If I was Coach Miles, I wouldn't have let Lee dress out, if you remember they'd show Lee would be warming up on the sidelines or stretching, everytime JJ would come off the field after another 3&out. That sticks into the back of the QB's mind, knowing that the backup is looking over his shoulder, causing him to press and try to make something happen (that usually results in mistakes...unless your name is Cam Newton)...especially if Coach Miles had no intention of playing Lee, even when the LSU faithful were booing JJ in the early part of the 3rd Qtr.
So what you're saying is that Trotter's steady decline in production from the Clemson game until he was unchained against Clemson is Chizik's fault because Turtle Moseley was one bad throw from stepping in?
Think about that a minute.
Trotter was straight money when we needed two perfect drives to save the day against the mighty Tongans.
Played his ass off first half against Clemson. But they bludgeon the defense. Trying to make something happen he throws a pick in the endzone.
Plays hesitantly but is gold when we needed a game winning drive against the Cocks.
Struggles on the road at Arky. Weak first half against the Gaytors. Go sit over there.
Offense sucks WORSE for Five games and three series.
Trotter is gold again.
His best moments came when he knew the job was his to do. Two game winning drives. One bowl rescue.
Makes me wonder what the ghost of turtle did to his psyche and what role the coaches played in creating that.
FWIW Super Trotter doesn't beat UA or LSU but it would have been more competitive. I think he could have beaten UGA. Maybe. So in terms of record there may have been little or no change. It's all in how bad we looked getting there.
I heard Turtle sent Jefferson a thank you card for looking even more inept than he did.
