2019 Levi Lewis

[CajunEXPRESS]

Clearly nobody behind him has shown themselves to be better, or better enough to lose a red shirt year. Just because they’re not playing doesn’t mean they’re not better.

I think it does.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Lots of reasons go into these decisions. A freshman marginally better isn’t going to take his place this year. Coaches just don’t do that unless it’s Alabama in a national championship game.

I think it does.

I think Express meant that other QB's not playing now does not mean they will not be better than Lewis in the future. I think he understands they are not better than he right now.

Not necessarily Mike. See my comments about the Alabama situation a couple years back. Saban decided the championship was worth the red shirt. We’re talking a half game if my memory is accurate.

People who went to practice during summer workouts said Levi was clearly the best QB we had on the roster. Now, the two rookies likely improved greatly since then but who knows where they stand compared to Levi.

I doubt that Napier would not play a better QB this year because he is concerned that, four years from now, he might wish he had that QB for a fifth year.

Again see Alabama title game 2017. Saban decided to put in the freshman killing his red shirt.

I’m not saying anyone is currently better. I’m saying they’d have to be heard and shoulders better to unseat Levi, not marginally better.

NOBODY is unseating Levi.

NOBODY is unseating Levi.

I agree. And why would they. I seriously doubt that anyone one on the current roster would have produced a better record (or even similar record) for the Cajuns this year other than Levi. And I don't see anyone else unseating Levi next year unless Napier signs the next coming of Payton Manning, Joe Burrows or Tua! I was also skeptical of Levi at the start of the season, but I can no longer deny what my eyes are seeing and the actual win loss totals for the Cajuns. I think Napier has already proved in his short time here that the best players will see action. And sense Levi is the starting QB, he is apparently the unquestionable best QB currently on the roster. I am also confident that this staff is already grooming the next potential QB, but apparently that person has not yet surpassed Levi in their ability to lead the Cajuns.
