I mean if you put the most talent into the NFL, then LSU is underachieving at a massive rate. You shouldnt lose a game according to dreaux.

How are Bama players any more "overworked" than any other SEC team's players? 
There are rules about this. The whole premise of the article is fantasy.

I don't have link to Mike Mayock and others stating on television while talking about the draft, but he did. I saw it. If you want to pretend he didn't and I am lying, then fine. That's your prerogative.

You're the one with the number 1 recruiting class every year; according to the recruiting experts, LSU can only recruit a top 5 once every few years, and never number 1. Sounds to me like we are coaching them up and you just plug in 5 stars. You should win every game with the number 1 class 8 years in a row. Add to the fact Saban keeps his upperclassmen and Miles leave early for the NFL.

"Five Alabama players in Mike Mayock's top 100 prospects list"

That is ridiculous and you know it. Several factors go into wins and losses. Some of it is Xs and Os, some of it is Jimmies and Joes, and some of it is just stars aligning.
The number one recruiting class projects how they think someone might do based on camps, etc. It is an inexact science and doesn't account for human error. For example, five star athlete Eddie Williams decides that he wants to be a tPOS. Is that Saban's fault?
Perhaps, but he can't babysit 100 kids.
It also doesn't account for injury. Your starting center or left tackle goes down in a game you're going to be fricked. I don't care if there is a four star behind him if the four star isn't comfortable with the scheme. Plus you go from kids who might face a couple D1 talents in high school to teams that are stacked with D1 talent. There is going to be an adjustment.
Frankly I think Saban has done quite well with 3 titles in 5 years. What has Miles done lately?

As stated before. Six months ago Roland McClain was a bust. Right now he is the odds on favorite to win NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He is going by some Bama players that have been in the league less than three years

How much did LSU pay Patrick Peterson?
It was a solid investment.
How about Leonard Fournette or Malachi Dupre? Are you telling me that they turned down thousands of dollars to live in red stick?

You obviously dont get out much. I challenge you to check out a few Saints Message board. Try going in there saying Mark Ingram Sucks. You probably will not last long. There are pages and pages of Saints Boards right now screaming for the Saints to sign Ingram to a new contract. Many of which also feel his success this year and end of last year will put him out of their price range to resign.
Keep up to date when you jump on the nearest bandwagon and make sure it even has wheels. Because the one you just hopped on is not going anywhere!

They turned down your money fo sho.

Anybody who thinks Ingram will be able to get a huge contract is either a moron or doesn't follow the league. He still has well under two thousand yards rushing in his entire career despite playing in the league 4 or 5 years. For all the talk about how well he has played this year, he still only has 338 yards rushing halfway through the season. More productive running backs were only able to garner contracts worth two or three million per year last year in free agency

Lulz. I'm sure that the REC was offering them tons of cash and they turned it down for the opportunity to play in the Outback Bowl. If we're cheating then you are as well. Otherwise we would never lose a recruiting battle because I don't know of any 18 year old that will turn down $80,000 to live as a broke college student.
I hate Auburn as much as the next guy but if they offered me thousands of dollars on top of my scholarship I'd be yelling "War Eagle!"

are you just randomly naming good LSU players? because what i said is factually true, you were on the verge of the death penalty for buying players, don't make excuses for what you do by pretending everyone else is just as corrupt.
