Does Sean hates LSU

jonnyrotten · 05-03-2016, 11:28 AM

Personally I am not an LSU fan and could care less, i just want the right people like we all do.

At this point in time, we all have the luxury of hind sight.

There doesn't have to be some great conspiracy to admit that it's extremely odd how little the Saints ever go after LSU players. I don't want them to take players just because they are local. But when you have a program that puts out that many NFL players, and is right in your back yard where you can easily scout them, it's hard to believe that timing is the only factor.

It's just weird. They don't go after enough SEC players, in general. I don't have any numbers in front of me, but it seems like SEC players have a very high rate of success compared to most, if not all other conferences.

Nothing to see here.........move along.

Now wait... there are 351 Division I colleges, 317 Division II and 455 Division III colleges. Now of those 1123 fine institutions of higher learning, only 55 are represented on the current Saints roster as well as a couple who have no apparent alumnus status with any of them. Now to further math up the subject, there are currently only 43 LSU alumni on NFL rosters. Are we needing some type of Goodellism making certain every college is represented on every team?

Don't be bringing your fancy pants math into this perfectly good conspiracy theory.

It's not a conspiracy theory to say that the Saints almost never pick LSU players. It's not a theory at all.

Yes it is. And it's easily disproven.

Easily disproven? 9 freaking players. We've drafted 8 freaking Ohio State players in the last dozen or so years. Nobody is asking them to draft an LSU player every single year. I'm not even saying they HAVE to draft any. The point was that it's weird. At the height of LSU's program, which has been the last 15 years, they've drafted all but two from there.

There is a strong tendency for teams to bring in local players, at least late in drafts, because they are more familiar those players. It doesn't always happen, but it's not uncommon. It is with the Saints. That is indisputable. And there isn't a thing in the world wrong with pointing it out.

And of those 1123 fine institutions, how many are worth a crap at football? Also, last time I checked, LSU was leading the league in alumni. That isn't counting the numerous players over the years who are no longer in the league, that did not play for the Saints.

It is highly unusual for players from such a high profile program, to have almost zero presence in the ENTIRE HISTORY of the Saints.

If you don't recognize the significance of that, then I guess there's no point in explaining it any further.
