These Levi Lewis discussions are baffling. Since I have been following UL 40 years ago they have had a handful of good QBs. Other than Delhomme, none would be considered excellent passers and all had major limitations in their skill set. Most of our successful QBs were a big part of the run game and except for Mitchell all got hurt at some point in their careers. This year we lost the first game because of turnovers (two his fault) and the second game because we got whipped upfront.
Bottom line, Lewis is not holding this team back. He is a big part of their success. While a few here continue to poke holes in his game he will most likely go down as one of the best QBs this school has ever had.
I would have said, "most successful".
"Best" is a judgement call. You are asking for further hole picking when you use that word.
How about all of us just drop this. It is pointless to discuss this right now. Our alma mater is gunning for a national ranking. Let's just enjoy this ride fellas.
The redshirt thing isnt a true limitation anyway with the 4 game rule.
Fair enough. He is already successful, but needs more performances like last week to be considered one of the best. I have a feeling this will never be dropped because a lot of “expert” talent evaluators on this site said he is not good enough to move us forward. I strongly suspect when he has a poor game (and he will have at least one over the next year and a half), a bunch of people here will crawl out of the woodwork to say he needs to be replaced. It is what it is, but I for one am enjoying this season and this team.
I just hope he plays out his eligibility. He had originally said he would not be here for his senior year, but that was under Hud. Maybe he will stay since the prospects are even encouraging for doing something special next season.
