and they should take a flier on him because he caused turnovers in college? Would you if your job was on the line for that pick and you weren't an LSU fan?



The teams that are going to pick him aren't taking him in the first round so money isn't an issue. He will go in the 3-5 round and with his instincts on the football field he's a good gamble. If you told me I could get a pure playmaker with ability to play DB and ST (he was a great gunner and returner with very sure hands), who was a heisman finalist, in the 4th round, I would jump all over that pick. Pay him a minimal contract and force him to prove himself during that first contract. It would be a steal. It's the kind of move the Patriots make all the time.

THIS. What exactly has the guy done besides smoke weed?

I know it's stupid that he wouldn't stop, but frick you guys act like he's going all Cecil Collins or something.

I've never quite understood why so many LSU fans are pulling against him and JR right now.



You're right, smoking weed isn't that bad, but you have to be a real moron to get caught so many times like Tyrann.

Huh? Look at it this way, it's ok to shoot a pistol in the right environment, but you can't do it hanging out of a sunroof with a whiskey bottle in your hand and circle the White House.



we should look at TM7 smoking pot the same way as someone free unloading a firearm in a public area around the white house

Although I expect Goodell will send out a memo warning teams "about character", Mathieu on the field was a consummate player. Just take his measurables (height, weight, speed) and balance that with plays he had no business making, and he has to be up in the Jerry Rice range of maximizing potential.

Someone will take a chance

No way Mathieu even comes close to Polamalu. He is not similar. Polamalu has 25 lbs on TM. Troy hits like a linebacker and can run like a safety. Mathieu is a special teams player and back up corner in the NFL. Polamalu is a pro-bowler.

what a dumb statement.

2x Super Bowl winner, hall of famer, multiple all-pro seasons, defensive MVP, and he's a reason they made the Super Bowl in 2009 (which they won) with his pick 6 at the end of the AFC Championship game.

Saints could REALLY use a playmaker on defense...but, I don't seem them taking that chance.

I hope not, because staying in New Orleans is the last thing Mathieu needs.

Kid's his own worst enemy. His best shot at pulling his shite together is his making a clean break from old influences, which means he'd better hope he's drafted somewhere far away from south Louisiana.

How many collge football players did not smoke pot or get drunk while in college? How many of these did it in High school too?

Hopefully, when they get outta college they grow up. If not, then they will not be in "the league" long, if at all.
