You don’t win a national title without great teammates… it isn’t Jayden’s fault he didn’t have them

Sorry but thems the breaks.

Had burrow not won a natty and got treated different then Jayden would have more of a leg to stand on. But fans and legacy is absolutely tied to winning titles


At a smaller scale you can look at how reverent the fanbase is for Matt Flynn over Jamarcus despite Jamarcus being the better QB during his time at LSU. Had LSU won in 2006 instead of 2007, Jamarcus would be hailed as a god in Baton Rouge and Matt Flynn would own the best car lot on Airline Highway

Drew Brees didn't cement his legacy by winning a Super Bowl? Would he be viewed the same had the Saints lost to the Colts?

The fact that you are blaming his mom for this is insane. You have zero evidence of this other than you're prob butthurt that one of your fav lsu players would do this so you make excuses for them

He's a grown man and she won't let him go on dates

That team cemented their legacy in the Super Bowl, but it was year 4 for Drew here. It’s all the yards, TDs, and stats that made him the Saints’ GOAT later in his career (and yes, the near misses when we had the best team)

But that’s 1 Saints Super Bowl in 60 years. The Cubs have one title in like 120. Pelicans are about as far away from a title as you can be.

And think about this. With the records he set and all, if the Saints lose that Super Bowl, Brees would still be the Saints GOAT for getting us there once and to the NFC Championship Game 3 times, along with all the playoff wins

Jayden Daniels just played as recently as 2023. Why does he feel so entitled that LSU needs his blessing to issue his number to another player? It's taken LSU's all-time great players nearly half a century to have their jerseys honored, yet their numbers are still worn. Why should Daniels be treated differently? This new era of athlete entitlement is so exhausting

All of this sums up my opinions exactly.

I think there’s a section of this board that wants it to become a race thing so they can bring it into their culture war obsession

The overwhelming opinion by the national media has not been in Jayden favor and outside of a few trolls or one off tweets, the discussion hasn’t been centered around race at all. But there’s a lot of guys here who can only stay interested in a topic if it has some culture war juice to it. They want to make it about race just as bad if not more than the random twitter accounts that are being posted in here

so his team winning more than any other have a lot to do with his legacy as a Saints QB?

---

Yeah over time and just being likable and (most importantly) STAYING

But whether he won that Super Bowl or not he was still awesome
