Your point is? The Iron Bowl and SEC Championship just confirmed that Auburn rarely passes.

So you think if he goes to Auburn that the NFL won't look at him? Is that what you are saying? That they [NFL scouts] will just gloss over him?

If they run the same offense next year, which they will be because it works, he will have very limited opportunities to showcase his talent to NFL scouts. He will also have to share those few touches with a solid receiver in Sammy Coates. If he comes to LSU, he likely catches 6 balls a game average, with some games having 8-10 catches.

I don't think you understand how good Williams actually is. He doesn't have to worry about sharing the ball with anyone.

In my experience, that is not a good thing.



If that's true, then I would agree.

Isn't it always better for a receiver to go to an offense that throws more? Are you just trying to argue with me for the sake of it? I'm only sharing info. Don't make yourself look like an "imbecile".

Williams won't EXCELL if he goes to auburn because they don't have a qb to consistently get him the ball.

How can you catch passes that aren't thrown? Nobody is saying the NFL won't look at him, but I guarantee being in a conservative offense would hurt his draft stock a bit.

Calvin Johnson had Reggie Ball. Reggie Ball makes JJ look like Steve Young.


Auburn will get the ball to Williams if he goes there.

if he doesn't get the ball as much as he likes, if he goes to auburn, he will probably get kicked out of a couple of games for various reasons.

Reggie Ball was a MUCH better passer than Nick Marshall is

I think the thing here is Williams is announcing this month right? Next week? Something like that. This means he's probably going AU because he's not waiting around to see what Jennings will do in the bowl game. Whether LSU passes just as much or less with Jennings at QB remains to be seen. Since he's not holding off on the decision it leads me to believe he's going to AU.

I wish he would decommit from Auburn the day after they lose the NCG to FSU

Is that when he officially makes his decision? Then I'd have to think he's waiting around to see what LSU has in Jennings. Longer he holds off the better it is for us.

He has been in love with LSU his whole life, we just had two 1,000 yard receivers, and we are about to reel in one of the best classes ever.

I've heard the rumors about the trouble that he might have being in Louisiana, but whose to say that trouble couldn't follow him to Auburn? Is he going to refuse to travel to New Orleans when he reaches the NFL?

Going to LSU sounds like a no brainer for a player like him.
