Those were epic autocorrects.

I think it'll go in this order Dural, Dupree, Chark/Johnson, Diarse, then Quinn.

I can honestly see Johnson fitting into that slot role really well. He runs that underneath route pretty fluidly.

I'd like to see the stats for the entire team in regards to dropped passes. Quinn's were always at the wrong time it seemed.

Last year the WR position was wide open. Dural was the leading returner with 7 career catches. The WRs had 8 total career catches. Quinn became a starter as a true. He must have shown the coaches something. He just didn't perform and I hope those two dropped passes are not what he is remembered for at LSU. In the spring game he looked to be the 5th WR after Dural, Chi, Chark, and Diarse. Now he has Johnson, Jazz, and Dillon to deal with plus perhaps Jackson some.

I think they let him hold for XPs and FGs in the spring plus his return duties. Obviously, things can change. I'll say that whenever he gets a chance at WR he better make plays but that is true of all the WRs.

One of my good friends who went to high school with Justin Vincent at Barbe seen JV at the casino in lake Charles and asked him about Quinn. JV told him that Quinn is kinda struggling geting off the line. Word for word " he's just getting beat". So take it for what it's worth.

For those who saw him play in HS, wasn't he more of a downfield threat than slot guy??

I know Dural was entrenched after week 1 in the deep routes and the urge by many was to assume he'd be slot because of the lame Welker tag, but with his track speed I think he has potential to move over for Dural after this year along with Chark. Catching long balls over the shoulder is not the same skill set as turning at the sticks and snagging one in between the numbers, where he struggled painfully last year.

Given all of the competition at slot, he may be out of time there. I could see him disappearing this year and popping up as a legit deep threat in 2016 if he stays with it (and if Chark doesn't pass him up as well).

yes, many wr's dropped multi balls in their early years, Quinn dropped his share last year but until the bama game he also made a lot of tough catches. He will be fine and will end up with his share, he is just too good and gets open.

The guy would have been better off at one of those pass happy teams like Texas Tech or Baylor. Could have helped him develop into an NFL possession type receiver a la Welker, Amendola. Not only is he lost in the talent, but he doesn't have a chance to have more than 3-4 balls thrown to him per game for the foreseen future. Like or not, that's the reality.

I just hope Trey can mentally shake the drops. Pass-catching can be a very mental thing after you drop a pass or two in key situations. Hopefully, he will be given the chance to prove himself. The ole saying "remember jacob hester fumbled his first carry", comes to mind.

Didn't he have the 2nd most catches behind Dural? He's a productive player. He's not the first to drop passes as a freshmen against Bama.....

you also heard more about Valentine than Quentin Thomas, and Valentine never played a down for LSU.

Quinn was second on the team in catches last year, and broke several Louisiana records. He dropped a few passes, okay. OBJ, as noted in another thread, dropped a few passes as well. Quinn will play and will probably become LSU's most reliable rec on the team....the go to guy when they need a big catch.

good god. I think there is like a group of guys that admin has in their network where they tell the dumb bastards to go on the rant and post the most ignorant shite you can imagine in order to keep interest up. Dukkee V is the team leader, for sure, of that group of people.

Quinn was tied with Magee with (17) for second on the team. Dural lead with (37).

Heard some of the same things. Also heard Tyron is doing well in 7 on 7.

IMO the WR depth chart looks like this:

Dural
Dupre
Chark
Diarse
Quinn

Then Tyron Johnson comes in and Donte Jackson may get some looks at slot. He'll have to be patient and wait his turn. It's a good problem to have

Jesus. Anyone remember Dwayne Bowe vs. Auburn in 2005?



Bad games happen. Quinn won't be Bowe, but he'll catch 30-40 balls this season.
