re: Anybody else think Key should be benched?

All he needs to do is look at Sam Montgomery. He was great as a sophomore and was expected to be a high draft pick. He proceeded to basically take his junior year off. His draft status plunged and he never regained form and washed out of the NFL very quickly.

Montgomery was 1st team all sec his last year at LSU. His numbers were nearly identical to his 2011 season. He had 13.5 TFL in 2011 and 13 in 2012. He had 9 sacks in 2011 and 8 in 2012. He just didn't have the size to play DE or the speed and quickness to play OLB in the NFL. But this notion that he coasted his last year here is a farce.

Mingo's production, however, was cut in half. He had 15 TFL and 8 sacks in 2011 compared to 8.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks in 2012. But he was an athletic freak, so he was a top 5 draft pick regardless, albeit an eventual bust.
