Desormeaux details the Cajuns' QB situation

[UL_Cajuns]

Is it really that clear?

Yes.

[Cajunrunner]

Yes.

How you figure based on the play on the field. Is our record much better with Fields vs Wooldridge? Is his TD to INT ratio that much better? Total TDs to total turnovers? 3rd down conversion percentage? Yards per attempt?

If I had to guess, I’d say the one and only objective category where Fields is probably a lot better than Wooldridge would be completion percentage. However, what does the yards per attempt and yards per completion look like?

My only issue in this article is the quote at the end. How does a High School QB know the offense already? I know it’s implying he’s smart, which I like, but it also implies our offense is high school-ish. Yet, we have some QB’s that can’t catch on to the offense. I guess the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

HS coaches come spend a day or more with tapes, live practices, one on one meetings with position coaches, and complete game strategies for discussion——-sometimes the HS coaches per Bear Bryant help the college game…the real key is with adjusting your offense and def to employ the plans that your personal can best perform with at what level!

[Swamp]

I like having this issue.

[R1Letterman]

There was no debate at least after Babb’s last season.

3 wins = no debate, 13 wins = still debating

I’ll wait and see. I think our #1/#2 QBs need a really strong OL. I don’t think we’ll have one at any time during season. I dread what I see as a long season. I worry a lot.
Hope I’m way off but I’m not excited about this team. Said same thing 1963-2012. Wrong a few years. Not many.

Given the current state of “recruiting” and Dez stating he’d only go after portal guys he had prior contact with, I’m expecting a “Toothpick” type slump coming. MH isn’t going for a CBN hire ever again. Winning creates work an expectations.

[ULGrad@HOU]

No, I think the kid the CHBR is just that bright in terms of the QB room.

And that's a positive.

[ULGrad@HOU]

I don't read too much into to this coach talk going in to fall camp. I view it as simply saying he knows enough of the offense at this time to give him a package if we need him and to give him some confidence, just like Chriss. He didn't bring in Lara to compete with Fields and Woolridge if he really thought Beale would be able to contribute this season.

I can agree with that T.

OL has 4 starters returning plus Fordham kid who played center in latter part of season. They should be improved. Agree that success of that unit will be key. Especially so since Dez wants to average 30 rushing plays per game. If they do that, passing game will have less pressure on it.

[JamesTheJeweler]

Both Fields and Wooldridge are serviceable QB's. Nothing more. When they aren't hurt, that is.

Well said. Nothing but servicable. Never thought I'd say this, but I mis Levi

Levi was a damn good QB for our program. I know he drove fans crazy at times, myself included, but our program isn’t getting a Joe Burrow or Tim Tebow walking through that door. Folks here would have been losing their mind in Delhomme throwing too many INTs or Mitchell “only” being able to run.

Zoom, I'm not seeing what you are seeing concerning recruiting. The staff is doing well with the current class. Now if they don't win, then that's entirely different matter.

I am certainly in no position to comment on recruiting, etc. It seemed like we had the guys needed to be better but the coaching decisions, especially in game, were the weak points.
