Give it to a freshman kicker next year and be done with it.

But for God’s sake don’t let them pick the uniforms they wear. The alternates are ruining the brand /s

Up/downvote ratio is pretty strong actually. Looks like more people agree than disagree, including this guy.

Isn’t he one of the best young corners in the NFL right now?

You’re wrong about both of these, they are both great pros.
And wrong about Chark. Just because he didn’t have a QB who could get him the ball at an elite level doesn’t mean he wasn’t great.

You know dick about football. Stop posting.

Yeah. If Perkins wouldn't have been wearing #7 on his jersey he would have 5 sacks, 12 tfls, 3 forced fumbles, 1 int, and his ACL would be connected. Clearly the number contributed heavily to all of this.
Do some of you even think before you post?

You are stupid. 7 is not for the fans, it's for the players.

Only reason they should do it is if the players like it but otherwise I agree. It needs to be retired. It’s a silly tradition and when you constantly find yourself disappointed in #7 every year, it loses its value.
Posted on 9/27/24 at 11:36 am to tFearIsReal
#7 started with the DBs and that’s where it should stay. It only became a jinx when we took it out of the secondary and started using it at other positions.

I think it should be given to a sophmore. There is allot of factors with a third year player with a high draft grade that accross the nation to have a drop in performance to their junior years.
There is so much pressure on these players to "not get hurt" and protect their high draft status. Devin White is one of the few players we have had with a high draft grade going in to his third year that has gotten better. The list of number 7's listed could apply to numerous major programs with their start sophmore players.

Not disagreeing overall, but your assessment of Stingley is off base. He's top 3 CB in the NFL.

Derek Stingley Jr. has reached contender status after flourishing as the Houston Texans' No. 1 corner in 2023. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder finished his second season with 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions, despite missing six games due to a hamstring injury. Fast-forward to this preseason, and the Texans' CB1 not only looks like a potential All-Pro, but I believe he could supplant Gardner as the NFL's top corner by season's end.

maybe #7 should be given to the best incoming freshman

Ok. I put my foot in my mouth with Delpit and Stingley about their pro careers, but the real point is it’s been a bad tradition for almost a decade and as a fan it’s hard to watch. It started off so promising with three legendary players, only to see it be an almost certain mark of disappointment. Sure, I guess it’s a player thing but it doesn’t seem like it’s doing them any favors. Sometimes, a coach should step in and say this isn’t serving LSU Football (which is a brand that is inextricable from the fans that watch it) and we should just nix it for now. As a player, I’d feel like shite if the purported best player on the team was constantly hurt or underperforming. Would seem to be harmful to morale.
Also, whoever said Will Campbell was an All-American last year is wrong about that.
