QB 2021

[Jacob81]

Let’s imagine for a second that there is a QB competition at every practice and Levi is winning it.

This team is an awesome 21-4 in the past two years. (a Team stat)

Therefore, we don't need any position to improve. (the logic of many)

Again, the team wins/losses have no direct relation to the individual position. Many want it too when it's convenient to try and support their argument.

Our FG kicking game is great, because we are 21-4. No improvement needed, right?
Have you seen our FG kicking game?

Just for clarity on my position (play on words there), I have not seen a better QB on our team than Levi. It's Coach Napier's (who I completely want as our coach) responsibility to get one and it's going on year 4 and we don't have any QB competition. That's my whole point when posting about the QB position.

In the end, it reads as that those who think Napier should have recruited and developed a better QB than Levi by now are at its core just saying they know the QB position and what it takes to be a good QB on a college football team better than Coach does. In spite of all the result, stats, and team leadership.

Napier in 3 years has given us back to back double digit win seasons. Previously school has 0. And that’s after taking over a losing team. I guess some fans wanted better by now. Like cfp and national champion.

Just a note:

Napier made a mid season change in the FG dept.

This has been a very informative and entertaining thread. One could argue not staying on topic contributes to better threads.

I also sense a smidge of political inklings. Thanks.

I remain amazed at the comments concerning our quarterback.

As many of you know, I've been around for a while. Here are some of my observations:

Levi doesn't do a great job with the deep ball. And, part of it is because we didn't have a deep threat this year. Having said that, it's the weakest part of his game. I'm sure that's a deal breaker for you "Bombs Away" fans.

Someone remarked he wanted a quarterback who would throw the ball a lot. Better hope for a new coach. Coach Napier's philosophy is to run the football, which is the philosophy of most coaches who win consistently.

Levi's record as a starter under Napier is 21-4. Please find me a time when we won 21 games in two seasons. I'll hang up and listen.

Levi Lewis is the best quarterback in the history of this program when running the two minute drill. Don't believe me? Go do some research and let me know how many times we've scored just before halftime with little time on the clock. He's also done it at the end of games as well.

You bring up the interception vs. CCU. I think it's the only pick he threw all year deep in our territory. And, even with that, if we don't false start on third and one and then drop a sure first down pass on the next play, we probably finish the season undefeated.

While a quarterback by himself doesn't win games, he doesn't lose them either. Although we won Saturday, we had four balls that should have been caught on Saturday. Two of them would have been touchdowns. But I'm sure you haters overlook stuff like that.

Levi is called upon to make snap decisions at the line of scrimmage. While he doesn't always make the correct one, I'll guess he's right more than 80 percent of the time. There are many quarterbacks in the country who aren't nearly as cerebral.

Levi doesn't get sacked often and it's not just the O-line that gets credit for that. Only Brian Mitchell in my time watching the Cajuns was the only QB better in avoiding the sack.

You guys can nit pick about his limitations all day long if it fits your agenda. Some of us are still trying to figure out what your agenda is.

Bravo Jay!!! Couldn't have been stated better!!!

Wait, you think people would mention if it was just one throw off? I think not.

No, you are not listening to what I say. The first throw that he's off on you guys tear him apart in the game thread. As I mentioned, it is usually followed up by a great play that yall tend to overlook. I see great QB's make bad throws EVERY game but you guys tear LL up even if we are playing well and winning.

I agree with all of this. A number of the passes he's missed this year were catchable balls that weren't hauled in. On a number of our deep passes, our receivers would run and just look to catch the ball in stride at their stomach rather than going up and high pointing it.

Case in point

[ma1n3daman]

Should’ve been 12-1 with no real number one receiver

Without saying who has what, What are some of potential agendas people here could have?
