The C&D isn't about LSU not being able to issue #5 to another player.

It's about LSU no longer being able to use Jayden's likeness for advertising, promotional, or commercial use.


Does this mean LSU should hold off on any future plans for a statue of JD? I mean you can't get much more NIL than that!!!

Weirdness part is I have 0 association with the #5 and any LSU player.

Hard to compare it to #9 as Burrow lead them to a national championship. Huge difference between this and #5.

The article makes it clear that JD feels he’s equal to Burrow at LSU.

It’s good to see JD getting universally clowned on for this. Even the soys on Reddit say he’s stupid. If everyone who loves to hate LSU are saying you’re stupid, you’re probably pretty stupid.

So the water cooler talk at work this morning with a bunch of guys that are fans of several different programs in the country was a consensus that Jayden Daniels looks like a bitch in this.

These people hate to take Kiffin and LSUs side and even they were defending the actions of the school/coach.

So that's good

That would be a very lane Kiffin thing to do and I’m all for it in this instance.
Put a piece of white loose leave paper, and write Not Jayden Daniels in fat permanent marker, right where the plaque goes. Now that would be a Lane Kiffin thing to do

I really wish LSU would announce/enact a policy of not retiring jersey numbers.


They have one. LSU does not officially retire numbers. If a coach wants to take a number out of circulation, he can do that. Miles took 37 out of circulation, 9 has been out of circulation since 2019, and apparently Kelly took 5 out of circulation.

Kelly's not here any more and Kiffin is rightfully more concerned with keeping his current player happy.

If Steve Ensminger doesn’t mind his #5 being worn, Jayden shouldn’t either.
Kevin Faulk never cried because Pickett wore #3 last year. His legacy will far outweigh Daniels for all time, even without the Heisman

Almost everyone is saying he looks like a little bitch here

He is damaging his reputation with all of the mom stuff and then this

Yeah, I was expecting the normal LSU haters to chime in with low IQ takes today, but this is like a 95% to 5% issue on JD looking like the bad guy here.

There are far better ambassadors for this program that didn’t win the Heisman that played for LSU. He would’ve eventually got his jersey retired in the stadium and a statue and that’s all potentially gone because the next great Tiger was promised 5.



Right.

He could be an ambassador for LSU like Burrow, and connect himself with the fanbase. And if so, he'd definitely have a jersey retired in the stadium and potentially a statue.

And he just threw it away. His mom is a psycho.

Something like this won’t hold up in court. No way a former player can tell his former school that a player can’t wear a number. The number isn’t exclusive to Daniels. Other players have worn the number 5 before him


I don’t think that is what he’s doing.
He is telling LSU they can’t use his Name, Image and Likeness….over a number.

It is stupid all around.

Unless they lift the C&D, it IS all gone.

A statue and the Ring of Honor requires LSU’s use of his name, image and likeness. None of which they can legally use as of now.

Daniels deserves #5 to be retired


Where does it stop? 100 players on a team. At some point you run out of useable numbers. They honored the jersey, that should be enough.

I hope Pickett is a Thorpe winner and Heisman finalist and all over TV with #5. Jayden and his mom just seething watching ESPN.

We went 60 years between our first two Heismans. I don't think we're going to run out of numbers.

That said, just a Heisman, I think statue and jersey retired. Heisman AND a title gets your number retired as well. That scenario just doesn't happen enough to worry about losing possible roster numbers.

I don't think anyone should wear 9 again.

This is my take. Someone thinking they own a number is next level dumb. I am not surprised though... especially if "Mom" is involved...
