By the way for some perspective on if he "sucks" or not:

Here are our top 3 receivers by yardage last year.

Jarvis Landry 13-1 56 573 10.2 5 33 44.1
Odell Beckham, Jr. 13-12 43 713 16.6 2 56 54.8
Kadron Boone 13-7 26 348 13.4 4 34 26.8

He would have finished 100 yards behind our second guy.

He was also the third leading receiver for Bama behind Amari Cooper and Norwood. He was 6th in Receptions though. Big play guy.

that's not saying much considering our passing game last year. Alabama actually has a pretty decent passing game that we are just now hopefully developing. The idea that you have to spread the D out in order to run the ball.

his 17 receptions would put him 6th on our team last year and likely far fewer yards in our offense last year and previous years.

Big play guy, as I edited.

Lots of those types.

You have your studs. You have your possession guys. Then you have that guy who catches maybe 1 or 2 a game (or none) but houses it.

He was that guy.

he kinda reminded me of bennie brazell.

I only remembered him steaking down the sideline on go routes. bell was lean, tall, and pretty fast too. Not a top option though.

He probably wore his welcome out there. Thats one player that LSU did good to avoid.

This. Sure, I wouldn't have minded him playing for LSU one bit, but people pretending that things would be different for him if he'd have stayed home are a little off.

Looks like he graduated. No shame in leaving.

also no shame in getting processed. Opens up another scholly plus he already has his degree apparently. It's for the good of the program.

Really? Saben? Ok. also, how does one get processed during the season? That's usually something that happens before fall camp.

I'm sure some Bama alum will give him a job in the state of Alabama since some LSU fans (definitely not all) make it clear that if a LA kid leaves LA to play at Bama that he's not welcomed back.

Not at all. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of SOME LSU posters - not all. There are tons of good LSU posters, but there are some that need to be called out from time to time for the off base things they post.
