I get your point, but replacing TM7 with PP7 would not make this defense any better.

Trading TM7 for a top QB would be better for LSU as a whole, but it would certainly hurt the defense. Is it more fun to watch TM7 tear it up or a top QB? I don't know.

A top QB affects the offense on every play, there is no question as my first post was Andrew Luck. I was responding to the quote of any player in history, and showing he isn't even the best LSU player at his position in the last 2 years much less no other player in history.

I just feel like his value is more than what he brings talent wise. To me, he appears to be the leader of this defense already and the defense most definitely has taken on his personality. I think he is one of those rare players that really does make the players around him better. Just a gut feeling.

This is the one thing that will always affect TM7 in his career IMO. He will have trouble getting on All-SEC or All-American teams down the road because he will be listed as a CB. I know he was a freshman All-American, but those voters just look down the stat sheets and place their votes. To be an All-American now, he will have to be considered a great CB, and he technically does not fit the bill nationally.

However, he already is the greatest defensive "utility" player in LSU history IMO, and I love the intensity that he brings to the game.
