Maybe. Marginally. Addai was pretty damn good.

I don't think we lack skill position players other than QB's.


You think our WRs stack up to Bowe, Davis, Doucet, and LaFell? I don't.

I think you're overstating the superior athlete depth.


Give some examples, please. Our backup RBs (Williams, Brosette) are average, at best. We only have one viable TE (Moreau). We some potential at WR (Davis, Anderson), I'll give you that, but the younger guys need to step up.

Jacory Washington says hello. And he'll be saying hello to some accolades by season's end. Maybe the best receiving tight end in the last 20 years at LSU. Couldn't possibly thrive in Les' system. Is the absolute perfect fit in Canada's offense. Watch for JW to emerge and cause some mismatch nightmares for defenses.

I assume you realize that Joe Addai is statistically not in the same ball park as Guice. Guice had the 4th best rushing season in LSU history. He had two 250 yard games. He's only 700 yards behind Joe's 4 year career rushing totals after two seasons.

Hard to say about Bowe et al. They played in a more open offense. Bowe and Davis were unknowns after their fresh seasons. LSU's freshman WR class was loaded but we don't know their ceiling. However, they do not lack for talent.

The lack of backfield depth is partially on Miles and the coaching change. How many backs did Miles recruit in his last recruiting cycle? Personally I don't think we had great backs from 2008 until Fournette's arrival. Decent backs but no real headliners.

Believe what you want to believe.
