After watching bits and pieces of the LSU spring game on ESPN I was somewhat bored about the whole thing to be honest. I watched what appeared to me to be more of the same thing we've always seen from Jordan Jefferson. He was about average on his passing skills and an above average runner. It seems like unless Jefferson starts to screw up really badly, then he is the quarterback for this year. Jefferson will be called on to make the occasional throws he needs to and will complete enough of them to manage the game effectively.
Jarret Lee seems to be more of the same to. He was not that impressive and threw and interception as I recall. There's really no reason at this point to think that Lee will split time in a regular basis with Jefferson at quarterback during the season.
Of course, everyone wanted to see the new guy Mettenberger and what he could do. He's stands as a tall impressive figure in the pocket and opened the second half with a nice touchdown pass down field. After watching his performance it looked as that he is at least close to becoming the number two guy behind Jefferson. It appears though that Miles is loyal to his two seniors and for Mettenberger to get serious playing time in key situations appears unlikely at this point. Now, all this could change but based on Coach Miles past history it doesn't seem likely.
