Starting QB position still open after spring game

[CajunNation]

.... he does not have Blaine Gauthier ability in throwing the deep ball. ....

Very few Cajun QB's have had that.

By the way, the first time we pitch it to Nixon with a Nixon to pass to Haack it will be for a TD. Hope they use it in the 4th Q at Kentucky.

Everyone thinks this is a clear cut deal, I really think Hud is pondering what to do at QB. Haack seems to be the front runner, but hasn't performed that well under the lights. Does that mean he can't get the job done? No, but it remains to be seen. Nixon has Gauthier like abilities, I really thought if Gauthier wasn't suspended he would have seen significant playing time, when Broadway struggled early on last season. Clearly, Davis is the ideal dual threat guy and the future, just probably not ready yet.

87% completion percentage and 179 yards and 2 TDs. I'd say that pretty good under the lights.

wow, didn't know it was that good. He doesn't fit our typical qb situation but I think haack gives us the best chance to win. If he gets hurt, I think Davis fills in okay too.

On the suspension part, did you mean Nixon?

---I think that he did mean Nixon but Gautier was also suspended I think in the off season!!!

He was. This was the whole pot plants on the apartment balcony ordeal. Gautier was suspended along with D-Lew, Gillis, and Chris Richard.

Honestly, if Haack isn't the starter at Kentucky, then the season is already a waste. That means he's either injured for a few games/the year or we've made a terrible decision in sticking with this "Mobile QB" mantra by starting Nixon.

That includes a 40+ yard pass thrown up for grabs that was miraculously caught last season, tell the whole story.

Sorry, I meant Nixon.

Haack has performed well every time he has been called upon with one exception, the start at USA two years ago. Even then, the rest of the team did not help him much that night. Last year, he completed 20 of 23 attempts. I do no think it is appropriate to say he has struggled "under the lights" based upon only one bad outing. We also will adjust the offense to fit his skills. Personally, I believe it is his job to lose in fall camp and I do not think that will occur.

That pass was not thrown up for grabs, but was thrown to the only spot where our player could make a play on it and it could not be intercepted. Yes, the receiver made a great play; but the ball was not just thrown up.

Okay I'm sorry Haack is the second coming of Brett Favre, is that better? I wish the kid all the best, but there is a reason Hud stuck with Broadway through his early season struggles last year. I do agree maybe the offense is revamped to fit his abilities, but I think this offense will be run heavy with McGuire and the other backs. Don't be surprised if one of the more mobile quarterbacks get the nod at some point, that way defenses have another runner to account for.
