Hmm.. I wonder if those two may have accomplished some other things with their teams that Daniels didn't?

You need to inform just about everyone on this planet who uses championships as a primary metric for greatness in sports.

If a 8 score Citrus bowl win over 8-6 Purdue isn’t enough for fans to recognize greatness, nothing will be.

So many retarded Saints fans go out of their way to try and shite on LSU. You call Jayden a grown man yet his mommy is still tucking his soft arse in at night and running his empire. Typical insufferable “boss bitch.”

Grown arse man in the NFL is crying about his college number? He's more sensitive than Kevin Durant. Grow up, already.

Whatever person on Jayden’s “team” that told him that this was a good idea should be fired asap. Destroying your own public image in the course of a day over something so goofy is certainly a choice.

Seems like someone on his team or Jayden himself has read the room and put out a statement to cool down the flames a bit.

Seems to imply the issue is between “his team” and LSU. Adds to the speculation this is either an agent or his mom convincing him this is a worthy thing to be upset about.


Both sides should be motivated to come to an agreement to mend the fence and kill the story. I might wait until next year given the current heat but something like enshrining his number in the stadium and doing a game day dedicated to honoring him (can do something similar with burrow as well) or a decal. Jayden can blame the whole thing on bad advice from his team and miscommunications and LSU gets to ensure this isn’t a long term issue with one of its most decorated players.

They will. But it’s still such a weird, dumb story. Total own goal from Daniels.

But it’ll fade, he’ll be honorary captain in like 2 years, and no one will care

Guarantee you this was going to happen at some point down the road even before this, which makes the whole thing even dumber on his part.

No doubt. There was zero upside in this whole thing for Daniels. And his number probably wouldn’t be in use right now if BK didn’t promise it to Pickett so at the end of the day this energy is being pointed in the wrong place

LSU could scrub every bit of history of Jayden Daniels ever playing at LSU, it wouldn't hurt LSU one bit. They can just pretend like he never existed.

He has about 24 hours to do a 180 on this and throw someone under the bus or the bridge is burned forever. The boos will rain down in Tiger Stadium likes he’s never heard if he shows up without fixing this.

His mom teamed up with Antonio Pierce to get ASU in trouble with recruiting violations. She was organizing impermissible visits by recruits, paying for it with her credit card and getting cash from Antonio. It got him banned from college sports for 8 years.

The woman is a mess.

See this kind of attitude is just as ridiculous to me as Jayden’s Cease and Desist was in the first place.


Would that meaningfully hurt LSU in the long run? Probably not. But having Jayden as a piece of history and honoring him is also a great piece for LSU to have and use for recruiting and relationship building. If Daniels wanted to put his feet in the sand about this then they can let him and be fine, but it absolutely behooves them to do something to smooth this over and not have this as a story if he’s willing on his end. Doesn’t mean they’ll have to do anything they wouldn’t have already done

If he shows up in TS, that means he already resolved it, but I think y’all need to calm down a little. The bridge is not forever burned. Time heals all wounds, especially something this shallow and pedantic.

No doubt his mom is involved in this. Seeing their dynamic on that Netflix doc Quarterback was weird af.
