Louisiana's 2015 Quarterback Situation

[CrazyCajun]

Neither of those were mid majors.

True dat

Maybe so and you may be right. Name one that sat on the bench for 3 years at a mid major (G5) and then was a starter or back up in NFL?

Not a mid major, but Matt Cassel never started a game in college and was an NFL starter.

No, but some of you on here have watched the game from the stands all your life and think you know what's going on. Kevin Foote touched on it a few weeks ago after a Saints loss, our fan base as a whole has a very low football IQ.

Astrophysics isn't learned in outer space, C4L. The monkeys sent out there didn't come back with the secrets of the universe. Chess pieces aren't the brains behind chess either. And Kevin Foote isn't our football IQ tester. The Southern game wasn't the UL fan base's reasoning behind beating Tech handily. And you know that. And if our coaching staff had approached the season better, that Tech game would have been a different story. Coaching screwed us in that game... and every one of them played as much football or more than you.

Now, you know I've been big on a ball distribution QB. But don't get defensive because you're getting BandWagonKing-ish on Haack. You're leaping a body of work that just hasn't happened yet.

I will stand by my statements regarding Haack. I will be proven correct when the time gets here. He may never start a game for us, but it will be because of offensive philosophy not skill that keeps him from starting.

If he does get to start there will be ups and downs, but he will be very successful here. That success and talent will land him on an NFL roster. He probably won't get drafted but he will be an UDFA and get his shot.

If he stays here or goes somewhere else, he will approach 6000 yards and 50 TDs.

I hope you're right... but if we don't showcase Haack next year... given your belief in his skills... because we chose an "offensive philosophy" that keeps him on the bench... an NFL QB... then the college football players turned UL coaches have a lower football IQ than a box of rocks. Wouldn't you say?

Again, I'm not going to deny he'll be as good as you say, any more than I'll argue with Kyle that McGuire will be eating dinner at the Heisman ceremony. That's outside of my prognostication skills. But, that doesn't mean it won't happen.

I'm just having fun with you. You started sounding cocky for a guy that spills his beer in the stands... where all of the low football IQ people congregate.

[KajunKrazy]

I think tannehill for the dolphins, metenberger for the titans are 2 others.

I rest my case, the fact that we can come up with none and people on here are anointing Haack an NFL QB is preposterous. Trust me if he were "special" he would not have been on the bench/ redshirting for 3 years at a sunbelt school.

Having said that I am not pulling against or for any QB. If Haack is the next Brett Farve I will gladly eat crow. I just don't see it

I know, and I didn't take offense. Hud will play the QB he wants to play in order to execute his scheme. Barry Switzer did it at OU and Troy Aikman transferred out because he wasn't going to play.

Haack is a stud, he just met not be what they want in a QB. But with the personnel we have returning, we have the opportunity to score a butt load of points.

I'm in agreement that we have the skill players next year that scream smart ball distribution. It may seem strange to say, but losing Harris is one of the best promotions for slanting the offense toward much more "ball in space" allocation. We can't expect to pound the pill and wear teams down. And our staff would be stupid to expose Elijah to excessive pounding. We need a gifted passer. A guy that can see the field... and drop the ball in spots only the intended receiver can touch. It's beautiful when it happens. And I think our skill people are set up for it. I'd love to be realigning our playbook around McGuire, Robinson, Scott, Fuselier, Riles, Johnson, Barnes, and others battling for PT... for spreading the ball with flipping, dinking, dunking, slinging, gunning, and bombing. I think it should be Haack's job to lose.

I'm not saying he is, was just trying to answer the trivia question
