Ragin' Cajuns settle on starting quarterback — but only they know

[axg8750]

I do not like the new theme from coaches of keeping the starting qb a secret.

Aside from the obvious drawbacks of creating issues with team chemistry it also looks desperate in my opinion.

I feel like the coaching staff doesn't think that thE Cajuns can win if the opponent is able to game plan for the starter all week. It feels like this coaching staff has lost its MOJO this season on offense. I haven't seen a solid offensive game plan all season and play calling last Saturday was the worst I have seen since Bustle's infamous "run the ball up the middle 3 times in a row."

To me Nixon always seems cool as ice. Seriously, the kid doesn't seem to get rattled. That Tulane game a few years back and the second half vs. UK. I don't know, I just feel like he has the bigger will to win.

Agreed.

Haack had a few good runs this year, most against NWST, but your kidding yourself if you think he can be as much of a run threat as Nixon. Neither were very effective Saturday, but I think Nixon will get the start. He at least deserves a chance to start a game.

14 carries for 83 yards for a 5.9 ypc.
10 carries for 29 yards for a 2.9 ypc.

I'll let you take s guess at whose stats are for wich QB.

Keep your facts out of this...

Per Hud, Brooks was the most affected by last Saturday's loss. I say we give him the reigns and let him go ape-shhyt.

Last week not withstanding, because no one played well, you can't say the team didn't react better to Nixon in game 1. Now, that may be bc of the back up mentality we all know about and would not see it if he started, but there is no doubt he added a spark haack didn't have.

I think he's really talented, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he has it in him to go apeshyt. Would love to be wrong, I just don't see the passion or urgency I want to see in the leader of the team.

I don't need to guess. If you pay attention, most of those came against NWST. Let's see who leads this stat at the end of the season why don't we.

Saw Landor on TV last night with SLU- Could he have been the answer?

Short answer. No.

Why are you guys so damn concerned about which QB should start. Are all of you blind? The effectiveness of our offense has had zero to do, so far, with QB play. There isn't a discernible difference from our vantage point to make any assessment of QBs. Our play calling is the major suspect. Our OL has completely dictated our run and passing lack of success, against anything decent in front of them, and due to bad play calling with our skill people - running a guy meant for space up the gut - Tom Brady and Russell Wilson would look like Abott and Costello. And unless Jamal mans up today... I'd rather he sit the bench.

Again... quit being your girlfriends daughter discussing football. We haven't set any QB up to be anything other than a failure. And anything our coaches do to play "QB mystery week" is a distraction itself. Who cares who starts? Starts? Really? Starts? I care who succeeds. And if you're so ____ sure you can choose that QB right now... you're as confused as our OC... and that's not a good thing.
