but the safety is going to lay him out and probably send the ball into the stands.

nelson was coming in too short of where the ball was thrown. The hit wouldn't have been nearly as hard if Lafell wasn't coming down like he did. He wouldn't have had to jump like that if he just kept running.

Nelson would have been underneath the play if lafell reads it right. it was a young receiver making a mistake and it definitely was not a bad decision

Thanks for a good shot of the play. But I still know that Nelson would have adjusted to Lafell, no matter when he jumped and still hit him hard. But the point still is, whether we argue about that one play or not, that Jamarcus did not always throw the ball in the right places. Many times his great college wide receivers bailed him out. Even on one of his greatest highlight plays, the 2 spins and throw it 60 yards down field against Ole Miss, Craig Davis outjumped two Ole Miss defenders.

Even though he did a great job at LSU, he still has a ways to go to fulfill his potential and make a great QB (NFL).

80% Jamarcus < 100% Flynn

so im curious, what is jamarcus' health% when he has a concussion? i would consider that less than 80% in most cases, yet he proved in the tennessee game in '06 that him playing with a concussion was vastly superior to flynn being 100% healthy.

Russell= Flynn.....just stupid

When JR was let loose,he excelled. My favorite was ROHAN because he played for the fun of the game, but Russell was unbeleivable. We should not knock a player for loses based on his mistakes only, and remember he could have went to BAMA!! I'm just glad he picked the TIGERS

Indiana Tiger and Puttytat yall da men! You see the forest through the trees. Like you said Puttytat, watch out, or you'll be labeled a rscist or worse if you disagree with the russell lovers. Indiana, very well put, and exactly my points on Russell. Go Tee! Go Tee! Go Tee!

Jamarcus threw 3 picks (one was an end over end pick 6), fumbled once (we recovered), fumbled another time but we got a fortunate whistle so that we retained the ball on our game winning drive.... but because we won in the last seconds of the game then Jamarcus must have had a great game. That game was an example of us winning late when Jamarcus put us in a hole early.

---

on russell's pick 6 the ball just slipped out of his hand and fluttered up in the air. yes it was his fault, but it wasnt a bad read or a forced ball, just a freak thing that only happened that one time that i can remember. on one of the interceptions he tried to force the ball into i be lieve richard dickson and hefney picked it off around the 10 yard line. i dont remember the other one.

he fumbled on the hit that he got the concussion on. his "almost" fumble is irrelevant because it was not a fumble and if anything it was a makeup call for the blown call on the punt earlier in the game when the officials said hefney did not touch the ball even though he clearly did.

the team was also marching down the field when bowe fumbled around the tennessee 40. on the very next play crompton hit meachem deep for a score.

ut because we won in the last seconds of the game then Jamarcus must have had a great game.

---

saying he was still clearly better than flynn is not saying he had a great game.

and back to the original reason for this game being brought up, flynn came in the game for one drive when russell first got the concussion and the team moved backwards. he also took a sack inside the lsu 10 that caused chris jackson to have to punt from his own endzone.

---

That game was an example of us winning late when Jamarcus put us in a hole early.

russell got that concussion on the first drive of the game. there was also a missed field goal on that drive.

flynn came in and the team went backwards.

russell came back and played the rest of the game with a concussion.

quote:

---

By the way, Flynn had some very good games at LSU when healthy (Miami, V Tech, Ohio St)

---

i really would love to know what people think is so good about 13/22 for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns, or 17/27 for 217 yards and no touchdowns. russell's averages from 2005 or 2006 are just as good if not better than those 2 "very good" games combined.

why did i know you wouldnt do it? your just the netx person in a very long line of rant dumbasses that failed to type that statement.

and a questionable call or 2 in the Auburn game.

---

2? TWO? Did you watch the game at all? WE HAD 8! Count them. 8 questionable calls. 4 of them were drive stoppers in Auburn territory. Nobody can overcome that. Trust me, if by chance we woulda gotten in the EZ on that last drive a refs flag was coming out for holding. THEY were not gonna let us win.

quote:

---

You should remember that he threw the same end over end pass against Florida in 2006, it just fell incomplete. You should remember that at Arizona St in 2005, with LSU in the red zone the ball just slipped out of his hands backwards for a fumble.

---

no, i dont remember the florida pass. i do vaguely remember the arizona state play now that you mention it. it doesnt change the fact that its just a freak thing that happens, and when its intercepted its no different than flynn severly underthrowing a receiver like in the kentucky or alabama games.

quote:

---

I'm not sure which of those two games the stats were for

---

its not that hard to look up, but why does that matter?

quote:

---

but the V Tech and Ohio St games were very good games for Flynn.

---

so what youre saying is those were good games by flynn's standards, even though they generally amounted to average games by russell's standards, right?

quote:

---

(Flynn excuse - the pick against Ohio St came when Terrence Tolliver didn't break his route off. He broke one way, Flynn threw it the other way)

---

thats fine. just dont blame russell for interceptions when balls bounce off receivers hands or they run the wrong route if you arent going to do it for flynn.

and you still havent addressed the original reason this was even brought up: russell with a concussion >>>> flynn 100% healthy
