Why ignore it? He deserves criticism. I was watching a football show on youtube that has nothing to do with LSU and the host was trashing Clark over these comments.

Nobody is “offended”, but why do you and others just accept blatant ignorance? This isn’t a wrong opinion, this is someone stating things that are objectively false

He is in fact wrong, but it's not worth going crazy over. He just didn't look up the facts before saying it. I'd bet the majority of this board would have thought that Pickens was bigger, stronger, and faster if you would have asked them this question before anyone was able to look it up.

The issue is that people think Jefferson is less of an athlete because he was a three star recruit that we as LSU fans love to push. They forget the fact a big reason he was a three star recruit wasn’t his physical ability. It was the fact they didn’t think he would be able to qualify academically to play and a lot of schools backed off of him because of tha


And this is why Jefferson deserves more respect. Pretty sure he has always had the talent.

How is reposting his thoughts on a message board “going crazy over it”

People on one hand say they wish there was more accountability in the media, then in the other say completely ignore 100% when they are wrong and do absolutely nothing about it

No one denies that there are extremely gifted players in the NFL, but that doesn't make them a great player.

For once Ryan Clark isn't whining about something social justice related

Geez man. I never said you were “going crazy over it.”


It obviously hit a nerve because you keep mentioning it, yes? That’s all I meant. He’s wrong, you’re right. Again, I agree with you.

I don’t pay attention to what he says. I’m happier that way.

If you want to give him “more criticism” for it, so be it. But I’ll say this, by voicing that, he’ll more than likely continue to do things like this.


There’s no “right” way to go about this.

Fair enough?

Like if he said that about D.K. Metcalf or AJ Brown I would actually agree that both of those guys are more physically gifted/talented than JJ but neither are on JJ's level. But Pickens is just a weird Receiver to choose for this argument.

shite if he would have said Chase is more physically gifted but JJ is better right now I don't think anyone would question that either. Just very curious the person he chose in this argument.

Ryan Clark is a lazy bobble head on TV. Like most lazy bobble heads on TV, they stir the pot to keep attention on themselves. Stop fricking making threads every time dude says dumb shite.








Was a great player for LSU and in the NFL. None of this theatre takes away from any of that, imo. But outside of this, im tired of hearing from the dude.

Exactly. People defending Clark are trying to act like we don’t understand the concept of his argument

There are WRs out there faster and more explosive that jump higher and are bigger than Jefferson. Pickens just isn’t one of them

No one actually said you were going crazy over it. But there was an entire thread about it yesterday, and you felt the need to create a new one this morning because you wanted to talk about it some more. People on sports television say things that are factually incorrect all day, every day.

I made a new thread because yesterday he didn’t actually respond on what he meant. Today, it is now clear exactly what he meant by his statements

You do realize that ESPN comes up with all of these contrarian narratives for each of their employees to endorse and continually support?


RC routinely takes the contrarian path even outside of his ESPN work. Probably because he thinks it makes him look smarter than everyone else.

RC shouldn’t be anywhere near the program. His tales are retarded on pretty much every subject.

Ryan Clark is nothing but a mascot at ESPN. They keep him around because he has silly, embarrassing takes that, for whatever reason, make Mike Greenberg laugh. Clark is the organ grinder's monkey. Nothing more.

Comparing any receiver that is not an All Pro to Jefferson is just stupid. He is probably the best receiver in football at any level. And he didnt have all the success at LSU and Minn by accident.

Pickens may not be a top 50 receiver in the league.
