4-Star QB transferring to UL!

[CajunT]

He will be your starting QB for the next two seasons barring injury. I don't need "Rivals" to tell me that. It's not like UL is a quarterback factory. Be glad he's coming. We got lucky.

I'm not anti-Howard, LSU or STM, but what exactly has he accomplished at this point to suggest he is the dude? I watched the Ole Miss Spring game on the SEC network, and he wasn't exactly lighting it up. I understand he signed with LSU and transferred to Ole Miss, but how many snaps in an actual game has he played at 21 years old. I'm not saying he doesn't have ability, but I will wait to see what he actually looks like in the spring.

Actually, the last two QBs were pretty highly rated in their QBR. Not saying they were Heisman caliber, but they were in the top third of Div. 1 QBs.

The kid competed against the best of the best in the 2021 Elite 11 competition and more than held his own. Don't think Jamie paid for this accomplishment.

. . . this is exactly what CMD and everybody else, including Jamie Howard will have to do and the cards will fall as they may .

And while that is impressive and does offer hope, it is not definitive. Does anyone know about the intangibles. How hard a worker? How good a teammate? How good a leader? How good under pressure. How does he respond when making a mistake?

If he can beat out Beale sure. He’s thrown 8 passes in 3 years of college. He’s done absolutely nothing to have a guaranteed spot. He got beat out by a freshman at ole miss for the backup role.

There’s no reason to claim someone will be the starter 10 months from now, especially someone not on the roster, unless you have serious bias towards said player.

Walker Howard becoming a Cajun is a great discussion. Other than that there’s nothing more to claim. If /when he comes he will start if he’s the best for the job.

There is also a long line of All American Highs school players, can't miss guys, supposedly, who don't continue to develop as the get older and don't much progress beyond their high school abilities. Determining physical maturation is a tricky and chancy guessing game.

Yes! I love the extra competition, and don't forget about Lunch. That dude is a winner.

Rick,

Is Lunch a guy you could see transitioning to another position if he is buried on the depth chart or more of a Dion Ray type who will keep searching for his place to play QB?
