Who will be the starting quarterback?

[Cajunrunner]

I don’t know nearly what some of you do. However, my opinion FWIW, I think we’ve seen enough of Chandler Fields to know that if our pass protection isn’t way better than it’s been the past 4-5 years, we need a more mobile QB. Even during the Napier years, as good as the run blocking was, the pass protection was not great. Levi escaped a ton of sacks.

If Ben isn’t healthy, I think I’d rather see us just go with Lunch and see if he grows. Fields will be here for his sixth season. He can provide great mentoring/guidance for a young QB.

Similar to last year, if Ben is healthy and can be mobile, then I think he gives us our best chance. However, I will say, I’ve seen Chandler improve a good bit over the years and I think he could do well also.

Lunch will be the 3rd QB. Only way he sees time when game is in doubt will be due to injury to Fields and Woolridge. That is definitely a possibility however based upon the way things have gone the last 2 years. In 2025, Beale (2024 pure freshman from Catholic BR) and Lunch will battle for the starting spot. I would not be surprised if Beale wins that competition. As far as the 2024 starter goes, indications from spring is that it would be Chandler Fields. I don't think he would have come back without the situation being it would be his job to lose.

Don’t sleep on Altman. The young man will be in the mix.

Well I hope by the end of the season I’m eating crow and Fields is 1st Team All Sun Belt.

Ben10 gives us our best chance to win, IMO. He just needs to stay healthy.

What is the status of Ben’s health today and prognosis?

So you don't know "weather" he will play or not either!
