Elijah McGuire

[Just1More]

No doubt he was used in a role that wasn't his strong suit, but who else on this team could have filled that roll besides Nixon (who was trying to be a qb . Next year Nixon better be in the Alonzo roll.

There were other candidates that Hud could have smashed into the wall like he did Eli. If you're so simple-minded (meaning Hud) that you actually thought we had a power run offense... it didn't matter who we stuck in that role. Zo would have failed behind this OL and the 8 defensive players stacked up ready for him as well.

Our offensive talent this past year was made for opening up run lanes for our scat backs, by intelligently designed passing attacks. Hud couldn't shift out of what he wished he could do, to what he should have done.

I'm hoping for Eli to return next year... and Hud to get a lot smarter offensively. That could be a highly productive combination for us... and hopefully Eli's draft stock.

Mind of a 20 year old:
1) ANY draft position is better than being run into a wall for another year!
2) This was just a bad year. I trust my HC, I'm just testing the market to see where I stand.
3) I've been done with this ____ since Akron. These fools are doomed. Later peeps.
4) I realize I need to shine in order to make money coming out of the SBC. I'll stay to improve my stock, even though this coaching staff is ____ing up.

Take your pick.

Elijah has been nothing but a standup young man. 2 or 4 is the smart choices. But you can tell the man was frustrated as a man could be with the year he had. What's insane is...his numbers weren't bad. But we all know what he is capable of...and I'm sure he knows as well. I expect him back in a Cajun uniform. Hopefully someone learned a lesson.

We all know Elijah is a good back but with a mediocre year on a bad team, he doesn't stand out among any of the running backs. Not to mention running backs go later in the draft. I think he comes back and has a great season.

[Turbine]

This is a good way to get as jump on marketing your name for the 2017 draft.

[CajunRed]

I love Eli...but there were several mediocre college defenses that shut him down for the most part. How can that not transfer over to the NFL?

[CoolCajun123]

He will be back. He needs to return and have a good year to boost his draft stock. If he leaves this year then he will be burried on someone's practice squad in the NFL.

[Cajunjeb]

I hope he comes back because his "body" is not NFL ready. Backs in the NFL are big, except for a few. Before the fall starts, he needs to add on more muscle. However, for the Cajuns and for Eli to get back to the success in 13 & 14, they need to get a Zo type back.
