It's similar to when Derrick Henry decommitted from UGA in terms of the fan treatment of the situation.
I can see the comparison but DH was a whole lot bigger loss than JL will be. Skill position losses hurt.

It's not exactly the same, but the reaction is very similar. With UGA, the line was "he's probably going to play defense, he doesn't have a position, we'll get Kamara and/Jones now, etc." Now with Alabama, it's "he's easily replaced, not that good, etc."
Fans convince themselves of whatever they need to to rationalize a loss. It's not rocket science and it's not limited to any fan base.

I actually don't agree totally with that. Yes skill positions losses seem to hurt more only because they are more visible and more covered by media. In the SEC teams are obviously built in the trenches. Every OL or DL player lost, hurts just as much as a high profiled skilled position player.
