At this point, dignity.

Look, I'm happy for the time the guy has spent here, but my God has a player ever checked out as much as he has in the past year? Takes off spring, summer, fall practice, comes back 3 games into the season and looks terrible, put on a boatload of bad weight. Finally starts to look like his old self midway through our schedule, then doesn't play in the last 2 games this year because of a finger/hand injury?...and now, even though he may be plenty healthy enough to play in the bowl game, might skip that too.

If I'm an NFL franchise I'm not spending a 1st round pick on him, way too much of a risk.

Edit - and if I'm Coach O I'm saying you could certainly stand to gain a lot to come back and give 100% effort for a full year to move your way back up to being a Top 10/15 type pick in the draft.

That's the spirit. Players are soon going to have 1 good season in college football and then shut it down for the rest of their time until they're drafted, and it's fans like this that will give them a pass.

And here's the problem. Unfortunately, it seems Key has the same mentality as you. You play for personal pride, you play for your team and you play because LSU gave you a free ficking ride through college to play!

His team? His teammates?
What happened to that?

just dumb.

#1 - Pride / Dignity
#2 - $$$$
#3 - Challenge of going against what is likely the 2nd rated tackle in the 2017/2018 draft.
#4 - His team, coaches, and university


seems like plenty of motivation for me.

My answer to this question is: His Teammates, Coaches, and his Pride in being an LSU Fighting Tiger.

Now, he may be hurt, and that would be a legit reason not to play. But only he knows that.

His TEAM maybe??? What if LSU was in the playoffs. TWO more games maybe. Would he play then??? Well, well, couldn't he get hurt? What about the money? Haven't seen any juniors leaving on the other playoff teams. Why??? This is the HOLE in this don't play bull shite. You either play your WHOLE junior year, or you don't play. Enough of this nonsense.
