Who could talk JD into doing something this stupid?

disclaimer - i wanted Nuss to replace JD the year he had his breakout season, and I was wrong. I didn't think he would improve as a passer and he turned into a great college qb. I wanted him to come back for his last year, but of course, the dinero was calling.

Why would he do something this stupid? He could still make it go away and I'd be fine, and I think everyone else would be fine, too.

Petty and selfish move, JD - we're still proud that you were a tiger, Jayden. that goodwill is not something to throw away for nothing.

Who do you think? As if it isn’t obvious…

His mom/agent

Look no further than the time she sat between him and JuJu Watkins during Women’s March Madness

Just another “young punk” thinking the World owes him something

He should concentrate on his career that has been Mediocre so far

Almost every single thread on the first page is about this story.

I can't understand why his team would proceed with such a misguided and unwise PR move.

He’s one hit away from being irrelevant. He needs to focus on his toothpick legs and less on LSU.

I can’t believe Daniels would make it all about him. I really thought he was carefree.

This wouldn’t happen at any other school. I truly believe that. Manziel doesn’t care when people wear 2 at A&M. I doubt Winston cares if someone at FSU wears whatever number he wore in college.

It’s crazy to me Daniels camp is making a stink about this.

Back at the ranch….. no one (except us of course) is paying attention to the football team and I bet Kiffin loves it. Concerned about irrelevant distractions

No doubt they all thought it was going to be a worse PR nightmare for LSU. But that is why it was such a short sided emotional decision. That will tarnish everything he accomplished here.

He has not destroyed his name and image; he has modified it .
In a very damaging way and with his most loyal group of supporters.
Even from a strictly business point of view, this is destructive to Jayden's good will with fans and this ego-centric move will even hurt him with his NFL fans.
This should have never happened with sound business management.
Totally self- inflicted wound .

That was some serious miscalculation by his camp, whoever it was. He is getting hammered on social media.

It’s pretty bad. The only heat LSU is catching is Kiffin related by people who already hated Kiffin.
