Damn good article on J.Lee, kid is coming along just fine.

Lee smiles at the suggestion he is a quarterback who can lose his poise. He made a bad throw, just like quarterbacks do. He can also pick himself back up, just like quarterbacks do.
"I was taught when I was a little kid, it is not how hard you get knocked down, it's about how you get back up," Lee said. "I instilled that in my mind when I was young, and the second half of the Auburn game was the perfect opportunity for that. I had to keep my head up."

Lee, 19, proved how well he picked himself back up at Auburn, in front of a noisy crowd of 87,451.
The interception return for a touchdown by Gabe McKenzie came in the second quarter. Lee's first pass after that interception, which came in the third quarter, was a third-down dart for a 16-yard gain and a first down at the Auburn 39.
Three plays later, Lee, under pressure, completed a 39-yard touchdown pass to Chris Mitchell to pull LSU within 14-10.
In the fourth quarter, Lee drove LSU 54 yards for the winning score in the 26-21 victory. Auburn was geared to stop the run on the final drive, so Lee completed all four of his passes in the march, including one into the flat that receiver Brandon LaFell turned into an 18-yard touchdown.
"He knows how to put the play he just made behind him, no matter if it was successful or not," said LSU coach Les Miles. "It's behind him, and he is all about making the next play. It will serve him well in a competitive environment.
"Jarrett was being aggressive, he wasn't timid," Miles said of the interception. "He was trying to make a play. You have to like that

."

The 6-2 Lee is a pocket passer. When he sets to throw, he brings the ball just behind his right ear and has a quick release. He flicks it free of his hand, a response to a drill of facing a wall and putting his hand up to the wall while holding a ball to show the proper release technique.

"It comes out of there quick, and it's a nice pass. No, it's a pretty pass," said Demetrius Byrd, a wide receiver. "You come out of your move and the ball is there. I like that ball he throws."

I liked this kid from the start. There are some old videos of him (high school vids) of him throwing the ball, and I knew from that moment that he was going to be a special player. Oh yeah, and... good article!
