The OC at the time asked Nelson whether it was more important to save the guy's redshirt or to save his job. I think Stokley chose correctly.Originally Posted by DestinCajun

You are correct, sir. Lets see if Gbaseball knows the answer?Originally Posted by VObserver

History certainly showed he made the right choice. lol!!!Originally Posted by VObserver
Jake played after Utah St put it out of reach and led the Cajuns to a couple of scores. I recall US having a really good QB and being a bowl team after that season.
Actually, we went thru 3 QBs in the first half against Utah State, with 5 interceptions. Stokley said that if Jake was wearing a red ball cap and not a helmet, he would be redshirted. But after the performance of our first 3, Jake was put in. I was at the game and some kid in front of me turned and said "look dad (not to me, grins), Jake from Teurlings is going in the game". I didn't know who Jake was. but I swear to you, when he came in and took over, I instantly said "we have a quarterback". It wasn't just his execution, but his attitude on the field. It never changes.Originally Posted by DestinCajun
MD has the start. But, there is nothing wrong with a little competition.
Just out of curiosity who were the other QBs besides Sanborn and Jake?Originally Posted by Just1More
ACTUALLY MIKE COULD TAKE US 80 YARDS IN ABOUT 8.9 SECONDSOriginally Posted by Hardcore
Help me out. Give me the hint. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if Mike D. was at the helm. The learning curve is huge moving from HS to D-1 ball and the first year is a milestone in that learning curve. However it plays out I hope that all you great Cajun supporters and fans get a chance to share the joy I have experienced over the years watching a truely gifted athelete and individual.Originally Posted by Zeebart21
Hint = Carolina (NFL) in my mind.Originally Posted by Gbbaseball7
First name rhymes with snake.
Last name rhymes with telephone (sort of)
BTW, I can't wait to see your boy suit up for the Cajuns. His video at the recruiting bash was very impressive.
On another note, I don't think that the rap on Desormeaux (that he's a weak passer) is very fair. Of course, I'm bias because I'm a New Iberia native.
That freshman is currently starting for the Carolina panthers. I think if both of our young qb's redshirt it would be good for the program for the future. Give them time to learn the system and mature. However, I doubt they will both redshirt b/c then one would always be behind the other and they would both graduate at the same time. If one redshirts then he will have an extra year to start, giving the team two consecutive years with starting seniors. Best of luck to your son I look forward to seeing him play in the future. Being an athletic qb he is going to be able to learn a lot from Michael and hopefully can maybe teach mike a few tricks himself.Originally Posted by Gbbaseball7
I agree mike can throw the ball plenty good enough. I think he will actually throw the deep ball better than jerry. And since he is left handed the ball has a different spin on it, once the receivers can get used to that I don't think we will see as many drops. With the speed an athleticism we have we don't have to air it out just be able to move the chains on 3rd down. If mike is qb1 Anderson will design the offense to fit his strengths both running and passing. We may even see a 2 qb system. Worked for Florida why not the CajunsOriginally Posted by cajunlove
I would think if our game is a running quarterback we will need at least a two quarterback system. There is a reason quarterbacks are discouraged from running too much. At Florida they were a pass oriented team who also had a quarterback who could run. To keep teams honest you have to be able to throw on any down, and the down you want to throw on would be the best one to throw on, not the one you are forced to throw on.Originally Posted by crazycajun

Well after Stamps graduated, Sampy did okay. But our passing game struggled two years ago. Remember our fantastic ground game? Last year our receivers played much better than they did the previous year, but still had a lot of inconsistency. I feel that the guys we've brought in over the last 3 years are ready to step up and play some ball (in addition to the new coaches) I think we've moved more towards possession recievers (which is a good thing for our intermediate passing attack) and away from pure speed guys where there is a 50\50 shot they will catch it. I just think that we will generally have a more fundamentally sound group of receivers this year which will produce better numbers. That's all.Originally Posted by RaginEsquire06
with hundley being the number 1 rated pro style qb in louisiana coming out of high scool he can air it out while D-Mo can be our tim tebowOriginally Posted by Cajun Express

Its 5 months before kick-off I picked 12-0 baby.
LSUA&M petitions the legislature to force us back to using USL as we are getting more national attention than they are as they struggle through a 5-7 campaign
