if you say hatch isn't SEC caliber, you're told to f-off because he gave it his all, blah blah

yet nobody blinks an eye when people say that keiland will end up in the Arena League or CFL

yeah, i don't get it. please explain


That's not even what I was addressing.
You are going to go down in history as the creator of the entire "Knight" concept. Your fixation on Keiland is just scary. You manipulate stats, make apples to butter comparisons, and lodge unsupported accusations against other members and players all in the name of supporting him. It will be interesting to see two things. 1. How long after KW leaves LSU before you stop mentioning him and all the wrongs done to him by the coaches and fans, and 2. Who your bizzaro fixation lands upon when Keiland leaves.

Trindon did not beat out KW

Flynn did not beat out JR, theory is flawed!

Why do you think everyone has to agree with you ?

No one in their right mind thinks Hatch is an All-SEC caliber QB. You get law school deans from Harvard,not quarterbacks. I think most people here just wish him the best. They don't understand your zeal in attacking him.

As for Williams,if he goes pro,I hope he makes it to the HOF one day. I have nothing against him. But some of you act like he's Jim Brown and Walter Payton rolled into one and Miles < Hallman since he didn't play him both ways every down.

when KW was a true freshman, they ended up leaning on him more

and hester lost his versatility in 2007. we barely threw at him like a receiver

This is the one that always gets me. I don't understand how anyone could objectively look at these two and conclude that Flynn was better in any regard when compared to JR. This isn't a knock on Flynn because I thought he was a really good QB, just not as good as JR.

Hope KW stays, but he will not be the reason why LSU wins. Maximus and SFP thinks KW can walk on water when he can swim ok at best.

Then a majority of this board doesn't have a "right mind". I agree that everyone here wishes him the best, but let's call a turd a turd without jumping on those that criticize.

And, BTW, about the knighting stuff(not directed at u I-59)...Hester/Flynn/Hatch are knighted for way more than KW ever will be, and that's the point...why is that?

Why not? How can expect something of others that you fail to do yourself?

Really he has never been given a chance to walk on water. I have never understood the RB subing thing..Hester was over used in 07 do I think he was the best in short yardage..yes but KW and Scott would get 1 or 2 touches and break big runs and then you would never see them again and it certainly isn't the hot hand theory because we have seen how quickly guys go to the bench never to be seen in the game again..

I just think a lot more was expected of KW by tiger nation; whereas, nothing was expected of AH.

That being said, I DO NOT think KW underperformed. He always maximized his touches IMO, but he just got caught up in a #s game.

I think he will have a good NFL career and I think his draft stock will not be hurt by his limited PT as long as he performs wells at the combine b/c he has plenty outstanding plays at the college level that obviously prove that he CAN play.

Use the search function and your handle, then read them all to a person you don't know who is a sports fan that does not post on the rant. I don't have any more time to brief it.

Hatch is white, Keiland is black. Same reason it's okay to criticize:

Jamarcus
D Bowe

But not okay to criticize:

Hester
Flynn


The Rant really loves the "he had to work harder because he's not as talented" guy, but the Rant loves the underdog white guy more than anything at all.
