To those criticizing Dupre
Posted on 9/11/16 at 8:18 am

I happen to remember another highly touted LSU WR poised to come in and have a big year in 2012 also struggle mightily with drops only to be called sorry and overrated and soft by the LSU fanbase. I believe his name was Odell Beckham Jr. Understand how frustrating it must be for Dupre as a top HS WR to come into an offense and barely even have catchable balls thrown his way. It completely takes a player out of rhythm. Then, even when he does have a ball that should be caught his confidence is low and his nerves or high so he blows it. Dupre is gonna be a high round NFL draft pick for a reason and he'll be just another player LSU looks back on and says "Man if we had that guy why couldn't we win more?" The LSU fan base has to stop crucifying players because of a few bad games and crowning players because of a few (or one) good one.

Seriously???
Dupre went full biotch mode when his room mate got canned. Dude plays exactly like Brandon Coleman.

Similar things were said about Bowe and Lafell. I get it. Dupre still needs to get his act together. Plenty of time to improve.

Please do not compare ODell to Dupre...
Look we all want Dupre to do great but the fact is he is not doing well right now Odell's different player he's faster quicker and he's always had hands of Steel to go out and snatch the ball... I did not see that from Dupree not even close

OBJ would at least "fight" for possession. I agree OBJ had a case of the drops but he didnt lose the battle against smaller DBs like Dupre has. Dupre doesnt have a talent problem. Its a chest problem.

Odell was only in his second year in 2012, and was one of the best players on the team. Dupre is in his third year with the team and may lose playing time. The two situations are not comparable.

He, like Harris, has all the physical tools necessary to dominate but has not shown to have the mentality on game day to do so.

I agree that some are too vocal about criticizing him. BUT, it is obvious that he is struggling and it has HURT THE TEAM. Etling game him chance after chance last night (or should I say CC). if he keeps getting beat by DB's and not hauling catchable passes in, HE WILL BE REPLACED. or our QB will simply not look for him.

I pissed and moaned about Dupre not getting balls thrown his way!Well after last night I'm done!!He dropped one that I know of right in his hands.i hope he does well but as of now he is an average receiver.

Beckham Jr was a beast as a Junior though..
Posted on 9/11/16 at 9:29 am to PhillyFan1994
i agree dupre has been mediocre but he's got time to turn this around. hopefully he's motivated more!
Posted on 9/11/16 at 10:11 am to PhillyFan1994
Does he need contacts Ike Bowe?
Posted on 9/11/16 at 10:15 am to PhillyFan1994
He need.s to get it together,because at this point he is overrated
Posted on 9/11/16 at 10:18 am to PhillyFan1994
Beckham went after the ball. He had drops but he wanted to make plays. Dupree doesn't know how to be aggressive. He wasn't a true receiver when we brought him in and maybe he won't be. I'd rather see more Chark and other guys who have shown ability to make plays when given the chance. We have too many guys to keep playing the ones who aren't getting it done.

Beckham got bashed for fumbling a punt against Georgia and fumbling against Florida, in what was a great play by the safety Elam. Also, there was a fierce and unnecessary rant competition between Beckham and Landry although they were completely different receivers.
Dupre might be on Jerell Myers' level...maybe......certainly not near Reed, Clayton, Beckham, Landry, Bowe, Lafell, Wendell or Buster Davis. He's got a long way to go to even be a consistent part of our offense. He still looks like a raw high school football player.

Dupre is a junior playing like a freshman. I still think he can have success here but the light needs to come on quick

Tyron Johnson would've caught both of those balls last night. Really wish he hadn't transferred.
Posted on 9/11/16 at 12:18 pm to PhillyFan1994
So LSU fans should go and catch for him? He is useful for lSU if he does well now not in NFL.
Posted on 9/11/16 at 12:26 pm to PhillyFan1994
Dupre was dropping Harris' passes also!

Downvote #100. 
He's dropping passes. Sorry we don't like it when he drops passes. I'm sure he'll be fine but let's call a spade a spade. He's had a bad 2 games. Doesn't mean we hate him. Chill. Yet another poster who thinks their bitching about other posters makes them one of the "good" fans.
