I think this question deserves its own thread:

What's up with all the Peterson love? Of all LSU players, I think he is loved the most by the LSU crowd. If anyone ever says anything bad about him, there is ALWAYS a few people to come to PP7's defense.

He never won a title at LSU. He's been a good CB but not great like many thought. Same for college. He had all the tools. I don't get it.



This is stupid. As an outsider, the answer to your question is pretty obvious. The guy was a fantastic LSU Tiger and has represented the university well. He was a high pick in the draft and is now a top 3 CB in the NFL, making the Pro Bowl every year he's been in the league. You should always stick up for your alumni if they represent the university well. There's absolutely no reason for LSU fans to not love him.

We won our bowl game

Congrats on yall's Super Bowl though. It was a great shutout by the real SEC powerhouse on 1/9 That Oregon season was lost in terms of Natty hopes in the loss to USC. I'll take the Rose Bowl win though.

And I agree with that other poster. I'd say he's top 5. Talib, Haden, Sherman, and Revis. I'd take those 4 if I were starting a team today and needed a CB for THIS season.


First off, you have zero right to call out a program like LSU when your team hasnt won shite, and the obvious fact that we curb stomped yall when we actually played.

Second, he was the best DB in college

Third, you come on here saying hes been good but not great, then agree that hes top 5? What is great then?

Fourth, your an idiot

I think the new edition of Webster's Dictionary should include the following definition of "ironic":

Any Oregon fan who attempts to assess the talents or accomplishments of ANY defensive player.

To be fair the word great is used far too often.
Being called good isn't an insult if its not by some 15 yr old kid who claims a player is the GOAT every other week.

Great representation for LSU and one hell of a player. I will admit that he sucked at intercepting alabama QBs along the side line though. Guy just could not accept that having possession of the ball and dragging your foot inbounds does not count.

But why LSU fans act like he is Reggie Bush or Vince Young or Tebow or Cam or...guys brought titles to their school and were Heisman revered...is beyond me.

LSU fans act like PP7 is their modern day Billy Cannon. You can't say shite about him. It's beyond weird. But - I guess - you latch onto - whatever you have been offered...and no Heisman winners, etc and nothing to show on offese...he's their best offering.


Patrick and Reggie won the same number of BCS and Heisman trophies.

Honestly he is overrated at this point . He is a physical freak, but there are a handful of better Cbs. I don't think he is a player QBs or Wrs fear. He is good, but should not be an all pro. He is still living off measurables, draft position, and a few high lights. There are better Cbs with less physical ability like Sherman or Joe Haden. Just my opinion. He gets beat alot and is lost or slow to react in zone sometimes. His football IQ is lacking. It will come with experience though. I'd give him 2 more years and then he'll probably be the undisputed best


Except for your last sentence, which Alabama DB are you talking about? They are all forgettable once they get to the NFL.

why do you start so many threads questioning why lsu and saints fans do things?
What else is an Oregon fan supposed to do? Their college team will never (no exaggeration) win a championship and they have no NFL team.
