I love this.

Yes. We've beaten LSU 3 times in a row - including two complete blowouts, and apparently have fewer NFL players than LSU in the league. Who knew.

LSU has always high level defensive talent. Offensively is a different story. Recruiting and player development on that side have been mediocre.

Beckham Jr. is the first Les Miles recruit that was drafted in the 1st rd in his 9 recruiting classes at LSU. While Bama picks have been spread around evenly, offensively and defensively.

That has been the difference in between the programs. Bama assembles better players on offense. Thus 3 in row over LSU and 21-0 that initiated the decline.

5 years in a row with multiple 1st round picks. How many is it for LSU? Oh, 0. But saying LSU has better players doesn't say much about your coach, then, does it?

Our coach completes the process of taking a recruit and building him into an NFL caliber professional player. Saban doesn't.

That's the brutal truth.

Are we talking about wins? OK Bama wins. Starting players in the NFL? LSU. Period. What else is there to say? Miles is a clown? OK. Saban is an a-hole? OK. And we both love our coaches and will continue to play tough with the home team having an advantage. This is why I love the SEC West!

And yet, our players get the bigger 2nd contract.

Actually, it says that he cares about preparing them for their careers.

Non of your players will get top end second contacts except Peterson. While Julio and Marcel will both crush on their next contracts. Reid and Lacy both have great chances as well if they continue to play well.

Nobody plays the NFL money like Flynn.
