Good lord people....look at players we lost

LSU lost a QB, a RB,and two WRs off the offense last season to the NFL and we replaced each with a true freshman at each position. Then we ask these kids who are barely out of high school to go play 2 Top 10 teams back to back in MSU and Auburn.
On defense you have a Soph at one Tackle and a true freshman at the other tackle spot. Then we have another LB (Beckwith) who is a Soph with almost no experience in the middle.
People this is our team. Where have some of you been the last two years when LSU was losing player after player who wanted to go enter the NFL Draft?
It has taken a huge toll on LSUs depth at key positions and whether you want to blame coaches or whoever the fact is LSU has had a huge attrion of upperclassmen early to the NFL.
This is the same staff on offense which turned out an LSU offense last season which was the #2 most productive LSU offense in LSU history. Now the coaches are supposedly idiots.
LSU is having to rebuild and has talent coming in but it takes time to develop.
LSU will return to its' glory when these kids mature and they rebuild the depth on the team.
It will happen and maybe as soon as next season but this seaon LSU is going to get its' nose bloodied and thats just the way it is. It's going to take patience and blaming the coaching staff is not the answer.

Love it STRIPES. I recall 10 years ago not many people had faith in John Brady, but real Tiger fans like you and me knew that Brady would take LSU to a Final Four, didn't we?

This means nothing to the majority of LSU fans... It's like trying to tell Apple sheep that Android is a better alternative. Their brains cannot process this information

Why did we have to replace them with freshmen?
Where are the 19-21 year olds ready and waiting for their turn?
How does that explain why we are so bad on defense? Oh yeah...

Recruiting and coaching fails explain it. The players we have are not that good.
And spare us this "2 top 10 teams" stuff. A big part of the reason they are ranked so highly is that they beat the pants off of us.

Have you watched the games this year? Getting production out of Mett, Landry, and OBJ isn't proof that the coaches are great.

Your statement doesn't address not playing the best player at every position on every play. Terrance McGhee is not the best running back and Welter is not your best linebacker, and if Godchaux is your best tackle then you have not been recruiting DT.
Enjoy no bowl this year and maybe Chic-Fil-A in 2015. Glad it's your money paying his $4.3 mill salary.

what about 2006 when LSU lost 4 first round draft picks and more to the draft?

We are getting embarrassed, curb stomped, humiliated not competitive.
That's the problem most of us have.

May be the best post I've ever read on this board. I never post, just lurk...but this is spot on Stripes.

why can't Les find a QB for LSU? Only reason Mett was here was because UGA kicked him off the team. QB play cost us the title in 2011, and it's one of the reasons this season is so bad.

LSU should be overloading classes with the expectation that kids will leave in droves every year after their third year out of high school.
Posted on 10/6/14 at 7:42 am to STRIPES
YES SIR!

Whatever happened to the world's greatest recruiter packing the pipeline with talent ready to fill the voids? It still doesn't account for the total implosion and lethargic performance of the program this year. Rest assured this year's excuses will be replaced by another set of excuses next year. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Same church - different pew. Queue the desperate 10 win defenders.

Why is Tennessee able to compete? They play more true freshmen than we do...better coaching? scheme? what?
Posted on 10/6/14 at 8:09 am to STRIPES
It would be a lot easier to accept the young and inexperienced excuse if the team at least looked competitive while on the field. In two SEC games they have looked terrible. Losing is one thing but losing this bad is another. You can't simply blame youth.
Posted on 10/6/14 at 8:12 am to STRIPES
So your okay with a team that gets totally dominated and doesn't look prepared to play? I am okay with losing to top 5 teams but to look like a JV football team is not okay. Louisiana Tech put up a better fight that we did against Auburn.

Hey bro,
I'm done melting, and agree that we should can any personal attacks or unrealistic calls for Miles to be fired. But you guys starting thread after thread making excuses, insulting other fans, and pretending that all is well isn't going to change the fact that this is the worst team fielded by the school in 15 years.
If you didn't expect that to register with the fanbase, I don't know what to tell you.
Posted on 10/6/14 at 8:14 am to STRIPES
While I believe miles to be an average coach, I suspect youth is about 70% of the problem this year. If there is no significant improvement next year Miles will have to go.
Posted on 10/6/14 at 8:14 am to STRIPES
You are right, we'll nver be more talented than we last year.
Clearly last uear was a failure as well then, right?
