Lol dude I recognized that guy’s username from that other thread and went to check to make sure it was the same guy but he’s now deleted the other comment (pertaining to ricks). Clown

so he's headed to gainesville where the QB E. Jones barely threw any forward passes. Yeah that was a great move

Arik coming back??
Willing to listen to a sincere apology, admit he was wrong, we might be able to work out a spot for him.


He only left because he thought we were on the way to a shitty offense for the future ,as well as we were LOSING & he was a rat off a sinking ship .The only reason he's back is the apparent home run hire of OC . It damned sure has nothing to do w/TEAM. I doubt it's in his vocabulary. As far as I'm concerned he's a worthless assed front runner. If the team wants him back, so be it. I'll never look at him in the same light.

Who gives shite how anyone on the rant views him, as long as the coaches and team accept him back and he contributes, more power to him

He has the type of talent where you take him back.

Everyone is talking shite, and they don't realize that part of the selling point coming to LSU was getting this kid to the NFL. If he was promised something and he walked into a team that wasn't going to get him there I understand. LSU isn't exactly known for our TEs in the NFL. We have made great hires and he will thrive in our system. The QBs will eat too. I'm all for it.

The coaches will take him back in a heartbeat. I don't blame them one bit, he's a very special talent. But it has to sting at just a little (maybe a lot) if you are supposed to be playing beside him. One team, One heartbeat would then ring very hollow.



Fk him....he tried to play us....he can pound sand for all i care

Who was the leading receiver on the team, when he left?
Its up to him to perform and make the NFL. Burrow was nothing until he performed on the field.
We have the offensive coaches, the QBs, and a veteran OL. The table is set. Its up to him.
If he goes to Florida, Cole Taylor will probably have more receptions.

He’s got a ton of talent but if he is willing to risk his opportunity here, he doesn’t really want to be here.

Congrats you are officially the most negative poster I have seen on this website. It must be tough to live like that. I mean I've never seen you say anything uplifting ,congratulatory ,or come to think about it, I've never seen you post anything neutral even,its literally always negative or at least in a negative tone.

Btw Rick's is supposedly dealing with some off the field issues and he has looked around ,but hasnt seriously attempted to reach out to other teams. Hes just thought what if..that's according to shea or brooks ,I forgot which.

So ,I've had very reliable people tell me that its known around campus and that all the players know that he was hospitalized for mental issues ,that's why he sat out and why he was thinking about leaving. They say that hes trying to figure out if living here is hurting his mental health or if it will be the same anywhere. Hes getting much better so that's why he may ne back.

So if that's 100% true ,do you still say frick him? Are you the type that thinks mental instability just means not tough enough? If so, I'd advise changing your way of thinking and have some empathy

Certainly people take his leaving way to personally and responses here are generally over the top. However, O didn't help perception with the comment about him leaving "because his body hurt".

Ed O's tact in situations like these is the worst in the country.

That is a little exaggerated but saying, "he's dealing with some off the field personal issues" would have been a better way to present it to the media. He's 19, extremely talented, everyone fawned all over him so now he's trying to figure it out. I don't know about the rest of the rant but I didn't have shite figured out when I was his age and I didn't have nearly as many options.

Truth! Kid has an illness that he cannot control at times. Judge less and try to understand a little more.

If hes that mentally unbalanced....he needs to go home. My question if we knew this kid was unstable before we recruited him....WTF over?
