Maintaining Success

[CajunEXPRESS]

I will be disappointed with 8 wins because we have quality depth to replace what we lose this season. Also, I see our passing game being a much bigger part of our offense which will open up the run game, less defensive players in the box. We should win the West again, though I believe the teams in the West will be improved. Not winning the conference again will be disappointing but not a failure of new staff.

Maybe you’re enamored with the passing game. I don’t know how enamored we’ll be with twenty plus turnovers. Levi cut the grass for an easy pathway.

8 wins would be a letdown. Still, nobody knows what Billy sans the great Levi Lewis would do next year. It’s unknowable period. I suspect he’d do well, but it’s an incomplete book.

If we win 8 games next year, will we consider it a successful season? If we make the conference championship and lose will we be happy? Is the bar set so high that Des and some non-Napier coaches will be held to the standard set by Napier?

For me, it comes down to how you are defeated. If some of those losses are in conference and by double digits, yes it would certainly raise some concerns. Now winning 8 games, and going to another bowl game with a huge turnover in staff, and a inexperienced QB in his first season starting, I can live with it.

Nape won 7 in his first year. Anything over 8 wins with a new QB would be fantastic. Cant expect more than that unless we a bunch of lsu fans and pretending other teams arent trying to win.

Express hit on the best thing we did last year, and probably THE thing over the Napier Era. Took care of the ball, did not give it away too often. Obviously this wasn’t dumb luck, it was physical and mental specific coaching. Hope Des can keep that part rolling.

Posters here have been strongly suggesting that Napier play QB’s on the roster other Levi for two years going . . . Why would we be worried about a different QB coming out of that group or better . . . we should be in great shape at the QB position . . .

Mr. Vic, in all fairness, there were only a few posters who continually suggested that Levi should be pulled because we certainly had a better quarterback on the bench, with absolutely no proof. For the most part, people did what people do on discussion boards they discussed Levi’s shortcomings. I have been a Levi supporter and still am, and think overall he did a superb job, but there’s no question that he did have limitations in certain types of plays. There is a difference between pointing out those limitations and saying that he should be benched.

Because Napier never gave a quarterback the same preparation he gave Levi Lewis.

If LL's helmet never came off none of the current roster would have a down under their belt.

This is pure bullshiette.

If you are on the roster and want some playing time, you usually have to earn it. It was apparent that did not happen, however that does nothing to change the observation which I just made. We should be fine . . .

Hi Mr. Hammer Head.

Everything QB looked like a nail to you this year.
