I think you are too quick to write off Babb's ability, given that he is threatening a lot of Delhomme's records. Further, Desormeaux is not nearly as polished as Babb. Probably only has a fraction of the playbook and is just now getting the repetitions he needs to read and react.Quote:

Don't get me wrong. I think Desormeaux will be awesome. However, he plays Thursday out of necessity.
I think in the end we both want the same thing. You obviously have watched Mike play before he was a Cajun. I saw both of them play some games in high school. They are both tremendous athletes. When the game starts on Thursday I will be cheering like hell for Mike Desormeaux. I hope he throws for 300 yards runs for 100 and scores 4 touchdowns, however I am not willing to say that the reason we will win games is because Mike is at quaterback and Jerry isnt.
It may be because we are playing an 0-5 FAU team. If Mike would lead us to a win at Arkansas State then thats something different. For people to say that Jerry Babb has taken us as far as he can at QB is ridiculous. I guarantee you if more people would have seen the Middle Tennesse St. game up in Murfressboro two years ago, they would realize what Jerry Babb means to this program. It was not Ross Brupbacher, or even Fred Stamps (although he had a hell of a game) who carried us. Jerry Babb, a freshmen, put the team on his back and would not let them lose. Jerry came in and lead a winless team to their first win after coming back when Rekieta got hurt. I hope Mike does well, but I just don't feel right now that their is a quaterback controversy.
Babb will be the starter, although Mike should see some action in a slash role. Mike did look good at times but his stats says he didn't play all that well--talking about passing stats. His running was off the hook.
Everyone understand that I am not saying that he is better than Babb right now I am saying that he has all the potential in the world and that if that potential comes out sooner as in before Babb comes back and I mean he lights up whoever he plays until then and looks VERY impressive then we should stick with him. If he doesn't then obviously Babb is more experienced and should regain his spot. I just believe he has the POTENTIAL to be better than Babb it all just depends when he becomes comfortable and can make the right reads the raw talent is there.Quote:

SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT HE WAS FARTHER ALONG THAN THE WAY HE PLAYED LAST NIGHT OR MAYBE I JUST OVERLOOKED BABB'S TALENT.
GOOD LUCK CAJUNS I WILL BE WATCHING NEXT WEEK
Easy dude!! :) Everyone struggled last night.. Trust me, there is enough blame to go around... None of its your fault.. LOL!!!Quote:

D-Mo did struggle last night, but the recievers have to help him out. In the first half he was putting the ball in their hands and they were dropping it...in the first half. After that most of his passes were not close.
no doubt...Quote:

Senior running back Dwight Lindon was on hand in 2003 when Jerry Babb stepped in as a redshirt freshman quarterback for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns.
Now, with Babb sidelined by a shoulder injury, Michael Desormeaux is in that position for the Cajuns as they try to rebound from a 1-4 season start.
"There's no way to compare the two," Lindon said. "I will say that the mistakes Michael makes now, Jerry made the same mistakes in the past.
"He's just going through growing pains right now. Once he gets through that position, he'll be all right."
While he's growing into the job, Desormeaux still has the presence he needs in the huddle.

"In the huddle, he's in full control, regardless of what class he's in," Lindon said. "Our job is to try to boost his confidence."
Desormeaux's first start featured a pair of early scoring drives, followed by offensive problems, in last Thursday's 28-10 home loss to Sun Belt Conference foe Florida Atlantic.
"That was a hard feeling," Lindon said. "We came into that game knowing that if we played hard we could get the job done. The first part of the game went well, then in the middle part we hurt ourselves with mistakes.
"We've got a lot of work to do. What we're going through right now will test the character of this team. We just have to take each day as it comes."
