this a problem.. lsu brags about sending kids to the pros in 3 years instead of playing lsu football and winning titles..
kids get to lsu and all they are thinking about is the pros and the $$$$ they will make. they are not thinking about winning titles.. they are constantly out of position on defense trying to get on sportscenter and catch the eyes of scouts.
last year for example bama kicked ware, ford, reid, mingo, sam, logan, minter and simons arse in the title game then broke their heart the next season in tiger stadium dont know about you guys, but i would have come back to finish what was started glory and pride of winning a national title at lsu trumps any nfl contract.
stop feeding the 3 and gone bs to these recuits its lsu football the pros will still be there. if lsu would have went 14-0 this year with all those jrs back all of them would have been selected no later than the 3rd round in next years draft.

Yeah, ok.

I think Ridley leaving early (and somewhat unexpectedly) and getting drafted in the 3rd round and then having success had a lot to do with so many of our guys following that same path. I think it will subside a bit over the next couple years. Particularly when we are playing for it all.

Seriously?? The pros might still 'be there', but what if one of these guys suffers a career-ending injury!! The career of an NFL player is short-lived at best.
If their desire is to play in the NFL and the opportunity is presented to them, they should damn well have the right to do so without total condemnation from the 'fans'!
These guys have sacrificed their time, energy, body, and relationships to play on Sunday! Ultimately, they owe the 'fans' nothing! I find it difficult to believe, if you are totally honest, that you would turn down an opportunity of this magnitude!

You say you would but you probably grew up an LSU tiger. Most of these kids did not. Their dreams are to play ball at the NFL level. It's not your business or anyone else's what these kids do with their lives. Stop living vicariously through 18-20 kids and just enjoy LSU. If they go to the league and flame out oh well, it's their choice. Stop trying to fool yourself and think that a national title at LSU means more to these guys than a 6/7 figure contracts. I know that may hurt your poor heart but that's reality bud. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Being out of position is a great way to catch the eyes of scouts.

I don't think it's the message LSU is sending that's causing them to leave or anything LSU is doing wrong. It's the money the players are looking at. The new salary structure and contracts for rookies is also contributing. They are thinking by leaving early they are that much closer to the more lucrative 2nd contract.

Lsu players don't have that competitive fire or team leadership. Take that back Jarvis Landry is the ultimate competitor if LSU had 1 guy on defense with his nuts and guts they would be a whole lot better.

I've figured it out! You're just an idiot who knows nothing about football or the guys who play it ~~ college or pro! Now it all makes sense!

I just don't understand why people insist on spotlighting nothing but the negative with this program.
A lot of have to be completely
Miserable IRL
