Starting QB position still open after spring game

I can hear Ed MacMahon cackling on the Couch....

Man, I miss those guys.

Me too...used to lmao...he was the master

Although it is not the answer, the inside and outside read options do give the QB a rather ancillary role---However the peripheral running plays do require some QB wheels but the passing doesn't---This thing has been around for a while now and more teams seem to be using it

Also I am think that the possible keeping of Quale at the guard position could be because of the necessity of the guard's role in the scheme--Now that is a wild guess only because of the huge role that the guard plays in this offense---maybe I am much too long out of the Cox building!!!! lol

But...but...South Al. Haha

It's a tired argument at this point.

I know this is incredible all of the anti-Haack guys make me laugh. Based off of one game, I am not saying Haack is the second coming of Brett Favre, but he is, to me the best QB on the roster. I don't recall everyone ______ing and moaning about Gautier when he had these numbers in one game.

9-16 76 yards 1 TD and 3 INT's. Does anyone remember this first half of what game. Cajuns were 8-2 on the year when this game happened.

2011 at Arkansas State? I was at that game and remember Gautier having a lot issues that night.

--The anti Haack stuff gets old so let's look at it in a different way---It isn't the player that is making the starting decision, it is the offensive scheme

You even have many pro teams now going to the read option

man you get 10 off against 11 def with your passing type QB---If he is a runner it evens out to 11 against 11---but with the read option you get really 11 offensive to the defense's 10

added to this is an extra blocker at the point of attack

So the question might not be so much of a QB ability one as much as a QB running what scheme one is

I doubt that anybody on here thinks that Haack is a better read option QB than Nixon, Davis, or Ray

Sometimes there is like so many things discussed on this board a far deeper explanation!!!

[RaisingCajun08]

Haack is NOT the best running QB on the team. Haack IS THE BEST QB .... period!

I saw absolutely nothing from any other QB on the roster in terms of any ability to pass consistently. Just image what our offense could do with a QB who can throw the ball down field. For as long as I can remember, we have not had a QB that was a true threat. We have had QBs that could run the zone read and complete 5-8 yard passes.

Runs open up passing game and passing game opens up runs. Imagine if we had a passing game what our great running backs would look like.

ding ding ding, we have a winner. Based on that game Gautier should have been benched. In the second half he came out and played great and we almost won. But look if we are basing Haack off the USA game two years ago you guys are crazy. His body of work is very good, outside of that game. He is my starter if I was the coach, but it aint my decision. Coach Hud will make the call. And I am good with that call, since all that Coach Hud has done is go 36-16 in 4 seasons with 4 bowl wins.

And what most are getting wrong is he wasnt even that bad against south Al... He touched the ball 4 times... Had a first down negated by penalty and we were down 17-0 before we blinked. RB fumble and PR fumble inside our 20 cost us 2 scores...the plan for that game failed miserably across the board, team, coaches everything. I said before we kicked off, they are about to kick our azz... They were jacked up and we looked like we couldnt wait to get back on the bus.

----I hope this isn't against my post's thoughts---I base mine on WHAT KIND of offense we want to run where he could/is at a disadvantage with his skills compared to the herd----Also I did mention that he was moved behind Nixon in the Tulane Bowl game----Hey we will keep the wildcats guessing!!!
