Levi Lewis on 2021: 'I'm coming back'

[SlickRick]

App Qb, Zac Thomas. He's a stud.

The RF, McCall at coastal is a star in the making.

But, I'm good with Levi. He isn't playing at the same level as he finished the season last year. He doesn't have the run game we had last year, and he had to break in several young receivers too. I don't think our play calling has helped him at times this season. I think we need to start a game throwing first to set up the run. We did that at tx state and were up 14-0 early. Need to mix it up a bit.

[MetryCajun]

Yep. I’m waiting on that list. For your sake I’ll give you mine.

Jake
Brian
LEVI
Broadway
Gautier
Dez
Babb

Just so you know. I never witnessed Brian play. Or anyone else before him.

Good list. I would put Brian ahead of Jake. Btw, everyone should take a look at Jake's career stats. I know the game has changed, but if Lewis had Jake's stats he would be riding the bench.
Some people here are forgetting what caliber of QB's a team like UL can attract. All have flaws and/or are not the prototypical size. Like many, I wish Levi would run more, but the dude is small. All of the running QB's we have had other than Mitchell could never make it through a season... and they were all much bigger.
Like someone else said, I see him playing better in spurts. It is just hard when the OL and WR are not as good as last year. Going forward I think Levi will need to run 5-7 times a game to keep defenses honest. We do not have the talent this year to just line up and impose our will on the other team.

Please for my sake. Name your entire list of Cajun QBs better than Levi

Thanks

PS just so you know. Des was my favorite QB ever. But if you say his name you lose all credibility

Well...now that you mention it. "Everyone gets extra year whether they played or not".. Lol

Yep. I’m waiting on that list. For your sake I’ll give you mine.

Jake
Brian
LEVI
Broadway
Gautier
Dez
Babb

Just so you know. I never witnessed Brian play. Or anyone else before him.

Brian Mitchell...flashbacks seeing a #1 run through a defense
Roy Henry...Gunslinger, with attitude

[cajuns80]

Another question for the haters? Name the current QBs in the sunbelt you would take over Levi?

Zac Thomas
McCall
Both QBs at Arkansas State

Those off the top of my head for sure

[Esqueleto]

Zac Thomas
McCall
Both QBs at Arkansas State

Those off the top of my head for sure

And the freshman QB at GA State.

Turbine, Thank you for cleaning up the post a bit. It did cut off the end ratings though.

[ULGrad@HOU]

Sorry, that didn't post like I wanted.

It's messy looking, I know. This is taken from just the Sun Belt on Passer Rating, top is best. Stats don't tell the whole story, but it does give insight to it.

Different things can be taken from the same set of stats. I know, you are trying to make a case for pass efficiency but, as you said, a number of teams share QB duties. All the players above LL in efficiency have many less pass attempts which will always tend to trend efficiency higher.

Mitchell - our offense would rush for a billion yards with him at the helm and the backs we have
Jake - Threw way more picks as a Cajun then people seem to remember, but he was the best pure QB we have ever had. As evidenced by the fact he was one more possession from winning a Superbowl ring at QB.
Dez - I guess I lose credibility with the poster above, but like #1, we would rush for an ungodly amount of yards with him at QB and the backs/line we have. I also think his passing stats would be better now. Dez was just one of my favorite players to watch ever, a warrior.
Levi - discussed ad naseum. Dude just wins, and makes very few big mistakes. I get some of the criticism, I just don't get the depth of dislike some have for him.
Babb - I could see him as high as third. Also a very very nice guy and great engineer.
Gautier - I just like that dude more than Broadway
Broadway - was best his first year...not sure who's fault that was.

I never saw Henry, I assume he belongs somewhere in that mix but I just never saw him play.
