    Good. You're almost to your quota for a thread talking about JJ. Just a couple dozen more times and you'll be squared-up.

    I don't know about everyone here but I took very little stock into what goes on at the combine. Anybody can run fast and look the part what you do come game time is 1000 times more important to me

    Maybe you should read the entire thread I was not the one to bring up JJ but I will be glad to discuss him. It is a forum after all.

    I think it is great that we have two guys in the top, and 3 that are likely to be drafted and given a chance to prove themselves. I think we'll see all of the top 5 playing on Sunday within the next two years, maybe even next year.

    I hope Baker and Peterson improved their stock a bit in the combine, especially Peterson. He really wasn't given much of a chance this past year thanks to our run run run run offense.

    As for Jefferson ... I don't think the NFL is going to fall for his B.S. Momma aint' gonna be able to help him. Quite Frankly, I don't know what the hell he was even doing there.

    I would have rather seen Lee at 44.0 than Jefferson. At least he would have been invited. JJ has the lowest score in the combine ... but Lee doesn't even have a score in the combine. Which is worse??

    I can't help but think that JJ's return really hurt Lee's chances of being recognized. You know how it is .. the last guy on the stage is the one who gets all the notice. OK .. I know .. Lee sucks too .. but it's about opportunity. Had he been able to continue to start the rest of the season like he should have, he quite possible could have been the #1QB in the SEC, with bigger numbers, which may have given him a chance to at least get in as a body at a NFL camp. As it is, he's going to have to really shine on LSU Pro Day. I hope like hell he does. I know he's been out west working with some pro QB coaches .. so hopefully all works out.

    Maybe you should do the same because I never said you brought him up.

    Y'all do know all of these fail articles messed up and are talking about arbitrary rankings that were posted before the combine, right? NFL.com hasn't touched them since a week before.

    Many of the LSU guys increased their stock.

    What data?

    He copied and pasted all but 2 sentences from NFL.com.

    He failed to realize or probably even watch the combine drills. They don't tell you everything about a player especially QBs but JJ actually did way better than expected along with many other LSU players.

    Of the two sentences not copied and pasted where comments about JJ twitter comments to Detiller(sp?) who said he shouldn't be there. JJ got nice reviews from many of the coaches at the combine and made him eat some of his words. GG had it backwards.
