    I think he would’ve had Terrace Marshall-ish production with Burrow. Poor guy played with Brandon Harris, Anthony Jennings and Etling. Seriously.

    Dupre was talented no doubt. I think it had less to do with the QBs than it had to do with the system and coaching they received. We had countless WRs in that era transfer and succeed or just underperform. Every single QB after Matt Flynn underperformed their recruiting status except for the one who was trained elsewhere before he came here. There’s a common denominator there.

    does the departure of these guys open up other schollys? If so I hope some hard nosed, true football playing walk-ons have a chance to step up and earn a spot.

    Dupre was doing great in the NFL but a really nasty injury cost him. Was sad and illustrates why getting the biggest first contract and signing bonus as possible is so important.

    Shelvin supposedly left at 375 pounds according to O. Heard he was not real interested in continuing to go to class when he could check out and just train. Wish him the best.

    Don't even think it. He could opt out of the next 2 seasons and still be a top 5 pick

    Dupre....are you talking about rookie preseason? Because in 3 years, his entire playing experience is 15 snaps in a single game.

    Is he training to be a professional eater? Tyler is going to eat himself out of the 1st round. He played very well last yr @ 346# after the coaching staff made him drop weight, Now in the off season away from school he gains 30#s back. His inability to control his weight will concern NFL teams. Without the guidance of the LSU nutritionist, he may balloon up past 400.

    Guys, Ive been gone for years. Just became uninterested in the message board thingy but I’m concerned over the perception Ed O has found himself in. I’m no fan of his but he’s being painted with an unfair brush because he supported Trump and missed out on the players march. This new woke attitude is complete BS. You’re pretty much sure if you disagree with democrats you are a racist. The dem party has done a good job turning this BLM stuff into a national issue when in reality it’s a bunch of hoodlums that should be ridiculed.

    Now we have the Saban shown on front page news marching at the front with his players when Ed O is getting murdered among the team and media. That asshat Clark and others are hurting us badly. I’m sick and tired of these whack jobs and now it’s impacting the team. Saban and others will use Ed O’s perceived racist stance against him and this narrative need to be banished and banished quickly. What the hell can we do to offset this mess? 2020 can’t end soon enough. Geaux Tigers.
