you talking about?

What should JJ have said that would make you go hmm?

JJ handled the loss the same way he handled most things. DENIAL.

Denial of what? It's just a football game. He moved on. Perhaps LSU fans should be adults and do the same.

Face it. For 99% of LSU football fans, 1/9/12 was more important to them than it was to JJ, and that speaks incredibly poorly of the fans. Get a grip, people. JJ moved on. Why can't you?

seriously? denial that his performance was atrocious. Heck, denial that his performance in any game was ever anything but outstanding.

JJ's lack of self-critique abilities is pretty well-documented, thanks to pretty much any interview he ever gave.

^^^Another example of the fans handling it more poorly than JJ did.

The class problems, first it was failing, then it was skipping. If stuff has been brought about that, I believe that he was just not into it anymore regardless of if the rumors were true or not. Something was wrong with that dude.
