QB Hawkins Ruled Eligible

[angeleast]

Tell you what T, I'll make sure the school includes that quote right next to Andre's picture and name in the record books.

He quarterbacked this school to a Conference Championship Game and a Bowl Game, all the while writing his name in the record books for single season and career individual stats.

Yeah, he was no good. If you don't win the league and if you don't break individual records while winning the league, you are not a good QB. Is that the idea?

Be sure to tell that to our incoming recruits. Don't want them to get the wrong idea.

I really dont think T is dogging him. Just purely talent evaluation and the ability to be an all round college qb. We all appreciate what Andre did for us.

Emotional nonsense!

He quarterbacked this school to a Conference Championship Game and a Bowl Game, all the while writing his name in the record books for single season and career individual stats.

Yes he did and he managed the offense of a 7-6 team. In that entire season, he was adequate to bad in the games against best in the SBC. He didn't make plays with his arm or legs against the best teams. Are you denying that fact, or you going to tell me how much your feelings were hurt because I don't regard him as a good QB? If stats matter, all stats matter including when and how those numbers were achieved.

Yeah, he was no good. If you don't win the league and if you don't break individual records while winning the league, you are not a good QB. Is that the idea?

Again, emotional nonsense! I said he was an adequate QB and he wasn't good against the best in the SBC. What is your definition of good?

Be sure to tell that to our incoming recruits. Don't want them to get the wrong idea.

Hopefully they are going to tell incoming freshmen that a SBC Championship is the goal and Broadmore and Gauthier set the standard defeating teams in bowl games while being considered underdogs and winning MVPS of the New Orleans Bowl.

Exactly! Regardless of his emotional rantings, the film doesn't lie. He gave it his all and was respected by his teammates. On a talent level, he is not the type of athlete that will elevate your program and when he had opportunities to do it against the best teams in the SBC conference, his performance and the team were not good enough.

Nunez had 20 TD's last year. That is 2nd all time here only behind Blaine's 23 in 2011.

His completion% last year was 63.41

His completion% for his career was 63.0 That is 2nd all time only behind Blaine at 63.7

In spite of only playing less than a year and a half for the Cajuns, Nunez finished 10th all time, on the Career total yardage passing list with 3,055 yards.

You guys who say Nunez was anything other than a good QB need to give it a rest.

Truly a testament to how little we’ve gotten out of the QB position in the past. He was an average sun belt QB.

Can't we just wait two weeks and have some play to evaluate rather than impose an evaluation upon play that has not even happened?

C'mon folks, we had a much better than expected year last year and a year that may have been classified as a HR had we not dropped the Coastal game (which took the wind out of the evaluation sails before the good part got played).

We had record recruiting, are on the way to another great requiring year and we still have in place a great staff.

Let's play a few this season before the "world is falling apart" analysis comes rushing in, can we?

Imagine what the stats would look like if they all played for the same HC and OC and all had the same 10 guys around them. Then really think about how stats don’t really say ___ when comparing guys from different eras and teams.

If Magalei, McDowell, Kalbacher, Fields, Hawkins and Gibson, can't perform better than what we saw last year, then there is something wrong with our recruiting of QB's.

if this was in a vacuum, this comparison would be accurate, however the actual comparison is can those QB's be better than the 1 years later, 2019 version, head coach stated improved Levi. No one has the answer to that at this point in time. no matter what his play was last year. the comparison is and should be about this year.

Not a chance in hell Lewis starts over Hawkins. Give the newcomer 2 weeks. That's all he needs.
I'm fired up! Let's GEAUX!!!!

......About 17 days left....big scrimmages remain to judge game type conditions of command of offense both mentally and physically (hopefully no injuries)....yes decisions will be made prior to the 17 days for our order/rotation, but it’s a long season and even early evaluations can influence coaches calls!

Are you re-thinking this position after Saturday's scrimmage?
