Looks like we have a clear cut winner in the DBU debate.

Go back 10 or 15 years and see which teams have the top 10 quarterbacks in the league? One through 10 would be LSU. When Brian Kelly took over the team, he did not keep Cory Raymond the cornerbacks coach and he is now at Florida. That was an actual mistake in my opinion.

At this point how anybody can say that anybody other than Alabama is DBU is just strange and bizarre.

Florida fans have given up trying for the most part, and LSU fans sure as frick need to give it up at this point.

I must have missed those years, because our QB play outside of Burrow wasn’t great.

LSU had good DB’s in 2018/19. Delpit and Sting were exceptional, everyone else adequate. We haven’t been DBU in a while and most of it is Raymond’s fault. Too many misses in recruiting and not a hood enough coach to elevate under talented kids. Ironically , Raymond’s fall began when he whiffed on Surtain. He passed on other kids because he told the staff Surtain was a lock. He also whiffed on Brown. Delpit , Sting, and C Fulton were his only big recruiting wins from 2015—2020. Perfect example is Jay Ward. Great kid. Good player. He was the best DB at LSU for three straight seasons. Solid player, but not dominant. Tolliver, Savion Smith, Ricks—-all busts.

That's because LSU hasn't come close to putting a Les Miles defense on the field since he left. You wanted offense and you got it. But your defense has been chasing ever since.

I like Ahmad Gardner..... He is one of the best lock-downs I have ever seen and he has only been in the NFL for one year. In college he was other worldly. BTW, he was like the 1500 rated player coming out of hs in Detroit.

I think another former State player will break into this ranking next year - Martin Emerson. He was really good for the browns last year and this could be his big breakout year.

Also, keep an eye on Emmanuel Forbes - 1st round pick this year. Size is a bit of concern but the guy was the best cover corner in CFB last year

Please define "King."

Does King mean "historically" or "currently?"

Because right now Alabama has one national title in the last 5 years. And Georgia has 2 in the last 18 months!

CBs are so cyclical. It changes every 24-48 months in the NFL for a myriad of reasons not the least of which are age, injuries, drafts, systems, etc.

Anyone who doesn't understand that having a great DL and Pass Rush game in front of some of these CBs doesn't make a difference ... doesn't understand the game and how it all plays into these player rankings, among other things.

The amount of defensive talent MSU has put into the NFL the past decade is unreal
