Luck set the NFL record for rookie passing yards and single handedly took that team from garbage to the playoffs.
To be fair, RG3 also took a garbage team to the playoffs. RG3 may have had less passing yards, but passing yards don't mean much when you throw nearly 50 times a game like Luck does. RG3 was dramatically more efficient, and his touchdown to interception ratio was insane. Those are both much better measurements than passing yards.

You're crazy. We start true freshman like its our job.

The argument is that they motivated through game time reservation, while being hardasses in practice. Like Les. How did you miss that?

As did I early referencing Bear Bryant. I'd add Tom Landry, Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Mike Holmgren, Tony Dungy as coaches who showed restraint on the sidelines.
But that doesn't confirm the insane side of the argument! Those guys just got lucky! Like Les! /s
quote:
Any my point is that Les' strength was his ability to get his players to run through walls for him and energized on the field.
Yes, but he's never done that through sideline theatrics. That's my point.
quote:
I honestly think we only had the success we did in 2011 because Les' hand was forced on several aspects for most of the season until he decided to force his hand at the end.
That is honestly one of the strangest arguments I've ever heard. So the entirety of the year was Les doing things he didn't want to do, except the game that we lost? How can any sane person justify that point? He gets no credit for the exceptional season, but gets blame for the one loss? Are you that stupid?
quote:
Further, if Les is such a great recruiter as many claim
Well, he obviously is, or else such an "idiot" coach wouldn't win very much, right?
quote:
If anything, Les' failure in 2012 recruiting
Wait, were you expecting redshirt freshmen and true sophomores to be SEC elite? That seems naive.
quote:
Chavis' defense is only great when it has studs and Ron Cooper as a DB coach.
Well, yea. Studs make for a great defense. How many of the elite defenses at Tennessee did Chavis have Cooper with? Or, again, maybe you could point to the fact that our defense is young as hell...
quote:
This isn't the case at LSU and no class Les has ever recruited can touch some of those classes Wooden had at UCLA during their run.
That's fair.
quote:
Basketball is also an entirely different game than football, and Wooden wasn't Daddy Dale. He was a very good tactitioner but not the greatest.
Seriously, are you questioning the most successful college basketball coach ever? I know that basketball and football are different, but don't motivational techniques remain similar?
My whole point was that a reserved sideline presence is not an example of per se bad coaching. I used one of the greatest coaches of sports (all of sports) to try to prove that, but apparently that's not good enough.
quote:
and counting his outlier year
Which one is the outlier? 2011 or 2007?
quote:
blaming lack of talent on LSU for our defensive woes
Well, it's objectively true that we lost a lot on defense. Do you think that Chavis somehow lost his ability to coach a defense, or do you think that maybe the easier answer is that we are pretty young there now?
quote:
I've never seen a head coach ever show as little emotion as Miles does now during the game.
John Wooden was the most successful college basketball coach ever. Every game, he sat with a rolled up newspaper and said nothing.
There is no "correct" coaching style. Just good or bad coaches.
quote:
I do not mind a 10-11 win season if that's the talent we have.
Well... that's the kind of talent we have this year.
Damn that is an awful way for this offense to play. We aren't Oregon, nor should we want to be.
We should line up and run a pro offense. Run counters, tosses, iso dives, and then play action. If Mett had hit on half of the deep play action passes this year we would have scored 100 more points. I think he will hit those this year. Don't get me wrong, we need more creativity on offense, but that doesn't mean abandoning the strong running offense we have, it just means helping the passing O more.

re: If Andrew Luck Wins the Rookie of the Year

2 wins to 9 wins
Nuff said.
That's a fair point. (Even though wins are a team stat, not a player stat)
But you are kidding yourself if you think the Colts and Redskins played comparable schedules. The Colts schedule is a joke. Tennessee twice. Jacksonville twice. Miami, Minnesota, Cleveland, N.Y. Jets, Buffalo, Detroit.
Here are his results against teams that actually can win games:
41-21 Loss to Chicago
27-30 Win over Green Bay (Not bad)
59-24 Loss to New England
29-17 Loss to Houston
A really glaring loss: 35-9 to the Jets.
They are guaranteed one more win when they play the damn chiefs.
The Skins, on the other hand, have played the Giants twice, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas, Atlanta, and will play the Cowboys again.
Luck has played 4 goods teams, while the Skins have played 6. I think that should cover the discrepency in the records of the two, which is only different by one game.
Also, the Skins have yet to lose a game by 35, or 26, their biggest margin of loss being 15.
I just thought we should get all that shite straightened out if you really want to use a team stat to argue that Luck has had a better year, which based on player stats he hasn't

none of these schools have the built in recruiting LSU does
Wait, you don't think that USC, Bama, Florida, Texas, and Miami have recruiting bases as good as LSU? Are you retarded? California, Texas, and Florida have huge talent wells, the per capita doesn't matter when you can just choose the best 25 out of the 100 talented players.
This is a huge problem with our fanbase, in my opinion. We believe we are so much more talented than any other team, even though we are equal in talent to teams like Bama, Florida, and Georgia. The talent gap isn't nearly as big as you think.

re: 15 Reasons Tim Burton’s Batman is Better Than Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight

The plot of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight could not, I repeat COULD NOT, happen in the real world. Why should The Dark Knight Rises then be held up to this impossible standard?
Right, but why use the word, "realistic," as a defense? The Nolan movies are just as based in comic book shenanigans as any other superhero movie, but for some reason people tell me that they are intelligent because they are "realistic."
Realistic isn't a vague word, where there are different interpretations. It's pretty damn specific.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the Nolan movies, and I really enjoy the Burton ones. Both are ridiculous comic book stories, and both entertain. I just don't think that the Nolan movies deserve the accolades that they receive, because the truth is that they aren't realistic, or intelligent. They are just well made comic book movies.
quote:
By realistic, we mean that Nolan has grounded Batman in such away that it looks feasible for him to exist.
Well, no, nothing about his movies makes Batman look like a character that could feasibly exist.

re: How can anyone hate Lebron James after tonight?

I still think the guy is a bit too egocentric, but I do respect him a lot after this year. He was all class this series, and he played his arse off.
I think the problem people have is with his fans. He shouldn't be in the top ten players discussion, yet. He will be, he just shouldn't be there yet.
