2019 Levi Lewis

Do you know when you're wrong? I do. It's when you disagree with me. Now go apologize to your son... and thank your wife for her dominant genes.

He STILL thinks this way.

All I know is Levi made a lot of Moo State fans around me mad when he took them dancing in the second half avoiding those sacks.

I am of the belief Levi will take the huge majority of snaps throughout the season. Reason is what was stated by Red Tails. We would have taken 5 or more sacks on Saturday with any of our other quarterbacks playing. Napier's post game comments to date indicate playing anyone else prior to garbage time has not come close to even being a glimmer of a thought to cross his mind.

Mike, I hope every game remaining on our schedule has ample "garbage time"... for all of the right reasons!

Liberty, liberty, liberty! Watched some of their games with Syracuse. They looked pretty good to me. Well need to play we'll to win.

Stats indicated they struggled on offense but did well on defense. Is that what you thought when you saw them against Syracuse?

[Cajun Soldier]

You set aside the INT to start the first drive (a painful set aside) I thought Levi played well. Do I wish we had a bigger passing threat (arm, accuracy and instinct)? Yes. But Levi is game. I was surprised he didn't take some opportunities to leg some yards. I think it was a coaching edict. He had some obvious opportunities. I believe Napier a) wanted to ensure his continued availability, b) believes we have the skill players not to have needed Levi's legs, and c) MSU probably game planned for a running Levi and we chose not to feed that preparation.

I keep reading "waiting on judging Levi". I'm only judging our coaches on who plays QB. My take right now is that Levi, on balance, is more capable to start than the rest of the group. The future defenses we face are going to have their hands full with our RBs. At a minimum, that State game put some serious confidence in this program. We should pound some folks in the next few games, and judge if our staff and Levi have the intellectual gifts to feed off of the defensive adjustments that chess match adds to open QB runs and wide open WRs downfield.

we judged Hud on this all the time and he won 4 NOB. I think Napier is a great coach for this program. I just don't see us doing anything special with Levi as our QB. We can hide him the next two weeks but what happens after that.

Sounds like the coaching staff believes.

[Cajun Soldier]

Sounds like the coaching staff believes much worse than playing him.

Guess we will recruit 4 more QB's next year after our true QB's transfer after playing behind an athlete playing the QB position. Can't wait until we finally get this position right. But until then I just enjoy my new crappy seats while I watch an empty student section. Sorry still venting about being moved 11 days before the start of the season. One last thing we need a passer not a runner we have 4 pretty good runners.

I watched the game again, while LL is limited, if he can cut out the turnovers and we improve on how we played we will be very hard to beat.

My new predictions
Vs Miss St 28-38 L
vs Liberty W
vs TSU W
@ Ohio W (if we don’t turn the ball over)
@ GaSo W

The remaining games are too far away to predict

vs App St
@ stAte
vs TxSt
@ Coastal
@ South Al
vs Troy
vs ULM

Going into the meat of our schedule we will have a 3 game stretch that will prove who is the class of the Belt this year. I still think we are a year away though.

As far as playing other QBs are concerned, with as much praise as Chandler Fields has gotten from the staff he must be really good. Like ridiculously good and has that IT factor in spades.

What do you consider special?

Everybody wishes we had an option the coaching staff thinks is better than the one they are playing. It’s not the case. Let’s get on board and hope that the deficiencies that are correctable are corrected and we continue to compete. The balance of our opponents should be much closer to our talent level.
