You're missing that he's never played the position before. Say hello to Russell Shepherd.

Why does this topic need to be discussed? The kid can't contribute at QB. He knows that. So he swapped to WR so maybe he can see the field at some point. Maybe. It's just a shot. Doesn't mean he's good. Doesn't mean he's bad.

Do we even know how mobile Bolden is?
I am assuming that you do because of all the practices you have attended, so clue us in.

would u have said the same if Stephen Rivers got moved to reciever? I mean his 6'8 220 shouldnt he be able to dominate Dbs too? or is there some other factor involved cuz last time i checked pocket passers cant move to reciever.
Bolden was a dual-trheat quarterback. Rivers is a pro-style quarterback.
Bolden ran a 4.5 in the 40 and was the #2 ranked dual-threat QB in the country. Rivers best time is a 4.82.
This isn't a black/white issue. It's a 4-star, #2 ranked DT QB who ran a 4.5 vs. a 3-star, #19 ranked PS QB who ran a 4.8.

u dont think i looked at tht cmon bruh get real honestly do u know how inaccurate that is. U obviously dont know much abt football. Look at the times at the combine of players, and go read how much "faster" there high school times were. Gotta do better and once again your obviously still missing the point

Yes, Rivals 40 yd. dash numbers are typically embellished. For the sake of argument, let's say he actually runs/ran a 4.7 instead of a 4.5 40. That's still fast for a dude that is 6'4" 200 lbs. with 35" vertical. Again, not saying this will necessarily translate to him being a serviceable WR, but people aren't just assuming he's athletic because he's black as you're implying. He actually is a good athlete. Was not a good QB at Penn State, but you can't deny he's a good athlete with good size.

also, what point are you trying to make? maybe 2 ppl in this thread have said definitively he'd be a good WR (and I think the OP was the only one who said "beast").
you might've had a better time in one of the threads that suggested he move to WR way before it was actually done. or the one that put him at RB. but now that the coaches have actually moved him there, I guess it stands to reason that ppl with a pretty good handle on these things think he can actually play there. even if it's just as a camp body.

No, burh, I don't you looked at any of it. You talked about Bolden as a pocket passer who ran a 4.9. Then you compared Bolden to Rivers. Rivers is a pocket passer who runs a 4.9. Bolden is not, not even close.
Bolden was the #2 ranked dual-threat quarterback.
Sure, high school 40 times are inaccurate, but the inaccuracy is somewhat consistent. Rivals lists Malachi Dupre at 4.6 and Bolden at 4.5. NFLSDraftScout lists Bolden's best at 4.48 and Rivers' best at 4.82. Rivals doesn't even give Rivers' 40 time.
Is Bolden as fast as Dupre? I don't know, but I bet it's close. It's almost certainly closer between Bolden and Dupre than Bolden and Rivers.

Well I'm not saying he shouldn't move to wr. I'd do the same I were him. I'm just saying someone who spent a lot of time in the pocket and is not very fast and agile may have a hard time adjusting to that. He might be a little to green this late in the game. I hope he does well though.
Posted on 3/21/14 at 9:22 am to Mshargois3
I hope he does run a 4.7 though. I wish him the best of luck I have nothing against him if it sounds like I do.

So the consensus seems to be Bolden could see some PT this year at WR, but no one expects him to break out. I opened this thread, and as you can see, I hardly post to the Rant. But I do read it often. As a die-hard, purple-and-gold-bleeding Tiger fan in Colorado (where there are precious few of us), I live by the Rant for the inside scoop on my Tigers. Almost always, y'all get it right, along with many entertaining and amusing posts. Thanks!

Bolden can look like Kim Kardashian and he won't play much, although the WRs are struggling right now. There is going to be a big dropoff this year from the Beckham-Landry performances. LSU will go back to the running game-defense formula next year.

The receivers are struggling NOW! that doesn't they won't come on as the spring/summer progress. Jesus, how can these people jump to such idiotic conclusions!!

I guess I am the only one who trusts Cam Cameron to fix whatever deficiencies there are over the course of the offseason. Now I am not saying that the offense will be just as good as last year but I also don't expect some huge drop off either.
Didn't Landry and Beckham have issues with drops the previous year? They got better over the offseason and even more so as the season progressed.

Im still curious as to why they felt Bolden couldn't play QB. Arm strength? Decision-making?

I agree for the most part. All we really need is a legitimate deep pass threat and we should field a pretty impressive offense this season. Our coaching staff has time to iron the bumps out and I believe they will. Sure things will look different without the ZM to OBJ/JL highlight show but I still expect to see a very good offense on the field.
This fan base clearly suffers from some PTSD issues
