Lets Quit Bashing our Players

Agreed.

Let's bash the coaches instead. The buck stops with them.

I agree

but the coaches start them and when someone says "I hope he dies in a fire" or anything of the sort, is fricking ridiculous.

I'm not sure I recall any posters hoping a player dies in a fire. I've seen posters say that to other posters (still immature) but not about a player.

Look, this is a public forum for LSU fans to express opinions. The team isn't playing well and numerous players have under-performed. Those players are therefore going to be criticized, and rightly so, since they signed with LSU to play big-boy football. And with that comes pressure and lofty expectations. If they don't want that, go play I-AA ball.

But I think nearly all posters here respect our players, assuming we believe they are working hard, doing their best, and positively representing the university.

But that doesn't exempt them from criticism where it's warranted.

Harris should be starting over Jennings.

Not bashing. Simple fact.

Can you imagine how the silly rantards set back our recruitments if the rantards would help, les would have two more national rings right no or more !

If supporting our team is bending over and letting someone go in dry, no thanks.

Not bashing Jennings at all, Harris is a better talent.

Not bashing Welter either, he's trying his best. Nothing wrong with his absolute best not being up to standard.

I agree with you we do need to be careful 'how' we criticize the players...but they aren't above critique and this is a fan web site, it will happen. But open bashing is uncalled for.

When it comes to coaches all bets are off, these guys make more in one week than some of us will make in 3 years, they should be held to a very high standard. Fans calling out coaches has been around forever, and will always be. Sometimes these guys are so close to the situation, and so believe in their own philosophy and schemes, that they can't see anything else and may need to be jarred back into reality sometimes when things aren't working.

This team is talented and young. Personally I believe this team will continue to improve...then at some point in the future, maybe in a tight game....all the pieces [including the rage] will come together....then look out. Young players age quickly in the SEC.

Still sticking to my prediction

10-2

You know what happens when you corner a wounded tiger?

Harris >>>>>> Jennings
