Levi Lewis GOAT

[Geaux]

November 2017, Levi Lewis walks into Coach Hudspeth's office and ask for his opportunity to lead a losing team as freshman.

Levi also states, he will not be here 4 years later, so let's not waste time. Five years later.....

Looking back, those next few games possibly cemented Levi's decision to stay and not transfer. New coach (Billy Napier) comes in 2018. Levi may have had just enough game tape, or also suggested to Napier an opportunity for one series per game.

2019 and on.....we could statically argue he was one of the best to ever lead the Cajuns.

What we can't measure is how Levi's leadership was possibly the glue to bring our team together after the Hudspeth departure.

Levi may not have had the physical talent of other Cajun quarterbacks, but he was our team's leader during an unprecedented era of Cajuns football and that we can't argue.

Levi, WE APPRECIATE YOU. You've represented us well, on and off the field. The bar has been raised during your tenure. Years from now, your name will be mentioned with Henry, Mitchell, Delhomme, Gauthier, and Broadway.

Geaux Cajuns!

The Number will go back into retirement on Two Jerseys and he will be inducted into the UL HOF when he qualifies.

34-5 the last 3 years. talk about winning and people say it’s the team or the defense. Talk about records TDs,yards,int,rushing….. they say well he’s been here for ever. People that decided they don’t think he’s good can’t have their minds changed.

I told my dad at the game. Some people think Lebron is the best some say he sucks and shoots to much.

You can take any athlete and make a point for both sides.

My opinion is Levi should be on the wall. I thank him as much as I thank billy for this trophy. They are both leaders, both had the same success and both are done here.

Does Lewis’ Jersey belong on the Wall of Fame next to Mitchell’s, Jake’s, and Stokely’s?

My vote would be, YES!

It probably does but in my opinion u cant compare he and Jake. Its not apples to apples.

You got that right.

My good buddy Destin Cajun a lifelong fan and graduate lives in Red Stick. He’s always giving me heads up on players in Red Stick metro. A few years back he said pay attention to a Scotlandville player Levi Lewis.

I watched him get to the state championship. He was very good, but couldn’t close the deal.

Today they started listing his Louisiana accomplishments. They were eye opening. Only about 500 yards behind Jake all time passing mark. Eclipsed many of Mitchell records.

He’s got one thing neither could do, grab a conference trophy that hasn’t happened since before Cajun Field. That’s why I’m nominating him for Louisiana fans GOAT.

You left out that another reason Levi is such a disaster: he's also a Civil Engineering major. Everyone knows that smart people can't play football.

And it means that along with Delhomme & Mitchell, we need to add Jerry Babb into the mix, another engineering major quarterback. Because remember, before we got Tyrell Fenroy, Babb was on track to pass all of Delhomme's passing records.

Which proves, once again, that stats aren't important, because we all know Babb was also one of the worst quarterbacks ever.

Levi was named MVP of the championship game last night, yet more proof that those who consider on-field performance don't know anything.

Levi's critics here are correct: the stats lie, and the truth lies exclusively in their opinions. The sporting world needs to stop paying attention to all those ridiculous W's & L's, and scores, and stats, and particularly to what coaches & players think about football.

Instead, they should all come here daily to hear what our local geniuses have to say about the game.

Truly, we are not worthy.

Cajunhawk will not endorse this thread....lol

Levi is a great team leader. I expect he will do great in life and will make some lucky employer a great add if he chooses to step away from football. (IMO, he would also make a super coach) We may see his name listed as "CEO" one day. He may not have the most talented QB in the country but is able to use the talent he does have as well as any other QB.

Obviously, my comments were satire.

I'm working out of town, I had to watch on the tube yesterday. I kept watching Levi and being so grateful that he chose us. As Jay Bird & Gerald Broussard* said, "He checks off all of the intangibles." Just a great leader, and competitor.

*1) I've known Gerald since we were at UL together. He's Cajun, so what the hell is with that twang?
2) I can't understand about half of what he's saying, what with the twang and the fast-talking football-speak. But he's still one of my favorite sports commentators, any medium, any level. I'm so happy to hear him and Jay Walker on the air. Very professional, but a lot of fun too. The two men are a good reflection of our culture.
