Who would you rather have on last year's team? Mathieu, Randle, or Brooks?

Mathieu - playmaker
Randle - deap threat
Brockers - force in the middle

This is a very hard decision as all three were sorely missed on last year's team. Mathieu in all likelihood makes a play on that screen pass in the Bama game & closes it out for the win. Randle's deep threat ability would definitely have accounted for several more touchdowns, increasing the teams overall margin of victory & not leaving games so close. Brockers's presence in the middle would have killed Florida's run game & more than likely secured a Tiger win.

My pick would have to be Mathieu, as this team sorely missed his playmaking ability & leadership on defense. I could have definitely seen this team going undefeated & getting another shot at the NC with him back on.

What say the Rant?

And LSU let Mathieu go for more reasons than his herbal habit.

If we would've had Randle we wouldn't have lost a game IMO. Our defense was fine last year

Stupidess decision the university could have ever made was cutting Mathieu. They should have just stuck it out with him for one more year but instead decided to get rid of him & severely decrease the team's chances at the NC.

It would not have been any more enjoyable to watch Mett repeatedly overthrow Randle, IMO.

Not if you want to win it isn't.

Or if you're retarded. It maybe a hard decision if you're retarded, too.

Mathieu is my favorite LSU player ever but Randle would've had a bigger positive effect.

We'll never know, obviously, but I'm guessing we don't come up just short in either the Florida or the Bama game with Badger back there. I don't think anymore offense would've even been necessary to go undefeated or at least pull out 1 out of the 2 regular season defeats. More offense still would've been nice, though, of course.

Hey, are you retarded or what?

Honestly, Id say Randle. He would have absolutely flourished last year and its a shame he didn't stay

Are you sure you're not just trying to say something different than the obvious, Brett?

If not, then I must ask...are you...retarded, as well...Brett?

No. Randle gave us a deep threat no one else could and As I said, there's no or throwing Randle. Lets say he provided an extra 5-8 touchdowns, yeah I'd say that's be worth more than the badger.
Personally I would have rathered Mathieu back, but offense was the problem, not the defense (for most of the year.)

I'd have to agree. The recievers last season were not deep threat receivers; Randle is.

Randle is the only correct answer he was a receiver who made getting open easy and would have caught everything.
