Wonder what will happen.

Sure hope (for LSU fans) that he dont get his spot back somehow......surely he wont but you never know.

I hope there's something in the school honor code that would apply.

OJ proved you can get away with murder if you are famous and /or have money.

More of the same... different scale.

he will go to another SEC school, start, sign to the NFL, bench for two years, start somewhere in the NE and be called a hero... someone take note..

Nah....not him. He does not have the smarts to play NFL QB. Heck....he cant even play college football.

 

[USMC-Deano]

Frickin' A...let's just hope, indeed. If he does get the starting job back, we can kiss that crystal football goodbye. If he is placed back on the team, he should be #3 behind Lee and Mett.

Well, apparently Brad Wing(P) had the same charge brought against him and he's still playing(outstanding, I might add).

If JJ ever plays in the NFL at QB, it will be a time when the NFL is no longer worth watching....

 

[S&W4ME]

he will go to another SEC school..

Pretty sure he doesn't have any more eligibility.

 

[dantheman]

Regardless of whether he did it or not , he still broke curfew ( team rules ) and demonstrated extremely poor leadership qualities by being in the middle of that situation . That clown has no business in an LSU uniform and I can only hope that Coach Miles realizes that .

 

[Speedlace]

Les Miles said on his show that JJ will be practicing with the team this week.

 

[jgreco15]

Subscribed. I hope the coachs/school have some dignity when deciding.

This has potential to be bad.

 

[kajuntriton]

I say he will bump Lee within the next 3 games IF not sooner!! I think the TRUE LSU fans should start petitions to the TAF!

I do watch LSU and pull for them to a degree, BUT if this POS returns to the field LSU will not be back on my TV!!

 

[03protege]

If Les goes back to the "two quarterback system" I will be upset to say the least.

 

[S&W4ME]

If Les goes back to the "two quarterback system" Alabama will have another national title .

Fixed it for you

 

[jmanrogers]

Les needs to just keep things like they are. Starting or playing Jefferson will surely DOOM the LSU Tigers season. My mother always told me, "You make your bed, so you sleep in it!" Jefferson needs to be charged and he can play end, guard and tackle. That is, he can sit his sorry butt on the END of the bench, GUARD the water and TACKLE anybody that tries to take it. DO NOT LET HIM PLAY QUARTERBACK!!!

 

[mitter]

Think about it. Les ingnored and downplayed the whole incident, and didnt take any action until warrants were issued. And given the fact that he's letting JJ practice already, means he immediately lifted the suspension. For what ever reason, JJ can do no wrong in Les' eyes. He'll definitely play again. About the only thing I see that would stop JJ from seeing play time will be his short practice week. If not this week, definitely next.

I would just love to know who's paying his legal bills.

 

[jms]

1st if he were to change colleges he would have to sit the 1st yr. out . 2nd if Miles allows him back that will kill the fans and most of all ,Jarret Lee would for ever be ruined in his loseing a job while winning . I have been a fan since 1955 ,that would end as Jefferson broke the rules ,he must be punished . No mercy ,no second chance ! ! ! Rules are rules .

 

[Xenon]

There is no good outcome here: 1) Jeff gets benched, "people" start yelling this is unfair/racism, but LSU keeps winning 2) 2 QB system will doom the team 3) Miles lets Jeff back into starting role and LSU barely plays up to competition like last year.

I prefer #1, but honestly Miles will probably say they have to compete for the starting job in practice
