re: Randle the Tiger

Neither did I, but I go to the bars sometime where they usually bring about 50-100 fans. You should check it out. LINK

if Julio or AJ were at LSU, it would be LaFell #1 and Julio or AJ #2...both of them would easily pass up Terrance Toliver on the depth chart

So let's see what we have learned here.

Also known as, "5 things I'm gonna make up and pull out of my arse". Seriously, couldn't you have at least included ONE thing that someone actually said?

I don't get why this is so difficult for you: had Randle gone to Bama, he would have been a clear choice for their #2 WR alongside Jones. That would have meant he was likely to catch a good many passes in most of their games, likely including their game against us. Here, we have LaFell and Tolliver. LaFell is pretty solidly our #1 WR and would be even if Jones or Green were on our team (this year's version or last year's version). Randle is expected to compete with Tolliver for the chance to be the #2, but is expected to end up as the #3 because as a true freshman he is not likely to beat out the more experienced Tolliver. At Bama, however, he would have no one like Tolliver with whom to compete for the #2 spot alongside Jones. That's why he was expected to be a threat to us if he went to Bama. Just as Tolliver is expected to be a threat to the teams we play as our #2 WR.

I essentially said the same thing:

It seems to me you have had a little to much recruiting hype; when Tolliver signed, he was a positional #1 as well. Randle was a final day commit so the hype was intensified. Both Green and Julio, walking on our campus today, would be competing for the #3, (outside shot at #2) same as anyone expects of Randle. Lafell would still be the absolute #1 and Tolliver would still be the firm #2.

But when I read the disrespect thrown in Lafell's
direction, felt the need to solidify my post with
a little supporting opinion.

you do realize that you posted a scout.com article right?

...in a "not that creative" run-first offense that hasn't produced 1 NFL WR in the last 10 years, with an untested QB that could take a long time to develop (JPW wasn't good until his 5th year)....I don't see why this is so hard for you?

Thanks Ironsides...

I think this thread proves, among other things, that LSU fans that post on this site have an inability to see things as they truly are a lot of the time. Instead, they just throw meaningless, bitch-like insults.

The best answer thus far as to why we project players like RR to do better if playing for the competition is WR depth. There is probably some truth to that as far as touches are concerned. However, Green and Jones are both vastly superior at this point to Toliver and I think Lafell too. I have provided objective support as well.

People were fearful that RR would kill us this year if he went to Bama

no, we just didn't want to not get him ourselves.

Delta Doc do you realize that Lafell was an ALl-SEC reciever last year. He is the best WR in the SEC right now.
