re: Who is better of the three LSU safeties?

I love Delpit, but I’ll never forget the interception Reid made at Bama in 2011.

Jamal Adams - 99
Laron Landry - 97
Grant Delpit - 97
Eric Reid - 96

People are going crazy over Delpit identifying the play on the fake FG this week. Eric Reid breaking off and making that play in 2011 was 10x better than Delpit running down some slow arse kicker on a fake FG.

Having said that, Delpit will be better than Laron Landry and Eric Reid by the time he leaves LSU.

Reid and Landry were physically much more intimidating than Delpit. Delpit is much more of a ball hawk and instinctive than either of them though.

Mathieu is GOT

Overrated?? Why would you say that? Adams is smaller than all those guys and still a force. You have to be pretty damn athletic when you're not 6'2" 215 pounds. He's like 6' 205 and can tackle or cover anyone. His recognition skills are top notch. He's smart, physical, can cover and play run support.

I think those guys are also great but Adams was picked in the top 10 for a good reason. He's an elite player. I think using overrated is a bit loose. Delpit is a great player and what's scary is that he has much more room to grow. Mathieu and Adams both reached their full potential while at LSU but still plenty good enough for Elite status in the NFL. Reid's actions of late have turned me off from him honestly. It's not because of what he's doing or the cause, it's because he can obviously see it affecting him and still doesn't care to let his dedication to the issue evolve into another venue or event.

If your goal is to bring attention to the issue, then you pick a positive venue or event to bring it to for people to actually listen. It would have worked sooooo much better if they would have done it for 2 or 3 weeks, didn't respond to the chatter, then stopped, got on ESPN and announced that they wouldn't do it again but just wanted to bring it to people's attention, bad or good. They knew people wouldn't agree with the venue but that it would generate all this publicity so they went ahead. Now that they have everyone's attention, they'll bring it to the proper venues and events.

The way they doing it now just makes them look disrespectful, rebellious, angry and dumb. You can adjust what you're doing and be much more successful. They would have gotten sooo much more respect if they had respected people's wishes and actually told everyone it was part of the plan the whole time. Would have looked much more genious too.

You can't go against the public's opinion and expect to sell something like this. It's a debatable issue not some real problem in this country. Racism back in the 50's and 60's was real. It's still real but not like these morons are acting like its some wide spread problem. It's not. It's a hack is what it is. But you could have still gotten some people to fall in line with this if they hadn't been so abrasive about it.

Sorry I went off the rails a bit.

Honey badger is better than all 3 combined

The talent in Louisiana is amazing. Landry, Delpit, Steltz, Chad Jones, Mathieu, and Reid all came from Louisiana. But LSU missed out on Ed Reed, who is arguably one of the best safeties ever to play in the NFL.

What's better? A pound of solid gold coins, gold bars or gold jewelry?

I'd be happy with any of the three.

Left out Tommy Casanova. 3x all American, 3x All SEC, 3x pro bowler and 1x All Pro in the NFL. He was also a damn good punt returner at LSU and with the Bengals.
