It is important to find expert opinions and share them for SEC Rant discussion.

Eric Dickerson helped provide information to Ricky Seals Jones recently.

quote:

"Ricky's a receiver," Dickerson said. "Texas A&M has coach (Kevin) Sumlin, who is committed to throwing the ball and running a pro-style offense. I've got NFL friends who went to LSU, who love LSU football, but even they told me a receiver today should go to Texas A&M over LSU."


I wish we all had enough football expertise to know if Dickerson is correct. But most of us don't, so we should probably just take his word for it.

Dickerson is a badass but guys are going to come in here and say he is full of shite. He's right though, it's like saying if you're a DB you should go to LSU over A&M.

If 2009-2011 taught us anything, he's right. Until LSU proves it can field a competent vertical passing game, a receiver should go to a lot of schools over LSU.

ED just feels guilty about the free car I think

Whatever a receiver does at A&M for the next few years will be credited to Johnny Football instead of the receiver.

LSU has been putting quality receivers into the NFL regularly for a decade now

Have you watched LSU's passing game since Flynn left?

Possible, but Swope seems to be getting a good amount of attention despite playing with Tannehill and Manziel.

I wouldnt 100% disagree with that but it's not like LSU has had problems getting receivers drafted.

Poor old Russell Shepard could have benefitted from this awesome knowledge from Dickerson.

We aired the ball out a lot in '08 too, but a lot of interceptions came with it.

Randle was probably the best receiver in the conference his junior season.

He said, she said.

Doesn't matter anyways. We've locked up our solid WRs for this year and will next year too. Don't be jelly.

Does Kevin Sumlin have any receivers in the NFL?
Does Texas A&M have any receivers in the NFL?

I wonder what he told Ricky was the key to beating LSU since, you know, that didn't happen and all.

This isn't about that. A&M could get all the top ranked receivers in the world and it still might be 5 years before they sneak in a win over LSU.

No he won't, but it won't stop you from trolling.
