Zo would have struggled with the offensive line we had this year.

---Guess I am getting more defensive than the Cajuns this past year---(did I say that)??? 500 yards total offense ----BTW I think ND added a new dimension to the Z-read---misdirection off of it (Not mine yet as I wait till next year)---hint is 2 QBs in the backfield---Nixon and McGuire---should have gotten it to them sooner!!!1 lol
I can end this whole thread: The answer is no
You know, I used to think this too. I have come to realize that the No Fun League has far more of a corporate mentality than a sports mentality. They are enamored of metrics, and so if it cannot be measured they don't want to hear about it. Although Fenroy (and Eli) have great numbers, those numbers are discounted because of the schedule we play. If you aren't from a P5 conference, you don't get the attention that other players get (with certain obvious and rare exceptions).
Back in the day, Andrew Martin - a DE at USL when the veer was popular - was a hell of a player. He could hit like a mack truck, covered the field like a DB and had fantastic ball instincts. But he was short. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Andy could have played in the NFL, but he received only token rughead tryouts. The NFL could not get past his metrics. If they had ever put pads on him, they might have discovered what he could do.
I certainly do not consider the NFL a statement or an endorsement of how great a player is. Fenroy, Gautier, et al are and will always be fantastic players in my book.
First, Boomer keeps using stupid statistics as the basis for his claims. And they are dumber than dumb when you know the facts behind the statistics (in the Haack versus Nixon debate). Second, do you agree that "our best performances were that of Nixon"? And lastly, if Nixon was even close to the "best performer at QB"... and our existing coaching staff doesn't even use him at QB next year... why is "Boomer the coach" not in agreement with the entire UL coaching staff? Who has more credibility... Boomer or our current coaching staff?
The secret to being someone that wants respect for their credentials is to either say something intelligent or keep your mouth shut. Boomer refuses. MAT wasn't making a direct comparison to Bill Cosby. He was using gross exaggeration. It was funny. And there's never anything wrong with funny.
