The way people on this board talk about these kids is absolutely mindboggling. "The way he's acted"?? There's not one of us on here--and certainly not you--that has any idea "how hes acted".
Uuuuuhhhh, actually I have an idea how Heard has acted. Did you not see his quotes about after signing with LSU out of HS? Apparently not. He talked about taking the LT position as a TR FR even though Will Campbell was proving himself. Confidence is one thing...unbridled hutzpah is something else.

You can't POSSIBLY be so smooth-brained as to read those quotes as malicious rather than confident and excited. He wasnt saying "frick will campbell and the current OL, they suck and don't deserve to start". He was saying "I don't care how good my position is, I'm gonna come in and compete and win the job".
First off, what the frick do you want the kid to say? Do you want him to say "I'm not gonna beat out the current starter so I guess I'll get comfortable riding the bench"? This board goes on endlessly about how they want kids who are willing to come in and compete for their job, and how we shouldn't be taking anyone who asks for a guaranteed starting spot--hell, people in *this thread* are lamenting that Heard isn't willing to compete--and yet you hold it against them when they sign their NLI with the mindset that they don't care who their competition is because they're gonna win the job anyway. You can't criticize guys when they go somewhere with less competition then ALSO criticize guys when they express that they're NOT scared of competition.
And second, not only did this board absolutely love it when Heard said that stuff, but the COACHING STAFF loved it when he said that stuff. They raved about that mindset and competitive spirit. And it's exactly the mindset every coach wants: I'm coming in and I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure you can't justify keeping me on the sideline. In fact, if Heard still had that same mindset--the one you're criticizing--he wouldn't be in the portal in the first place.
