PRIME: Michael Desormeaux

[RaginEsquire06]

Which one is it. Should you not lose your position or should the better qb play????????????

This is not kindergarden class. So say Babb comes back in 3 weeks hypothetically and we win these next three games impressively because of Desormeaux's play. Should we just go back to what wasn't working before because we don't want people's feelings hurt. Winning cures everything if we would win three straight games with D-Mo not one person on the field or in the stands would disagree with D-Mo staying at QB. Go Desormeaux

This is the exact issue that I wanted to raise! I think it would be crazy to remove a player who has the ability to put "W's" in the most important column! We all love Babb...But don't lose sight of the overall purpose of the program! Just think of all the different plays that our offense could run with Dez-Mo and J.B. on the field at the same time! J.B. would be great as a roaming flanker! With his understanding of the game...he would create mis-matches all over the second and third levels of the defenses that we face, simply because of cognative apptitude! Think of the QB now WR who is playing for Jacksonville Jags now!

People have to realize that this was Desormeaux's first game and to be honest with you it really wasn't because he didn't practice as the starter all week he was the backup until the game started. I think right now Babb is probably the better person to be starting but if Desormeaux does get a couple of games under his belt I think his upside and potential is 10 fold over Babb. Again let me make it clear that I am not againist Babb I think he is a great guy on and off the field but we need to win and over the course of the whole season I think Desormeaux will get us more wins. Everyone needs to embrace him like they did Babb when he came in as the inexperienced freshman. GOOD LUCK

Amazing.

Jerry Babb has the highest completion percentage in UL history. He has shown the ability to take over a game.

I think Michael did well. But, he's not ready YET to take us out of third and long situations.

Babb is the quarterback when he is healthy....and unless he gets hurt or gets decisively beaten out, he will be the quarterback through the 2006 season.

There may be plays where the two play at the same time. There may be times that Coach Bustle uses both quarterbacks in the same game.

But Babb is the starter. Make no mistake about that.

Can someone tell us just what is wrong with Jerry Babbs shoulder. I saw him get hurt but did not see an injury report!

Family members/friends/old class mates, always seem to show up in times like this....

Z, how can you not see the clarity of Jay's statement. Injury's have been handled that way for years (amateur, college {which I believe is actually semipro}, and pro). But...Maybe a paradigm can be broken. Not a fan of Birds Eye View? :o

LOL!!!

Did coach bustle mention anything about changes to the offensive play calling for the game against FAU to better suit Mike D.'s ability?

OH NO!! Big BOP fan...

my statement was aimed at the new person on the board extolling the virtues of Desormeaux over Babb....

Mike will be a hero before his 4 years are done...Right now JB is the heart and soul....

Hopefully he recouperates quickly...

That being said, I dont think there is a game left on our schedule that is not winnable with either qb at the helm...

My statements were simply aimed at the person who said Babb should automatically regain his starting roll. What I am saying is that Desormeaux has great potential and if he is impressive we should leave him in when Babb comes back. If he is not very impressive then Babb should regain his spot. I just disagree with the idea that if a QB gets hurt then we should automatically give him his spot back when he returns no matter what the circumstances. I believe that Desormeaux has the potential to be great and if that potential shows up sooner rather than later we should not change if we are winning.

I would have to agree with all these valid points. Mike D did look good but there is also not a scouting report on him. He did play good enough to get him some time on the field.

Look at the New England Patriots a few years back. They were perenial losers for a few years at that point. Two weeks into the season Drew Bledsoe goes down with an injury. They start the season 0-2 under Bledsoe then this unexperienced young kid by the name of Tom Brady steps into the role. Struggles slightly early on, but yet, finds ways to win games. Do they go back to losing with Bledsoe, or do they keep Brady who has a weaker arm, less accuracy, less mobile, etc keep winning. They stick with the young gun who is winning, and it has proven to be the smartest thing in the history of the New England Patriots. Moral of the story.... You stick with who will win games... If M-Dez wins games keep him in.
