Neither Max Johnson nor TJ Finley were really busts. They both started for 2 SEC teams, which says they outperformed their talent level. That's not busts, they just were never that talented. Our QB recruiting at that time was pretty weak. I never really thought either would start for LSU, much less another SEC team.

Now that is a bust. I know he has mental issues, but what a waste of talent. Saw him play in high school and he earned every bit of the hype. Promising freshman year, then nothing.

Often, mental health issues materialize in the 18-21 year age range. I witnessed it a couple of times with people I grew up with. Arik has a full blown personality disorder and should likely spend a bunch of time in a mental health facility until he figures out a regimen of medicine and therapy that works for him.

Sadly, as is the case more times than not, he'll likely go untreated or poorly treated and end up in prison for a long time. Or homeless.
