I just think the playmakers on offense, they didn't really have a chance to make no plays. That's the big thing that bothers me. I feel like I could have done more to help the team move the ball, Russell Shepard feels the same way, Rueben Randle feels the same way, our other receivers feel the same way. That's the main thing, that we didn't have the opportunity."

Peterson, 23, is in town for the Senior Bowl and he hopes neither that last disastrous outing nor a career in which he feels LSU under-utilized his talents will keep him from his dream.

"My main thing is I want to show people what I couldn't show them at LSU: that I can catch the ball, I can run routes, also that I can block," he said. "That's the main thing I'm really focused on, to show people what I can do that I couldn't show at LSU."

Sorry, Deangelo. We had QB issues most of your time here.

i have been saying for two years that d.p. will go down as the best tightend in lsu history only to be dissappointed that we didn't use him.

DP could have been used so much more as just a big target in the middle of the field

I do think he could have made a better play on Lee's 2nd interception at Bama, which was a bad pass

News flash DP, we could not get the ball to anyone, it had nothing to do with you!

He certainly showed flashes at times but also left a lot of plays on the field as well.

Newsflash DP: No one in the NFL wants to hear a TE call out his offense.

I agree with him totally and feel sorry for those players. Miles and his hard headedness handcuffed our playmakers abilities.

Meanwhile, JJ continues to live under the delusion that he's the greatest QB in LSU history.

He even changed positions to TE based on the coaches recommendations and summarily was shut out of the offense. Talk about taking one for the team, no wonder the guy is upset. I don't blame him.

That statement is pretty classy considering what he could have said.

Some of the lack of production from DP has to go on him too. Even with Lee at QB DP did nothing memorable this season.

He was over used as it was. By the end of most games he was so cramped up he couldn't play.

Even though we share many of the same thoughts on the BCSNCG, I wish his desire to show people he can block would have been on display more in his time at LSU.

Obviously, we didn't ask him to catch many balls, but route running and blocking should have been on full display. And I'm sure the people paid to see such things have an ample supply to choose from.

It's not what I do for a living, but as an over-indulged hobby, I can tell you he better show immaculate hands, or serious improvement in the other categories, to get what he feels is deserved.

Lee is not a perfect qb. While I felt that Lee was better for this offense that Jefferson, I also realize that Lee had issues seeing the field as well. It's sad that the receivers that we had never got a chance to make an impact.
