re: Josh Booty still salty about LSU

I wish he would not have come here either, then we would have gotten Peyton Manning

:rotflmao: You have no idea the disdain his dad has for LSU.... none..

Whatever he did in January 97 definitely started the clock, you can see on the rosters he was listed as a sophomore in 99 and a junior in 2000 (Saban & Jimbo’s first year).

I suppose he could have also attended class early in that semester, before having to report to camp with the Marlins. If you recall that was also the same semester Abram enrolled.

ah gotcha, well whatever the case, his excuse is ridiculous nonetheless. Rohan had no problem flourishing and was a redshirt junior Saban's first year at LSU. Booty always seems to want to blame everyone but himself for his problems.

I wonder whose fault this was

Salty?

Kind of.

Terrible family and Josh did more harm to LSU than good. Locker room couldn't stand Josh. He was, and still is, a huge prick. Rohan should've been playing that entire time.

ETA:

And he wasn't even good. I still can't believe he got All-SEC. Must've been the worst year for QBs in SEC modern history.

I mean shite, he was benched twice that year. Here are his stats:

2,121 yards, 50% compl, 17 TDs, 15 INTs.

For comparison:

Danny Etling, who is as average as average can be:

2,435 yards, 60% compl, 16 TDs, 2 INTs




In that same year:

Rex Grossman:
1,866 yrads, 61.8%, 21 TDs, 7 INTs

Jared Lorenzen:
3,867 yards, 57.4%, 19 TDs, 21 INTs

Booty did all he could under that crap staff in 1999.

Booty was ALL SEC under Jimbo in 2000.

I haven’t talked to him since the seccg in 2011.

Never came across as salty at all. Huge LSU supporter

Well, Saban benched his arse for Rohan

Rohan was better. That offense was scary good with Rohan running it.

Wasn’t even good? Gtfo

Ahhh yes. Forget the eye test and actual abilities and what coaches allowed them to do as far as play calls. But no Let’s just look at stats. Yeah man etling was great and
Josh sucked.

He wasn't good. He even lost his fricking job that year. And I literally just said Etling was as average as average can be, yet still had exponentially better statistics than Josh.

Josh was not a good quarterback at LSU. Nearly every QB we've had since then has been better, and that is saying something considering the shite lineup we've had.

Million dollar arm....Nickel head.

Are you saying Rohan had more arm talent and was allowed to run better plays? Because Rohan, that same year, in only 4 games, had FAR better statistics with the same coaches in the same offense.

That year, in 4 games while Josh was benched or hurt, he threw more yds/game, ypa, 15% higher completion %, and 60 pts higher passer rating with 7 TDs and 1 INT.
