frick out of here with that excuse. We have the talent to at least compete and not get completely embarrassed two weeks in a row.

This is the least talented group of players I’ve seen at LSU since I can’t remember. I just looked at the receivers from the last 10 years and it’s easily the worst group since 2014. That’s crazy to think about.

LSU hasn’t pumped the league with talent since 2019.

You don't know the roster. That is ok to say. But should also prevent you from making a whiny thread like this.

Lacy being considered “wr1” is the saddest shite for this team with his antics and amount of balls he drops.

The “muh no talent” excuse simply boils down to this. Rantards know the coach almost always is here longer than the player so the player gets the blame. Thats how simple these minds work.

Our top four WRs are transfers. We haven’t recruited the better HS kids.

Just because the least talented players are playing doesn't mean the team doesn't have talent

Or we watch the games and see guys consistently do the wrong thing.

and part of it is in Kelly

we should have better safeties and better guards and a better center by now.

Yeah but I've come to expect this. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say he's dropped 20 past in 2 years

The excuse is used anytime we lose a game no matter the sport. Pretending it’s particular to Kelly or FB isn’t correct. It’s a Rant thing like I said in my original post.

2016-17 LSU offense outside of Fournette was embarrassing for LSU. QB, WR, TE, OL...all very bad. People forget how much Les slipped in his last few years.
