QB Brooks Haack Leaves UL for Northwestern

[Just1More]

C'mon now. He was the starting QB for most of our games this year. He had every chance in the world to prove himself in practice and in games.

I've got nothing but respect for him, but he didn't get the job done.

He shoots! He misses!

Go read what you wrote on the Marlin thread about Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons isn't getting it done at LSU. He's been a starter for all of their games this year. He's had every chance to prove himself in practice and in games. I guess the NBA shouldn't take him now... he just isn't getting the job done.

I'm not comparing Ben Simmons and Brooks Haack directly... so don't even start that BS. I just think it's hilarious to read your polar opposite arguments given on the same day.

Best of everything Brooks. Many of us appreciated you and your abilities. I'm extremely sorry you were recruited into an offense that could not support your talents. Please leave knowing that a substantial number of fans knew of your talents, and we admire how you conducted yourself in our program. I know it's no consolation for you, but you did make a much greater contribution than you believe. The intelligent Cajun football fans learned a great deal from your presence in our program.

Go forth and succeed young man!

Amen!

We will never get another kid from Katy high. I wish the kid would have gotten a fair shake

The way it's shaking out, I'm not sure that we will ever get LOCAL kids that we TRUELY want ever again.

---Man come on!!! You guys act like this is the first time in football history there wasn't a matchup of skills and offenses---It is over so lets forget about it and put forth the word of what a great place that our situation now has with our facilities and the rest coming!!! We should break our RCAF record, the baseball deal is working, we have the best academic scores around, we are looking at 20K for enrollment next year, we broke our season ticket sales records, the WBB is rocking, the MBB will be ok, the Spring is the Spring, our campus has turned into a most beautiful setting----and just maybe he didn't have the talent that some thought---best of luck to him and his wonderful family!!! Whew!!!

What does it say about your program when the captain of your team decides he does not want to come back for his senior year?

That your coach has an ego problem.

I'm sure it happens...but not that often...and it usually means someone ____ the bed. Knowing what we all saw of Haack this year...we know who ____ the bed.

Dude, they're two different arguments. You're trying to compare apples to oranges. One argument is "it takes more than one great player to win a basketball game" and the other is "Haack didn't outshine our other QBs."

No one on God's green earth ever said Simmons is failing as a player. He's putting up monster numbers for LSU. The rest of the team isn't, and that's why LSU isn't a good team this year.

Hack obviously didn't have a great O-line, great receivers, or maybe even a great coaching staff to help him. But guess what? Nixon and Davis also had to play under the EXACT same conditions. Did Haack outplay either of them? Nope. Haack's QB rating was lower than Nixon's, he didn't put up monster numbers, and he never made the big plays. Haack was never going to be the guy to lead us back to the promised land.

Haack never got to stay in down by 30 against prevent defenses. He got yanked when he threw an incomplete pass.

You just don't get it, Rebel. Haack was vastly superior as a QB, this year, than anyone in the stable. We were running Nixon and Davis plays if/when we ran a sequence of reasonable plays. That EXACTNESS was the problem. Do you understand that? The offense, in every capacity, was not shifted to help Haack use his talents... and allow our team to succeed. He couldn't put up monster numbers. Jalen and Eli were in the wrong position and the wrong plays were being called. You can't get a shine out of a QB that you smother in ____!

And yes... you actually can stomp other mediocre teams when you have the likes of Ben Simmons. Johnny Jones isn't a good coach. LSU isn't untalented at the other positions. They play exactly zero defense. And they aren't taught how to rebound on either end of the floor.
