Gautier focused on being starter

Quoting Janet Jackson songs... -1

Got to give me credit for not quoting her brother M.J. lol. By the way Nicholls State is an FCS school not an FBS school as I stated in my earlier post.

Yes... I meant "public relations". We are "the public"... and as this gentleman has proven over and over and over again... he is a very vocal Blaine fan. He was "relating" for Blaine when the majority of this forum hadn't even seen him on the field of play. He was claiming Bustle wasn't giving Blaine a fair chance against Brad and Chris, and that Blaine was kicking their butts in practice... and that he couldn't figure out "what reason" Blaine wasn't getting the nod. If you've been paying attention... as I do... you would know that this person "ram1fan" almost entirely posts on Blaine. Unlike me and others... he doesn't chime in on virtually any other UL content... he pitches for Blaine. More power to him. Whether he is acting in an official public relations role is irrelevant. He is attempting to persuade people on this forum to change their opinion of Blaine's level of play. I think he should keep doing so, but leave out the accusations of bias.

I do not want Blaine to take hits on this forum because of an overzealous ram1fan. Just like "moms" have been warned... by their sons... not to pitch on here for "their little boy"... for the sake of bad "public relations"... I feel likewise for Blaine and ram1fan.

Ram1fan is being a fine Blaine proponent at times... but like I said... he has singled out people on here that disagree with him on Blaine... when there were still plenty of reasons to keep the QB debate alive... and that is not good for Blaine. Blaine is getting a very fair chance and doing well enough on his own right now... without ram1fan's assistance.

Oh, and your limited understanding of the term "public relations" does not constitute an out of context post on my behalf.

I guess I just havent paid that much attention to him to notice.

In order for UL to take the program to the next level, everyone including the fans will have to change how you make assessments of players. Your emotions have no place in your decision making as to who should be playing/starting regardless if you support Gautier, Mason or Maguire. You must deal with the actual facts. There is no need to interpret anything. Just look at the stats. The eyeball test should not apply here. Emotions must be kept out of this.

Now some facts: Maguire is 1-2 as a starter (so much for "all he does is wins"). He was independently evaluated by 2 different coaching staffs and not only was he not made the QB starter, his position was changed completely. He is a good player and a good kid but he is not starting QB material based on your last and present coach. Mason coming into the season was the starter in my mind because in my experience having played on that level it is very hard to "dethhrone" the returning starting QB with only practice to use as the evaluation tool. Any player can tell you practice is a lot slower than the actual game. Anyway, what are the Mason stats. He is 11-12 over the last 3 seasons as starter. His passer efficiency rating has gone from 118 (2009) to 116 (2010) to 67 presently with the 2 games he started against very weak competition (Kent State - last in the Mid-American conference and Nicholls State - a middle to lower tier FBS school. Finally Gautier: College sports is like what Janet Jackson said, "What have you done for me lately"". This season Gautier has a passer efficiency rating of 116 so far and has the only passing TD so far this season. He is 3rd on the team in rushing. This was done with only playing about 4 1/2 quarters of football this season (taken off of the UL website where stats are located) with 3 of those quarters coming against the then 9th ranked team in America.

Sorry to be so long but I want to see UL get it to the next level. If you evaluate your program like it is done at winning programs, you would conclude that the QB question has been answered. Gautier should be made the starter and everyone should get behind him. Remember, Mason started for two seasons not Gautier so he will definitely hit a rough patch. It happens to all of us. Get behind him an "Geaux Cajuns",

Good read. You should post here more often. To this point I like how the QB's have been handled. Both have been given opportunities. We all kind of knew Gautier should be the starter, but Hud smartly gave Masson one more chance because of the bad weather during the KSU game. It is now obvious who the best QB on the team is. Lets all get behind him and hope we leads us to a bowl game.

One more thing...even if Gautier is the starter, the other two guys will get some opportunities. Zone read QB's take a beating and our shakey OL will definitely be hanging our QB out to dry from time to time. I have a feeling all three will be called into duty before the year is up.

I agree with you on several things... I'll say this, I wouldn't want Blaine or any other player to take hits based on anyone on this forum's opinion and I never thought that they would... Im not a PR advocate of anyone but I must admit that I have come to what I felt was his (Blaine's) defense on several occasions in which I feel he was being assesed unfairly... A few (NOT MOST) have also posted advocatley against him and I replied...

But Once again I do agree with most of what you said and your delivery (as not to disrespect or offend anyone)....

Thanks for the heads up......

[ULGrad@HOU]

Why r u so rattled??? U posted ur opinion and I responded with mine.... Obviously you have a problem with being disagreed with.... Well, ur post say more about you than you realize and I too could careless if you agree with me... So lets just agree to disagree because whenever you post something that's inaccurate or that i feel i disagree with, I'll respond to it....

First, I didn't post anything inaccurate. I don't care how fast someone runs the 40, when you can't avoid a rush, sit in the pocket too long, can't run away from a def lineman or move around like you are in sand, then you look slow. If you are Blaine's moma, I'm sorry it offended you.

Just for your info,,, no i'm not Blaine's mom nor am I related to him.... I simply stated how I felt about your post and I'll leave it at that... I'm not offended I simply defendended what I know is incorrect (Slow doesn't translate to a 4.52 40). But if he looks slow to you then that's your opinion. I simply stated the facts. I may not think that the Green Bay Packers are a good team but they're the "World Champs"........

Wish we had an option 3.

Man...I didn't realize that the first post on this thread would lead to 66 additional posts.

I take it back.
