    No he can't. He's never showed particularly elusiveness as a runner. He's a decent runner, has decent hands, runs decent routes, has decent speed, and is a good football player. Not great. He will not get drafted. No chance.

    And i like the guy.

    He probably will calmn down and stay, but I will not blame him one bit if he chooses to transfer.

    You can call BS all you want, I'm not asking for your opinion.. I'm stating a fact of what's going on.. Shep is not the only player talking about leaving.

    My thoughts exactly. This could be awful for recruiting in years to come.

    True. There are few places he can go where the QB will be better than Mettenberger.

    Not really fatalism, but just general doubts about what the future may hold.

    Or arena league. Cat just isn't built for the NFL and hasn't proved he is worth a draft choice. I hope he comes to his senses and sticks around.

    Sam's comment has been discussed already.. He wasn't talking about Les, his comment was to a girl and the last part meant in les's voice.. he's not the only player that uses that term.

    I believe Crowton's assertions that the offense he ran really wasn't his had more truth to it than many want to acknowledge. Our offense really hasn't changed much from last year. We still run the same pitiful option over and over again, to no avail. And JJ could only wish to have Tebow's release and accuracy! Granted, our O line showed a lot better and we had that nice stable of running backs this year, but the plays and JJ haven't been a whole lot different. We did our most damage after the O line wore the other team out. Our best offense was when we were throwing downfield with JL pulling the trigger. Miles just loved JJ.
    And it doesn't seem many bring up why hasn't Mett played more (fairly silent minority have). He was on course to beat out Aaron Murray at Georgia as a freshman 2 years ago and he lead his JC team to the national championship, yet he wasn't ready to play for LSU because we already had 2 stud QBs?
