re: Byrd throws QBS under the bus

Hell, Lee cost him big bucks.

Actually, RP cost him money because if he knew RP would not be at LSU he probably would have left for the draft last year.

You could honestly make the case that Byrd cost us the Alabama game with his bobble of what should have been a catch in the first half. He batted the ball up because he heard the footsteps and it ended up getting picked resulting in 7 for Bama. We lost by 6.

Byrd is a front runner. It was obvious he quit on the team last year. It is stupid to throw freshman quarterbacks under the bus. Does he think the NFL scouts don't recognize who the quarterbacks are? Does he think they don't watch film?

it was still a terrible pass, but he shouldn't have knocked it up

Look at what he did with just an above average QB in Flynn.

and some effort.

You are trying to justify him running half-arse routes. No one disputes he was frustrated with the QB play, as I'm sure most of the players were.

How you handle a little adversity speaks volume about character. We saw what he has when times are tough.

i don't remember him half assing routes, the majority of his routes were strait down the feild.

if he quit, he sure didn't show it blocking wise b/c i thought he did a good job of that all year.

regardless i said it during the year and still say it.
he is 6'3", runs a 4.3 and we never utilized his assests all year.

JPW is not a good QB, but when he didn't know what to do, he threw it up to Julio.
when JL didn't know what to do, he shite on himself. he could have thrown into single coverage down the field, or no coverage down the field to Byrd all year but he never did.

if he throws into single coverage to Byrd and it's intercepted, no one gets upset with him b/c it's more the recievers fault usually.

dude is not 6'3", read combine stats man before you go and print false shite.

It wasn't a terrible pass for a good receiver. Clayton would have made that catch 90% of the time.

After reading the majority of these posts couple things are evident.

1) there is about a 60-40 split here. ... the 60 representing the people that think DB should keep his mouth shut and that he's full of shite, had attitude and effort problems.
2) the rest think its JL's fault, with about half of those idiots seeing this as another opportunity to slam JL.

Bottom line is JL was a fresh. BD was a SR.
DB showed NO FUKING LEADERSHIP last yr at all, however that is often typical of JRCOllege transfers.
Dont kid yourself or let your admiriation of him blind you,, he didnt.
He shouldve been picking JL up and encouraging him when he struggled. THats what leaders do. Not pout like a kid and shut it down.

I said it once already and Ill say it again.
Im glad DB is GONE and frankly I couldnt care less what he does or if does the NFL.
