They’re professionals now, it comes with the territory. They deserve to be booed for the lack of effort and poor results.

You don't need to play a tight end. The offense has been more productive with him not on the field. So this is not an accurate comment.


They need an extra blocker to help in the run and pass game. He's the best option for that, even if he misses half of his blocks.

We have no fullback.

When these players take large payouts, they become fair game too.

Pre NIL, yes fans should never bash a college kid. But now with NIL….if Nuss is going to make $2.1M this year he is fair game. College Sports is now paid athletes.

The coaches don't fumble, and throw interceptions and miss field goals.

These are not college kids any more…they are highly paid semi pro players. When they suck we can say they suck…and they suck!

Players are making a ton of money now.

They asked to be paid like adults, we can treat them like adults.

We're not getting what we're paying for out of our key players.

Nah, they all suck. I saw the guy wearing #7 make a business decision on the goal line.

No, players are professionals now. They get paid also. They are no different than NFL players. If they don’t want the criticism then they should not take the money

The coaches deserve their blame… But, they aren’t the ones missing blocks, tackles, dropping passes, fumbling the ball, throwing interceptions, etc

They are being paid very well and are professionals. In the past, I was very against criticizing players at LSU. Not anymore, they deserve their accountability and blame.
