TJ just does not have the mental acuity to play QB in the SEC.

Good luck to him. Sorry it did not work out for him at LSU.

Another failure of the evaluation process for QBs. TJ was heavily recruited and written about because of his measurables. He was never a good QUARTERBACK.

He completed 47% of his passes as a junior AND WAS PICKED FOR THE ELITE 11?!?!?

He did slightly better as a senior at 54%.

Who the hell thinks this guy was an SEC caliber QB?

Because of his size, everyone assumed he could be molded. But the fact is, evaluating QBs is as far removed from measurables as any other position on the field.

He picked up his degree already. Pretty good. I wish him the best of luck.

And to the poster commenting on his "mental acuity": Being a good QB has very little to do with intelligence. There have been some pretty dumb QB's in the NFL.

Dude is the most entitled shitty QB that I have ever seen. Dude fricking sucked arse at LSU and his parents had the audacity to ask Orgeron for Finley not to room with anyone and the retard O complied.

Auburn is a dumpster fire. Maybe he wants to go somewhere that’s positive

The kid a has a degree that he didn’t have to pay a dime for. I think that’s pretty good.

I think there could be some real money in the "social media transfer apology manager" business. "I will never forget the heartfelt memories I've made here."

lol right.

Interesting look into the mentality of some of the LSU fanbase that focus on failure.

Well he really had no choice but to transfer because he was not going to ever sniff the starter role again after he had his opportunity...

TJ has done better than I thought he would. Started for two SEC West teams.

I mean didn't he get a degree? It's a win for him and his family. Everyone not going to NFL even at LSU.

What a shame. TJ had as good an arm coming out of HS as I've ever seen.

He should just transfer back to LSU and play WR or TE

Best of luck to him.

Hope he's able to find a place where he can contribute.

He looked pretty darn good vs USCe in '20.
