re: Report: Shea Patterson's brother resigns from LSU

I've seen Corky Thatcher do that. I guess he's good.

honestly, I think shea will be better than both of them right out the gate. early enrollee too so you have to take that into account.

Great pick up on Sean Patterson.

Gee I wonder where he can find a job? ??

The only reason this kid signed with us is because we hired his brother, correct?

It isn't the only reason he committed, but it is not a coincidence that his brother will be joining the admin staff at OM. Shea also has expressed the desire to play early and apparently isn't eager to join a team with other highly rated guys he has to compete with. Hugh runs a high school offense that fits what Shea has been running and he is comfortable with it. Not sure if this will help him develop into a high NFL draft pick. Time will tell.

Ok. But his brother was already previously hired by LSU? Ok again. What does this entail? Was he given a much better job by Ole Miss? They were both administrative jobs right? How much better could the Ole Miss offer have been? Since LSU had already shown they were willing to play the game and hire the brother, why didn't they up the ante?

From what I can piece together, this all changed when Shea and Feleipe camped together at LSU last summer.
The LSU staff felt that Feleipe fits the LSU offense better and was not willing to ask Feleipe to quietly look elsewhere so the door would be opened for Shea to be the only QB in the class. I know it is hard for people to believe that Cam Cameron (who has worked closely with Brees, Rivers, Flacco) would not take the word of the experts at Rivals and 247sports as to who is the better QB prospect.

I'm just confused how LSU let the best player in the state leave for a rival school.

Once again, if you take the ratings of Rivals and 247sports as gospel then you will remained confused.
I saw some of the clips of Shea and Feleipe at the LSU camp and Shea looked like a 12 year old boy next to Feleipe. I'm sure you can find a clip of them throwing next to each other if you look for it.

What offense?

What offense?

The same offense that ran the ball down the throat of the Black Bear defense when a perfect season was on the line and they were helpless to stop it. The same offense that produced maybe the greatest rookie class in NFL history with Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and Jeremy Hill.

Funny that you would make fun of the offense of LSU, considering OM scored 7 against LSU, 0 at Arkansas and
3 on TCU in the bowl game.

I tried to give the guy a somewhat straightforward answer, but if you want to be a smartass, you've found the right guy to party with.

I think you're full of shite

He's not, both were in camp at the same time and LSU offered Franks before Patterson. I very specifically remember talking about the camp when it happened last year and Sonny and Shea said both QBs were the best at the camp but Franks was better at that time. This is before either QB was committed anywhere.

Look, both are really really good QBs. I dont see any reason why this stupid shite has to be drug out over and over and over.

Patterson is not a native LA kid so folks just need to get over it on both sides. We both got our QBs we wanted.

Plan B

Because he's respectful of any and all colleges that were interested in him?
