Another way to look at that is Payton is great if he’s got a good line to help. It appears we will.

Remains to be seen how good the line will be. You all get stimulated by the simple addition of players. None of these guys are all that exciting, individually.

The fit that Payton is wearing in that pic is fire. That purple and gold just sticks out when the colors are worn in the right way.
You can tell he thinks he looks clean and " you can na not tellin him nuthin,"--- in my scarface voice.

You think Swinson is better than Payton?

I think they’re comparable players at a minimum, and I saw what peoples did with Swinson who had been a career backup prior to 2024

Id take Swinson back causing havoc in 2025 so who wouldn’t we be excited about Payton replacing him? No brainer

Yeah he’s only the #1 player at his position, nothing to be excited about

Yes Swinson was awesome this past year. He had almost 2x the pressures Payton did

His 2023 numbers were pretty close to what Swinson put up this year. Put him in the right system with People’s developing, and I bet we see something similar to his 2023 year.

Development and a change of scenery tends to make a world of difference for a lot of guys. I’m willing to bet he puts up 50 tackles and 7 sacks.

Yea Fla.ST was a cluster this season.I don`t think anyone on that team
played well. When things go south it affects the whole team.

Well I guess we should have said no to this kid. Why do some people feel the need to shite on every bit of news?

Because this is his MO. He also has Berry as the 5th or 6th best RB in the state, so his opinions are about as useless as the shite my dog took this morning

Says the guy who judges players by how sexually attracted to them he is.

Who gives a frick? This isn’t about how a player compares to another player. Lsu can only use what’s available to fill holes and they’re getting some of the best players available to do just that. That’s the takeaway here. No need to shite all over it just bc Jadeveon Clowney isn’t available.

Surely there is some room for an opinion somewhere in between he is awesome or “we should have said no to him”.

This is my takeaway.

I’m not exactly sure what you are reading otherwise. I haven’t shite on anyone.

Who else do you want them to add? These are the best players in the portal at their positions. Payton and Pyburn are NFL players. And Butler has the athleticism to be with the development of Peoples.

Can you quote something I said that would allude to me saying we shouldn’t sign him or anyone else they have signed?

You said none are exciting. Aka implying none of them are all that good. I’m not sure how much more exciting you want them to be as an NFL caliber player. There’s no Caleb Downs level players in the portal this year. Anybody with any sense knows that this DL will be better than this year’s. And this year’s wasn’t all that bad.

It’s exciting in a sense that these guys are better than what lsu has(tho I wish they could have held a guy like Womack).

LSU’s two best coaches are Peoples & Davis. I look forward to see what they can do but it’s always worth to stay mindful on why these guys are transferring.
