LSU Should Start Jordan Jefferson from Day 1

stupid article IMO. Just b/c a QB is a bit more talented coming out of high school doesn't mean he shouldn't have to compete for the spot. We don't know if he's going to be better than Lee in the long run. The only way to figure that out is to let them compete and battle for the starting job.

Jefferson played aweful in saturday's scrimmage. He is NOT ready to play QB right now.

The hardest thing for QB's is going against a defense like LSU everyday in practice. The games will get easier and provide a better evaluation point for the new QB's.

With that said, I think LSU should've started Early Doucet at QB last year over both Flynn and Perriloux - did you see that pass in the Bama game he threw to Flynn.

+1

Those other posts from people who saw the last scrimmage reported he was throwing interceptions left and right and JL was on the money with nearly every toss. Sounds like a pretty clear winner to me (at least in that particular scrimmage). JJ will be a juggernaut next year, we'll get him some reps/PT/experience this year. After all, you never know if injuries, etc., will get him in the game sooner than expected. We may not win the NC or the SECC, but LSU will play some amazing football this year. Kickoff can't get here soon enough.

The kid's not ready at all.....trust me.

While he makes a good point, and equally compelling arguement can be made for all three QB's this year. I do agree that this is the most critical personel decision Les has had to make as HC and could go a long way in defining the longterm future and success of LSU football. Just one more thing to LOVE about college football, the built in turnover ratio brings similar situations up every year and gives each season and team it's own unique challenges to overcome. Every year you get to watch the teams evolve as certain players step up while others will fade. Following recruiting makes this all the more interesting b/c you start rooting for players and guessing who will be the "next in line". I'm confident Les and staff will make the right decision, 2008 will be interesting to say the least. OH, by the way only 11 Freakin dayz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dude:

he may not appear to be ready to you. but, is it more foolish to say definitively that he is not ready at all, shouldn't start, and couldn't be successful this year; or to say that he could be our starting qb?

I think it is apparantly obvious to nearly everyone, that it is very difficult to start as a true freshman in the SEC. But, to act like it is impossible is retarded.

Heck, half of the people on here think that R. Sheppard's gonna come in and take the job away from all 3 of these guys next year after they all have game experience. I disagree with those people, just saying what people think.

J. Lee will be our starter for a long time. I don't see him losing out to any of the rest right now, unless he gets hurt.

negative sir. definite pt but no starts.
