Nixon growing into role as Cajuns starting QB

[Turbine]

---Yea both QBs weren't given an equal shot---one got to start the early games and given the opportunity to lead us on offense!!!

Thrown to the Wolves without a game plan has never heretofore meant "equal shot"

Not so fast my friend

How many pass interference calls that could have been made that prevented catchable balls

How many balls were thrown away eliminating a sack---As was mentioned in the paper, how many busted routes were run---I don't know the total figure but the stats when these are taken into consideration tend to rectify the numbers a bit---no doubt he had some bad throws, but a double over 200 yards is damn good---Do you realize how hard it is to run for 100 yards and combine that with the passing---Only his 3rd game, give the kid a chance, as the more reps he gets the better he is going to be!!!!

His great play has led us to how many wins? I don't care what his stats were, we lost the game because of his inability to pass the ball. Quit looking at athleticism for once. The kid is not a collegiate level QB. He isn't good enough to start at McNeese, SLU, ULM, La Tech or Tulane yet he starts for us. The kid is a damn running back. Aaron Brooks lite is what we have.

If Hud is so dead set against Haack then go with Davis or Weaver. Commit to the future,because it's clear that he is t committed to winning right now.

We will finish up 5-7 with this type of play.

There's nothing equal about the two QBs in question. And there's certainly nothing equal about the teams each has seen this season. At this point, the QBs are so not the major problem, it really makes no difference which one Hud throws to the wolves. But to pretend a QB is capable of showing off his skills in this system this year... is silly... much less that the failed system is "equal" against unequal opposition.

Bottom line: Jay Johnson has to go

Nixon has 1 win against Haacks 0 wins.

Not saying anything for or against eithe QB but I do believe Haack lead us to victory against NW, now maybe you are not counting FCS programs. Again not trying to be argumentative.

Also before Tuesday night's game these were there stats. Look at both passing and running, nearly identical.

No, you're 100% correct Melrock.

Like you, I'm not advocating for Nixon. Only pointing out that C4L doesn't recognize victories against schools outside of UL's division of play. So according to his own standards, Haack is winless. That's a key stat.

Ok, if you think so. 17 for 44, keep defending the indefensible.

Duggie, you bring basketball into your argument just goes to show how weak it is.

Bottom line: Jay Johnson has to go

After seeing the play calling in 2011 & 2012 compared to 2015 I'd be willing to bet money that Jay Johnson isn't calling the plays.

Nixon is the 10th best QB is the Sun Belt.
