    Saw this today. No further comment necessary:

    "“Remember that this is the same program that was able to hold Beckham (Odell Beckham Jr.) and Jarvis Landry at bay in college,” the scout told NFL.com. “LSU’s quarterbacks stink. Dural gets a projection grade because he just didn’t do enough on tape.”

    Was this scout watching when Beckham and Landry had 1000 yard receiving seasons in the same season at LSU?

    Or did I just stick my foot in a bear trap?

    Les loves wunning backs as much as he hates wabbits.

    That's a great Stat at LSU but means dick how they were actually utilized. The writers sentiment is 100 percent correct.

    That's a comment on overall offensive style, not individual talent. I don't know how you can possibly look at what Beckham or Landry did that year and say you didn't have any real idea what they're capable of. To put it another way, other than Beckham's knack for the circus catch, what do you see of either of them as pros that makes you say, where was that at LSU?

    The first part of the statement has been taken out of context, as it stands makes no sense. The second part is arguable depending on what qbs he is referring to, the third part I agree with.

    If we are being honest here, without those 2 I don't see Les lasting as long as he did, 2013 doesn't have those remarkable stats, and by the end of 2014 I think he would have been canned.

    And Mettenberger. Even OBJ and Landry couldn't have caught the passes Jennings would have thrown at their feet and over their heads.

    He's right they do stink but these two guys played with Mett who was the only bright spot at the position. If our D would have been better Metts second year we would have won more.
