2017: Cajuns quarterback quandary continues

[CajunEXPRESS]

That was in the first game of the 1993 season.

Had they done it at the start of the game we probably win nine games instead of eight, and go to the Navada Bowl. List opportunity. Of course this season is d ad but Hud's crazy thinking we're three wins from NOLA Bowl.

[AstroCajun]

Absolutely not!

I believe Ray refuses to play anything but QB

Wasted scholarship ... if true

[Turbine]

I seem to remember a former UL QB who's redshirt was pulled out of necessity. He was the best we ever had.
I'm not saying Lewis is anything close to Jake, but if the kid is that good and can help us win then I say let him play!

Pulled first game of the season is a different matter.

Hud has stated Ray is a wildcat QB. That's his role on the team. There is nothing wrong with knowing your role on the team and playing it. Having said that I'd like to see them add more to the play book with option plays when Ray is in.

We're apparently in a bind at QB with our 1 & 2...If our 3rd QB is a role player who refuses to move to a position that better suites his skills... it's time to cut him... i don't give a damn if he's a 4 star athlete... means nothing if he's riding the pine pony as an out of position athlete

We are way beyond debating Dion Ray. This is all about Levi Lewis and his redshirt. Dion could not commandeer this team to a win this season. I'm not sure what Levi can do. He wasn't slated all year to be anything other than a redshirt. Now he's supposed to come in and start midseason? Knowing Hud... he'll do it. He's so intoxicated when he sees QBs running like deer... he can't contain himself. He immediately says to himself "I don't have to coach anything... this young athlete will run for me... until he can't anymore... and I'll just keep cashin big checks. Swarm defense! Swarm! I got us a new running QB! We got this! New Orleans... here I come!"

UL Quarterbacks who haven't been "coached up" have a history of coming off the bench and playing above the fray.

I thought Dion Rey was our 3rd QB!!!!! If HUD won't consider starting Rey now that he is in a bind, that tells me all I need to know. HUD is keeping a player at the QB position that can't throw and telling everyone he is the 3rd QB, but can't play him when he needs him in a normal situation that doesn't involve the Wildcat!!!!

If they take the Red Shirt off of Lewis, that is being nothing but selfish on HUD's part.

Rooster dancer, huds job is to win games if he thinks at this point Levi Lewis gives him his best chance to win then put him in. It is not his job to save red shirts or to avoid hurting feelings. It's his job to win. So if Levi is our best QB from here on out and hud keeps the shirt on him, I guess all these folks calling for his head will give him a pass right? You can't have it both ways.

How did that work out against Texas St when we got stopped on two consecutive plays on 3rd & 4th down with only 1 yard to go! If that’s his role and he can’t get 1 yard on two tries, it’s time to find a new role!!! If HUD thinks Rey running the wildcat is that important to his offense, he needs to be successful 100% of the time.

Agree 100%. The o is way too predictable with Ray that's why I say they need to expand the play book with him in. Good concept being utilized horribly.

As is, the concept is one dimensional and 100% predictable making it a bad concept.

Sure we can! LOL!!!

He was late with a touchdown potential pass against stAte. He’s had several opportunities on those special plays. I think he’s made one in two years. Passing isn’t his thing. Maybe we need to run the triple option the rest of the season if Nunez and Davis are banged up
