I don't blame any kid for transferring if it's to get more playing time. College careers go by very fast - and they want to get on the field as much as possible.
I don't care about someone "having the chest" for competition. Guys want to play, and if it's not happening at one school, go somewhere else where chances are better. For every feel-good story about a kid waiting his turn and succeeding his senior year, there's a bunch of others where guys waited and never got on the field.
Go somewhere else and play.

There's no offense intended, but Savion did not excel in the Nickel and if you watched him do it you'd understand that you're actually in the wrong here.
He's an edge corner. He doesn't play well in the slot and many others-along with Savion-evidently don't see that changing. I disagree with the idea that he'd play alot because if you aren't productive where they put you then you will see your PT impacted.
So no, PT is the complaint. Your tack-intentional or not-is to reframe the debate. This is almost assuredly about PT. He doesn't need to play in the slot in college to position himself as a professional. Unfortunately, LSU needs him to play there and/or requires him to do so if he wants to play.
If he doesn't excel there, then he won't play. Thereby invalidating your stance that it isn't a PT issue. It's absolutely a PT issue.
