re: Andrew Hatch: How Soon We Forget the First Half of the Year

quote:

---

but he didn't throw any interceptions.

appy state dropped like 3

and he didn't throw picks because he barely threw when he played, which was mostly early against a horrible early schedule

if he had to play as a starter against UF, UGA, USC, etc, he would have thrown his fair share

and he didn't really make any big plays throwing either. hell we had to run gimmick plays for him to throw TDs

dude

go read the threads about lafell going pro

i say plenty of positive things about LSU players constantly

but i can't stand when players become overrated and some sort of legend when they weren't that good

i appreciate hatch's effort, but it's better for all involved that he take his services to a much lower division

The problem with Hatch was that he had little physical potential. Typical to try and revise history when a good kid leaves/transfers. Great kid to have in the program. Wish him the best. Would like to see him stay. BUT, he is/never was an SEC qb, and the time in the spring and fall that he took snaps away from Lee and Jefferson is the real reason for the quarterback problems we had throughout the year. If Jefferson had been taking meaningful practice and game snaps from the start, he may have been recognized as the starter before we had 4 losses.

Jesus, how do we get by with those morons we have for coaches? And how stupid are we to let them coach when we have folks like you who not only possess mad coaching skills, but who, notwithstanding your distance from the day-to-day occurrences in practices and team meetings, are in possession of complete imformation about the preparedness and ability of each and every player. It's astonishing we can even manage to field a team, much less win games.

In the end it doesn't matter a hill of SFP crap if Hatch was an All-SEC performer or total flop. All that matters is that #1, he was a Tiger and #2, he did the best he was capable of with class and dignity and suffered considerable physical pain in doing so.
He's the type of kid that typifies what sports should be about-someone who puts his team above himself and gives his all to help the team succeed.
I'm glad he was here and wish him the best for his future.
Thanks, Andrew!

Mommy didn't put enough sugar on her baby's cereal this morning?

Had this young man been healthy, JL would have had the opportunity to develope. His injury was devestating to LSU in more ways that one.

its all hindsight. hatch had more experience and at the time should have started. he did what he could while he was here. when he played the offense wasnt explosive, but it was consistent. thats something we didnt have without him. maybe if he didnt play or as much early things would be different, but not neccicarilly for the better. at this point hatch has transfered 3 times. he went to harvard. the dude is obviously smart. hes probably best off focusing on his academics and landing some bomb arse job where he can make some serious $$$ because we all know he wont be making it in the NFL. thanks for your time here and good luck wherever you end up
