Napier on UL QBs: 'It's about who can win the team over'

The Ragin' Cajuns don't plan to add a quarterback on National Signing Day

Lots of good nuggets here. 6 QBs is too many to have on an 85 man roster. Running QBs and longevity are a problem. Accuracy and efficiency are paramount. I take the last point to mean ... "our scheme is going to get folks open, you need to make the right read and a good throw."

My way too early prediction is:

1. Nunez
2. Davis
3. Harrison
4. Lewis
5. Arceneaux

Dion Ray is at a new position.

Agree Davis and Nunez should have the edge. Obviously Spring practice will tell us a lot about the coaches' QB pecking order.

I bet Arceneaux will be taken off scholly and Ray will transfer

I’m getting pretty tired of athletes playing QB. I would love for us to find a darn QB that is athletic and not the other way around.

If your best asset as a QB is your athletic ability and “being able to stretch the defense with your legs”, IMO you aren’t a real QB.

Napier says exactly this in the article.

"Obviously I'm not a big design-quarterback-run guy," said Napier who'll call plays and coach UL's quarterbacks

"You know, it's one thing to be running a play where there's a potential pull for the quarterback to run the ball; it's another thing to really make the guy a pure rusher," he added. "There is a certain durability factor that comes into account there."

This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yup. Its time for Ray to either change positions or move on. He represents the exact opposite of what Napier wants.

Napier will decide who the quarterback is. He will make the right choice. Of that, I am certain.

Could Dion Ray switch to receiver, too crowded in the backfield
