you skipped half the sentence you silly goose.


Mainly because I think it pretty arrogant that the supposed "best SEC QB of all-time" would automatically go #1 in the draft. The SEC has turned out some fairly solid QBs but only one of them is in the tGOAT discussion (Peyton Manning). Tim Tebow was inarguably the GOAT SEC QB for a time and he went #25 in the 2010 NFL Draft. Sam Bradford went #1.

You would think that, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately for him, the best SEC WR of all-time was on the same team.

But the best SEC QB of all time DID go #1. In fact, he went number 1 in every award and game a QB can go in.

What do you laugh at? DeVonta Smith has a Heisman Trophy, unanimous 1st Team All-America honors, the SEC record for career receiving yards, the SEC record for receiving yards in a season, the SEC record for receiving touchdowns in a career, and the SEC record for receiving touchdowns in a season. If he isn't the GOAT SEC WR then who is?

I suppose an argument can still be made for Peyton Manning though he didn't win a national championship at Tennessee. My money is still on Tim Tebow.

The title 9 stuff  I mean frankly the worst that can happen sports wise is that a guy who this board derides as an idiot who lucked into a title gets fired for cause with no buy out.....

Are you confident that's the worst that can happen?

But We get to watch you ‘not care’ about LSU.

LSU is ‘not on your mind’.


It’s Goodman.

Mac Jones should be the #1 pick then. Wayyy better than Burrow. Its to be expected right?


That's sort of a silly year-to-year comparison.

Makes me sort of wonder... then, why wasn't Chase up on that stage beside Burrow as a top three Heisman finalist? I mean... he wasn't even in the top ten! Nor was any other LSU receiver. How in the world did Joe manage to get all those yards and completions without help? Chase had a STELLAR year in 2019.

And if the physical specimen named Trevor Lawrence was in the same draft as Joe Burrow, do you think Burrow would still go first in the draft? Maybe so but I'm guessing... not. But hey, that's just my opinion. That plus three bucks might get you a cuppa java somewhere.

The bottom line is that the NFL draft is tied to potential and not always performance. Sometimes it is, but not always. The same reason that Devonta Smith won the Heisman this year is the EXACT SAME REASON that Joe Burrow won the Heisman last year.

That is NOT the same reason that Joe Burrow was drafted first last year and the reason that Trevor Lawrence will be drafted first this year. And it's the same reason that Chase will be drafted in the top 10 of the NFL draft THIS year despite having a ZERO year of production.

These two reasons of performance and potential are not equivalent but people tend to confuse them all the time.

It must really suck to be an LSU fan right now .

In football, we've gone 30-8 the past 3 seasons that includes a Heisman, our 3rd Natty in 17 seasons, and one of the most dominant teams in NCAA history

In basketball, we've gone 68-27 the past 3 seasons, have more wins than any other SEC team, and have won games in back to back NCAAT for the first time since the 80s

In baseball, if we finish under .500 in SEC play this year, it will be the 5th time that has happened in the last 35 seasons.

Yeah, it sucks so much

I’m assuming he was laughing at your logic of Smith took it from Jones.

I do think he’s the GOAT SEC WR based on his overall body of work.

I understand that logic and sensible discourse might be a challenge for some.

You want that spiral bound or in a three-ring binder? Should I include a table of contents and outline so you can just graze the high points?

Not really, more like I have spent a lot of time trying to explain logical and common sense stuff to the intellectually challenged.

I have probably wasted my time even trying.

First sentence is nonsense, yet your second one is certainly true
