I feel bad for Anthony Jennings

the young man is a class act and he repped LSU with dignity. the computer thing is something that could have happened to anyone; remember someone stole HIS computer not vice versa.
competition is a tough lesson but a necessary one. it's true in life as well. I hope Mr. Jennings lands in a good spot, gets his college degree and becomes successful at whatever he does in life.
I, for one, am glad he came to LSU even if it didn't end the way he would like.
THANKS FOR BEING A TIGER ANTHONY!!!!!

He lost a lot of my respect with his little Twitter quips towards the end of the season.

I don't think most people would have chosen to take the law into their own hands, form a makeshift posse with friends, and try to confront the perpetrator directly.

What he say?

He had his time to shine on the field that would have offset any indiscretions and he did not get it done.
Now he is behind Harris and Etling, time for him to go.

In my mind, I just don't couch it like that. "Taking the law into his own hands," to me would've meant revenge, but he just got his property back from a thief. Shouldn't have done it that way, but it doesn't bother me.
As a player, there was a lot left to be desired, but dude was cool as a cucumber under pressure. I wish him the best, wherever he goes.

He's supposed to graduate from LSU in the summer.

Happy that he's going to be able to graduate from LSU.
Really hoping that he ends up in a place where he can start and make an impact.

If someone stole your property, you knew where it was, and felt you could get it back, you wouldn't consider doing the same thing?
It's not like he hurt anyone in the process. He made a goof, but he didn't do anything wrong morally really. The right decision was made when the charges were dropped.

Honestly, I am pretty disappointed in Jennings. When he was recruited, I really thought he was an SEC-caliber talent, but he just didn't turn out that way. He held the ball too long and when he let it go, he threw up rainbows.
I'm sure he's a good guy, and I don't hold the computer thing against him. But plenty of good guys get processed from this team every year. Not sure what is so special about Jennings, in particular. What about Trey Quinn or Kevin Spears? Why not feel bad for them? How about Michael Patterson or Russell Gage, both of whom switched positions this Spring in an effort to contribute? Do you feel bad for them? They seem like good guys, too.

At least he got a free education.

I'll never forget his heroics against Arkansas in 2013.

Did you not see the 9000000 page thread when Quinn transferred?

As a 19 year old college student living in the same place Jennings was when the incident occurred, I can say I would have acted almost exactly as Jennings did.

When they did nothing to get it back for him is when he decided to get it back himself, which was wrong to do but somewhat understandable.

Not when I know I'm the poster boy of a school and that my actions are under a constant microscope no.

you damn well know if you knew had your comp back in the day you would go see about it
I think he definitely saw an ugly side of the fan base. I for one wish him well, and glad he tried it here.

the Trey Quinn love I don't get. I am glad he was a tiger, but there are multiple WR spot to compete for a spot and he was younger. It was clear AJ wasn't ever going to see the field again.
Good luck to both of them to be honest
