    Remember we were missing 6'4 and 6'7 receivers on each side for spring game.

    I'm not sure whether this helps or hurts in the evaluation of each QB in the spring. It certainly hurts their passing productivity... but I'm not sure if not having these targets helped/hurt the best passer... or hurt/helped the worst passer. A big target can make an average QB look good... especially if the defense isn't as jacked up as they will be for a real opponent. But, multiple targets, of all sizes/speeds/positions on the field... is a benefit to a great passing QB.

    We really need to see who is more effective with all of his weapons available. That may not happen until we play game one.

    It helps everyone but it helps the guy who gets through progressions more... He will look past the double covered first option and find the open man. Usually the other guy heaves it into double coverage.

    Haack at QB delivers two things that none of the other candidates can [at this time].

    First: Because he can read his progressions so well, he can distribute the ball on each play to the playmaker with the best opportunity to make something positive happen.

    Second: Because defenses cannot stack the box with Haack at QB, our running backs, especially those not named McGuire, will have a much easier time finding seams and creases to run in, and the one that IS named McGuire will rush for 1500 yards.

    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

    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!!!
