You've gotten multiple people saying JaMarcus Russell - who to be sure has not been an NFL superstar, but by your stated criteria (Les Miles era, performed well in college) fits the bill. Guy was the #1 QB in America his last year here and drafted #1 overall. You didn't even reply to it. Didn't reply to Stevan Ridley being suggested, either.

shite, the only clarification we've gotten at all was that Rueben Randle was good, but not good enough for your criteria. So whoever it is has to have outdone Randle, which knocks out a lot of LSU's players.

I'm going with JaMarcus Russell (2006 if you want a specific season) as the first option. Not sure anyone else really outdid Randle so completely to be a "superstar" and not Randle.

Russell was not a Les Miles recruited player, and was badly utilized under Miles. Gotta love that UT game, the dipshit TO, the excruciating loss (subject of another good question - what are LSU's most excruciating losses in the last 30 years? Who was coach? Hmmmm.) Randle was solid, but never the star that Hilliard, Hodson, Kennison , Faulk or even Collins ever were.

I think you know what I'm getting at, and I think you know I'm right.

As to the above, Miles is a "defensive coach?" LOLfrickINGWUT? Lester's (wrongfully formerly indulged) idea of defensive football was 2 fricking retards who couldn't even learn their own signals. Let that sink in.

We are where we're supposed to be - good but not too good. Enjoy not being 2-9, but the point of all sport is to at least try to reach the pinnacle (by which I mean #1 in case you still have no idea what I'm talking about), and we will not get there under this guy.

And you idiots just gave him a huge extension.

Again, you deserve it, but I'm not going to get real excited about something for which I already know the outcome. It and he take the fun out of it, and I mean every syllable of that.
