Good point

now you know why I stood up for him during the entire 2008 season regardless of how many mistakes he made and am damn proud of it.

While he has had good results this year the one concern I have is he continues to throw off his back foot. Just watched the replay and it is almost every throw. While he has a strong arm and a quick release this is what leads to picks.
Hope he can contnue to " Brett Favre " his way through this.

You could easily say the same for JJ.


be specific.

few people on TD would even start JJ.

he pouts on the sidelines, while JL is on the field.

JL> Tim tebow


I can agree with this on two points.

1. Tebow never went through the adversity that JL has overcome. He was always the "golden child".

2. Lee is a TIGER!! that beats Gator anyday.

You're fvcking kidding right? Miles basically used Lee, and allowed his teammates to use him as well, as the scapegoat for the entire 2008 season. He has handled Lee's career at LSU like a grade A fvcktard.

Les and Lee were in an impossible situation because of RP, I wouldnt say he used him. He used his only viable option.

The one concern I have is whether the most accurate QB in the SEC (check the numbers) will continue to lose snaps to statistically one of the worst, if not the worst, QBs in the SEC.

What leads to picks is a release that looks like a slow-motion version of Peterson doing the windmill.

bullshite the previous poster is correct. Miles threw lee under the bus at least twice that I can remember (once after the Georgia game for sure). He spent the whole season using lee to try and cover his arse for hiring the co d coordnators. The only reason Lee was so bad is b/c our d was so bad and we had to put the game on a rsfros's shoulders. How many times does Miles have to frick up b/4 people relize he's barely an average coach. Anyone who compares him to Saban is an idiot. I promise there's not one team in the country that would take Miles over Saban as a head coach.

No, he is not the Second Coming,


Why do you say this? You really want a list of GREAT qb's that struggled their first year starting in the SEC. The list is as long as your arm, try ALL of them!

and may still yet throw some pick sixes this season


Why be a moron? Most int's are usually the qb's fault, by the returns for td's are open to scrutiny. Many of those td's against JL picks should have been just PICKS and not td's

What have you seen in his time given this year that he is NOT a special player? That's why we are all pissed at LM, he won't let go of his dream to MAKE JJ a qb at this level! IT ain't happenin!

JL is special.......when he is "allowed" to show us

thats how you feel about I understand, but basically you just supported my argument. Lee and Les were put into the situation of having a RS Fresh playing when he should not have been. I never understood this "throw him under the bus" nonsense. When a coach admits a players mistake he is throwing him under the bus, but when he doesn't he is just blindly sticking with a bad player. Make up your minds people.

When Miles is asked in his presser after the georgia game about the poor play on defense, his response is something along the lines of, "Well it's not really our defenses fault (implying that the d coords are doing an adequate job) when you have a qb who opens the game with a pick 6, it's tough to win." That's bull shite and chicken shite on Mile's part. Just thinking about it makes me lose the little respect I have for the man. And if it's not throwing your rsfrosh under the bus then I don't know what is.
