One of the Yokels here in Tallahassee tells me that Bobby talked about this on his show the other day. Someone asked about his old policy of "you don't lose your job to injury". Bobby acknowledged that he used to have that policy but went on to declare that rule officially dead.

Sounds like the job is Xavier's to lose.

Xavier Lee's quiet about backup QB role, but father critical of Seminoles' coaches
By Andrew Carter | Tallahassee Bureau
September 13, 2007

TALLAHASSEE - Willie Lee was between deliveries in Maryland when he took time away from his rig to turn on the TV Saturday night. He flipped to the Florida State-UAB game and waited for his son to play in an anticipated Seminoles rout.

The expected blowout didn't happen. And Xavier Lee didn't play.

Hundreds of miles away, a father's heart ached.

"I don't have nothing against Drew Weatherford," Willie Lee said earlier this week, speaking about FSU's starting quarterback. "He's a great kid ? he's just been given more of an opportunity than Xavier has been given.

"I don't understand what's going on."

What's going on is this: Two games into the 2007 season, Xavier Lee, the former star quarterback at Seabreeze High in Daytona Beach, appears to be buried on the bench.

For the third consecutive year, Lee is behind Weatherford, a fellow redshirt junior. Unless Weatherford becomes injured or significantly regresses, it's unlikely that Lee ? one of the best high school quarterbacks in state history ? will ever start another game for the Seminoles.

Beach can still recall the details of Lee's recruitment.

"All I know is how good he was and what he was told when he was being recruited," the coach said. "The scheme that we ran fit what he did and that was a selling point [that FSU would run a similar offense]. I have yet to see that scheme."

Somebody apparently didn't bother to watch an FSU game from 2001-2004 after Richt left, Weinke and Minor graduated, and Jeff Bowden molded Chris Rix into ... uh ... whatever the hell that was.

Considering what Jimbo Fisher is now doing with Drew Wetterpants, the folks here in Tallahasee have begun wondering out loud whether they didn't divest themselves of the wrong Bowden.
