Jamarus Russell off to a great start: not really

Yeah, really.

Little revisionist there? The stats and the wins don't lie.

I don't recall "most fans calling for flynn", though there were some. You obviously were one of them. Please dig up the threads that show "most fans" doing this.

You mean I have a right to fondly remember a guy that played quite well for LSU and won a ton of games? Gee thanks.

 

Well if you love JR this much, you must think Jefferson is the next Peyton Manning.

 

and this shocked you?

when Jamie Howard was starting, people wanted Herb.
when Booty was starting, everyone wanted Rohan
When Mauck was starting, people wanted Randal
when Randal was starting, people wanted Russel
when Russell was starting, people wanted Flynn
when Flynn was starting, people wanted Perrilloux
when lee was starting, they wanted Jefferson
when jefferson started, they want sheppard

it will never end.

 

pathetic.

 

As is usually the case. The back up is always, to the fans, the better QB until it becomes their job.

 

so is the fact that you think Russell was a good QB.

 

The fact that people would think he wasn't based on his college career is mind numbing.

 

Well you asked to be embarrassed so...

Yeah, that's absolutely pathetic. If Russell sucked so bad, then LSU has never had anything but bad Qbs. Good luck proving that.
