Gonna be tough to see the field at WR this year



This, Palmer looks like a great prospect but if we return every WR he's going to be really far behind for at least next season.

I think he will play sparingly, but play. You know how we didn't really have anyone on offense this year that was truly electric? So we tried to force it with Kirklin but it never worked?

That's Palmer next year. Instead of a DB trying to be a WR, we will have an actual WR.

If he doesn’t want to redshirt, I vote kickoff and punt return. Save Stingley for D to keep him healthy

Stingley might be the best punt returner we ever get, no way he's not returning punts next year. That's saying something because we've had some great ones.

Palmer walks in and is immediately one of the top 4 receivers on roster! Kid has major skills...cant teach speed and has the ability to get open

I would love for Palmer to return punts. Will he enroll early?

Kid looks really skinny. May need a year to put some meat on his bones.

His speed may play a factor, but may need a bit of conditioning. Especially with the guys they have coming back.

I guess i have higher expectations than everyone here.
Chase has flashed. Marshall has shown nothing yet. He could be good. But nothing on tape shows that yet. So if you are going to count high school potential and two soon to be seniors that are coming off 20 catch 300 yard seasons....sure.....we're stacked.

Chase, Sullivan, Jefferson and Dillon only get better.

We are not Alabama. But this is not a position of weakness in 2019

Bruh....

Jefferson, Marshall, Chase will be penciled in as starters next year. We return our entire WR corps sans one walk-on.

Punt returner I hope



Derek Stingley Jr. will be electrifying LSU fans for the next 3 years as punt returner.

I'm not sure he'll be ready...just a frosh.

Better throw Giles back there again, just to be safe.

Play in 4 games, redshirt, then 3rd best receiver on the team in his redshirt freshman season.

And we'll have Pettigrew and Moss hopefully playing that pass catching TE role.

If we aren't VASTLY improved on offense next year, then that is a fricking travesty.

Three foot surgeries. I'm not holding my breath. In fact, I won't be surprised if he's not on the team next year.

I can't imagine a scenario where we're not exponentially better. We return basically everyone from an offense that showed great potential at times.

Terrace Marshall role at first. Plays a ton. Catches passes here and there.... then, game 5, he switches to JaMarr Chase/Justin Jeff level, explodes and starts becoming the 2nd leading wr behind Chase (jmho). Could be an elite return man too, so I've heard! Just can't wait to see him in purple and gold!

Unfortunately, I can.

This is LSU we're talking about.

The main thing giving me optimism is Joe Burrow having another year in this system though. Hopefully we can protect him next year and maybe have more looks on offense to keep the defenses guessing a bit and not teeing off on our QB.

You think i didnt watch the Fiesta Bowl? lol

You then include a depth chart for WR that includes Giles/Dillon/Sullivan/Netherly and a RB. Look those guys are what they are. But they do not lead to us being "Loaded".

We arent loaded.
