QB Hawkins Ruled Eligible

[CajunVic]

IMO you don't put forth the resources to get a hardship waiver for a guy to ride pine

You have to belive Napier has a plan for him to contribute

I don’t think it takes much resources to apply for an exemption. It is the lack of success rate that may make it not worth it. In this case, the reward came in.

Swap your 1A and 1B. This kid isn’t like Terrance Broadway coming in here. He’ll need to develop just like any other QB on the roster.

Yes, I agree, development time is usually required.

Terrance not excluded.

I don’t think it’s all on Napier, I’m sure Hawkins wanted to be eligible also. He has been waiting to play football for a while now.

Time and effort for an already stretched thin compliance department

In spite of his intellect Lewis simply looked lost last season. Looked lost too often, not most of the time. I’m thinking that may be a game situation weakness that manifests itself in the actual game. Jake was just the opposite pretty average in practice, but rose to extremely high levels during games, AKA the IT factor.

I’m hoping Lewis has a 180 degree change this his 3rd season.

If he has 4 years left to play 4 or 3, there was never a reason not to try to get the hardship waiver. Simple as that. Let the best man win. Just another qualified competitor to the most important position to help our team this year.

Does your dog talk French like Skeeters dog?

You know that reference?

I know a baw named Skeeter.

Does anyone think that someone may elect to transfer out prior to school starting with Hawkins being eligible now?

Napier said today Hawkins is competing for 3rd string behind Lewis and Mag. Coach speak messaging that Hawkins has to earn it?

He needs to say that, sure. But....Hawkins needs to play well and show he deserves more.
