QB Doubters still ?

[CajunT]

That depends. With Ben coming back next year, will we see another QB competition?

A couple of things are not being factored in this discussion. First, we all know Zeon has been contacted indirectly by other programs. But, now I would think his options will be limited because there is a good chance he won't be able to participate in spring.

Ben was still on a cart for the ULM game, will he be cleared to practice by spring? If Zeon remains, which is more likely than before he was injured, he is the guy. They made that decision clear when he started over Fields. Now, if Ben is cleared to play it makes sense that he returns because of his leadership and experience in FBS football. Otherwise, your QB room will be filled with freshmen and RS Freshmen QB's as backups. That is not exactly a good position to be in considering Zeon could very well be inured again in the type of offense ran by this staff.

I don't understand how they start Ben over Zeon.

Indirectly? Why not report the tampering asap?

Because you have to prove it. In most cases the parents and the athlete may mention it, but there aren't going to expose another program that is willing to pay them money and take those options away.

This is why you see on social media the Washington State QB Ward was already offered 1M by five programs. How is that out when he isn't in the portal officially? More than likely his parents are letting some people know this is the going rate.

A running QB absolutely breaks a defense. A running QB is also an injury waiting to happen. It usually happens deep in the season when you need them the most. That's why I prefer a passing QB that can scramble, escape the pocket, and has mobility. Those are the QB's that will pay off in the long run and win big games against P5 competition. With a passing QB, you need a really good running game to go along with it. As T pointed out in an earlier post, Zeon provided the running at the QB position, that we did not have, in some of our games, but we also lost him on a run.

We lost him on a sack.

If this was the right coaching staff, we would be holding on to players, we would be seeing players portal in, and we would be winning more than 6 games a season.

Would’ve won the SBC.

Hopefully drastic improvements are made between this offseason and the start of fall camp. Because if they are then Dez is a home run hire. I just haven’t seen where the improvements are going to come from.
