re: Dumb Ryan Clark says Delpit playing the best safety ever at LSU...

Adams was wayyyy better than Chad.

Chad should have been a LB. He was too big. He was really good against the run though.

TM7 is pound for pound the greatest(most impactful player) in LSU history ... the only other argument that could be made is Billy Cannon. You can’t catergorize him as just a safety the same way you couldn’t just catergorize LT as a linebacker.

the last 20 years MAYBE. It could be argued that one Matt Mauck had more impact on LSU football than anyone in the recent years.

With that said had he played more than 1.5 years, he could maybe considered a top 2 as far as dbs. Casanova’s name isn’t on the stadium for no reason dude. It wasnt a fluke the fact that he missed 1/2 his senor season and STILL MADE Aa. He was 6’2 202 lb corner. Yeah bigger than PP7.

there hasn't been a more impactful DB at LSU in decades

I called Delpit the best player on this defense before this season started. In my opinion he’s the best safety LSU has ever had, but Tommy Casanova might be right there with him. There is no way in the world he is as good, or as impactful, as Patrick Peterson or Mathieu. And he will never be. As great as Delpit is these guys are all by themselves.

You’re joking right? And at first I was just speaking to on the field impact, let alone the off the field impact in terms of young middle school and high schoolers who saw him as the coolest football player because of his swagger especially in the social media era. But just on the field, he did things at LSU regularly we really haven’t seen before or since in that magnitude

Adams was only good against the run.

What? No. He almost completely blew the BCS championship game for us.

Jones had more game changing plays than Adams. I’m still shocked how Adams got drafted so high.

Check his pro day 40 time

TM7 was a game changer in ways I've never seen another safety be capable of.

This may not make sense. I would agree with Clark. Mathieu was a Nickle back / hybrid. Totally dif positions. I would venture to say Mathieu is the best gamer ever at lsu regardless of positing. I think delpit and Landry are best safeties over seen at lsu. I would also say Webster and peterson were best cornerbacks.
Mathieu was best defensive back ever at lsu. But not the best cornerback or safety imo.

TM was incredible. But hard to say he was better than peterson as a def back imo. Without question Peterson was better in coverage, TM got beat a lot more. TM was the most incredible big play maker I have ever seen on the defensive side of the ball. So just depends on what you consider better.

Mathieu held his own in coverage, he just had trouble bodying up a big player. He wasn't getting burnt though.

ETA - I mean PP7 was better in coverage, but Mathieu was solid.
