Don't understand the criticism


Let me help you out, and all the other posters with their heads in the sand.

LSU nearly doubles the rest of college football with early entrees to the NFL in the last two seasons. LSU has not finished in the top 10 in the final poll either of the last two seasons. The perception is that either LSU players overvalue their ability, or that they are that talented, but they are not coached well in college.

Sorry guys, but that is the perception around the country. It is NOT a good image to have. Win the titles, and there won't be any ridicule.

People still saying this are just stupid. We have 16 guys leave early over the last two years. Everyone that keeps throwing out that number count Mathieu and Wing who were both kicked off the team. So really we have had 14 players leave early the last two years. Bama has had 9. 14-9 is not close to being double.

Plus about half of our guys that left "early" were here for four years anyway.

People still going off about this are seriously stupid.

Stupid post is stupid! Three years ago we were in the natty. Our last three records were...

13-1
10-3
10-3

All in the toughest division of the toughest conference in football. AND with a patently unfair "bridge" schedule made by a Bammer! BOOM!!!

False. Not even close.

tNFL has arguably the best talent scouts at their disposal. Those are the guys who decide who is draft-worthy or not. Now granted, a few of our players made poor choices last year, and a few may wash out of this crop as well, but that's on them for maybe taking things for granted and not continuing to do the things that got them in that position to begin with...ie thinking they could just show up.

Except for the recruits who come here and the many NFL teams that hire them, you mean.

A split title and a 2 loss champion. You are wrong. We get ridiculed even when we win.

Teams that recruit in the top 25 should expect to have that many leave for NFL. Your math is just dumb if you compare LSU's numbers vs rest of college football.

Do you have numbers for the top 25 recruiting classes for the past 5 years. That would be a stating point.

Also, provide reference to the data you are using. Otherwise the numbers are right out of your wazoo to make your assertions sound like facts.

Who said that? If it's your interpretation of some article, you are afflicted by rantardism.

Provide three links that prove this perception. LSU is in a relatively small market. Don't expect the attention some major market team garners. Also, don't focus on every negative word someone says.

This is my perception. You read an article that is critical of LSU. You think that everyone is critical.
Nope. There is no ridicule. Certainly there is justifiable criticism.

Let me help you out. As far as wins go, you've watched the most successful 4 year stretch in the history of LSU football. Needless to say a lot of that has to do with talented players. Talented players go to the NFL.

Well, it's not the perception of NFL scouts, GM's, and coaches:

I heard cha-ching (and my fingers turned green) when I posted the above link.

...and that perception isn't founded by their play on the field:

NFL All-Rookie Team...Most in the SEC

So, maybe it's just your perception.
