Louisiana's 2015 Quarterback Situation

[Turbine]

He was hurt early his senior year. Before he got hurt, people were starting to get tired of watching him struggle and wanted to see what Broadway could do. He never looked that good his senior year. Granted, he didn't play much, but still..

Ah yes the genesis of my QB accuracy weight room theory.

I think you missed the point here. Haack put up the numbers he did in a system that wasn't designed for his skill set. The South AL game is not a fair assessment of his talent level for that exact reason, not to mention the weather was horrible and we put the ball on the ground a lot. If we had a scheme designed for him and an entire offseason to implement it, who's to say it won't work. I don't know who is going to be the starter next year, nor does anyone else, but I think Haack has the inside track.

I've always said Nixon was the better backup to Broadway, but if Haack had an offseason for the offense to be tailored to his skillset, he'd be the more effective QB.

Why does everyone assume jordan davis can't run it and throw it? You know there are QB's who are good at both. He had an offer to latech which is not a zone read... That should tell you a little something about his ability to throw it.

I dont know much about our young QBs. So what you told me is news to me. I'm fine with whatever QB gives us the best chance to win. I just hope that person is someone who is a better thrower than runner because I feel that will benefit us more long term.

Pocket QB's only work when you have elite offensive lineman. I like our guys but they would not be able to provide the time needed to get the ball out aganist elite defensive lineman. This is why NFL offensive lineman are paid a premium.

Bama has been the only national champ to win with a pocket passer over the last 10 years. Winston, Tebow, Leak ,Newton , Flynn....all could move around a bit

College football has changed

Good point. The spread was developed to overcome weaknesses in the trenches.

We had a pretty solid O line last year. But I agree. You need a great o line for that. But that's why I think someone like Haack is perfect for us. He's more of a passer but he definitely has some wheels.

I dont care who it is... I just want to win!!

[Big Buds]

I think it's gonna be Nixon...played great in the '13 NOLA Bowl.

[CrazyCajun]

It could be Dion Ray, Dalvin Populist or Chris Weaver for all we know.

Cajuns lose to Georgia State this year if B-Way doesnt have to go to the locker room for fluids in the fourth quarter.

Haack came in and made the throws to drive the Cajuns down the field to set up theB-Way touchdown "heave."

The only game this season that B-Way made throws like Haack did in that fourth quarter drive was in N.O. against Nevada.

Haack's throws just look so nice leaving his hand. Maybe it is just because we saw him right after watching TB throw. I'm really pulling for Haack because we haven't seen an arm like that in a while at UL. But after seeing Hud insert Nixon into the game right after his suspension I think Hud has his mind made up that Haack will not be starting next year. I hope I'm wrong. Haack will have to just be so dominating in practice that the coaches will have no choice but to play him. I would just hate to see talent like his go to waste.
