Bottom line he was given a raw deal, probably given promises that weren't kept (we will give you a shot at QB), and then amazingly 'convinced' that he would make a good WR after his 2nd year in college (meanwhile, he had never played WR in his life, couldn't run a route, and didn't have good hands).
but its crazy to think the #1 dual threat QB couldnt go elsewhere and get a shot at QB. He wasnt rated as a WR, but as a QB.
RS is another victim of Les Miles poor planning, foresight, and poor player development. Even if he did have some shortcomings at QB which is conceivable as a young player, why not get him some development from a quality coach, instead of the idiot Crowton who wouldn't even come down on the field to coach the players?

UT'tards have said we lied to him about being a QB. He probably would have gone there, but they weren't sold on him as a college QB. In hindsight, either rs him and transition him to a new position or he should have gone some where else with an offense more suited to his style as a QB(Oregon, WVU under RichRod)

Have you seen RS throw a pass? Go back and watch his highlights, and his all-american game with Barkley.
He was given a shot, and moved to WR.

I can say this with certainty, as it came from someone that spoke directly to RS father. RS was leaning to UT. Mac Brown told him he would not play QB. When he met with Miles, he was told he was being recruited as a QB and would be "competing" for that position. That is the reason he chose LSU. What happened after he arrived, I don't know.
