Levi doubters...

Do they release beer sales at the games? I would love to know how many were sold yesterday.

Not trying to change your mind and I have said this multiple times. He did not cost us because is replacements are not as good as him. As I have said repeatedly, it is much more likely we have zero D1 QBs thane multiple. Good players do not sit the bench at UL.

So are you saying we have QB evaluation problem because we have five new ones on our roster

No, I am saying most D1 programs are looking for a QB who can throw, run and not turn the ball over. Most of the kids we have access to are usually limited in one or more aspects. We all know Levi’s limiting factor. Hopefully one of the young guys has less deficiencies once he learns the playbook. IMHO I think we are set at the position. We have a solid upperclassmen playing now and a few intriguing youngsters waiting their turn.
I will also say if one of the young guys was the second coming of Brian Mitchell or Jake, he will be playing significant snaps this year. I know I am a broken record, but good players do not sit the bench at UL.

Don’t start Metry, don’t you know that GOOD PLAYERS DONT SIT THE BENCH AT LOUISIANA!!!!

Fields is a technician ala Drew.

Magalei is a natural passer but lacks experience.

Hawkins has best arm and touch.

McDowell is a total dual threat with arm talent.

Lewis is the field general with intangibles.

We should get a look at a couple of different QB's this week against Texas Southern.

I expect Billy will get back to a 2 QB system for insurance purposes. Lewis is small and his scrambling ability increases risk for injury.

Yes, repeat after me.....

[CajunNation]

... I am saying most D1 programs are looking for a QB who can throw, run and not turn the ball over. Most of the kids we have access to are usually limited in one or more aspects...

... and most FBS programs have zero QBs that excel at all three. If you're not in the very top of the P5 schools, and you want a "dual threat" QB, you will be managing the deficiencies of your QB.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Well said. I'm on the side that he is our best option right now because the others dont know the offence yet. Because he is starting does not mean he has most talent. Qb is what is stopping our offence from being lethal and mlb position is killing our defensive capabilities. But we can only play who is best suited at that time for any given game.

Agreed, but then we’ve gotta question bringing in two juco quarterbacks and neither capable of taking over.

LUCK is a big factor in finding a gem at our level. The more opportunities you bring in, the better chances of striking luck.

That has something to do with it. But I think it has more to do with being able to sign the guy who fits what you want to do as an offense.

LSU is the greatest example of this. Star QBs galore who never amounted to anything. Because they didn’t fit Miles system.

From what I have seen so far, Napier would like to pound the running game and then beat you over the top. Levi can’t do that consistently. LL will still win us 6 more games. But that will be because of the running game and defense.
