QB 2021

[Gumbeaux]

Man - some of you guys are a tough crowd.

Do I think Levi could improve? Certainly. I think the same could be said of the receiving corps as well though.

Call it the Suckbelt all you want - but even with the "subpar" quarterback play, and even though ULM is sucking wind at 0fer, the conference as a whole is vastly improved over the Bustle and the early Hud days, and this team went 21-4 in the past 2 seasons. Levi isn't getting benched.

All you can ask for is continuous improvement. If you guys want more than that, you're gonna start reminding me of the Dollar General Tigger folks most of us loathe.

Dude, save it. You and that poster have been pretty much called out by the whole Cajun Nation. It’s not about me, but it has become about you. Notice it and learn from it.

But it IS about you.
And I CAN “guarantee it”

[tdncz]

Your think your silly retorts speak for the Cajun Nation?!?
When you are so disliked?
Keep proving why I made my first three possibilities of who you really are

When Lewis was up for these various awards or all conference teams should he have recieved bonus points in the voting for not being the unanimous fave of his own fan base? I.e. "overcame the challenge of ---- that no other candidate did"... Or "the only nominee in the history of this award that -------", etc etc etc

Great take... While many conferences struggle to fill bowl slots sunbelt is only conference that tripled its bowl teams in the last decade or so.. (2 bowls in 2008, 6 in 2016)

Are you that naive? Brian Mitchell and Jake Delhomme will never, I repeat never (say it again) publicly talk anything but positives about a current starting QB at UL. Of course they say that. duh?

Well, I know both Jake and BMitch and have talked with them privately. They love Levi.

I’m not talking radio interview, plenty of people know Jake personally around here...ask him. Mitchell’s number is retired and he let Levi wear it that says a lot. I guess the people who vote on the Davey O’Brien can’t see what you see QB guru, or they don’t think this is fantasy football.

I would be shocked if they didn't say that.

This team is an awesome 21-4 in the past two years. (a Team stat)

Therefore, we don't need any position to improve. (the logic of many)

Again, the team wins/losses have no direct relation to the individual position. Many want it too when it's convenient to try and support their argument.

Our FG kicking game is great, because we are 21-4. No improvement needed, right?
Have you seen our FG kicking game?

Just for clarity on my position (play on words there), I have not seen a better QB on our team than Levi. It's Coach Napier's (who I completely want as our coach) responsibility to get one and it's going on year 4 and we don't have any QB competition. That's my whole point when posting about the QB position.

LOL. Good lord. You don't win games and conferences on FG kicking and you know that. The QB position is the one position that has the biggest correlation to play and wins or losses which is why they get the most criticism (see this thread) or the most glory.

However, I'm curious about your "position" on this issue. Because I've read threads where you suggest LL is not a good QB and lacks in many areas but yet you are saying that you also agree that there is not a better one on the current roster? Are you saying that Napier has not fulfilled his responsibility to put a better QB in there or what?

Actually, most of the long passes were underthrown (no improvement over last year). Many of the short passes were behind the receiver. Sometimes people (posters) just can't see what's in front of them. Yes, before someone comes blasting in, some were complete too (the short variety).

So when you are throwing a pass 45 yards downfield, do you not feel that many of those passes will need some sort of adjustment by the receiver? Again, I watch NFL QB's miss on deep balls all the time. I do agree that LL needs to improve in that aspect but I'm saying that the youth at WR this year led to a good number of those misses. Good receivers can bail out poor throws.

Again, on the shorter routes, they aren't always going to be on the money but I saw many of those hit the receivers in the hands and were pure drops. You can't rely on a QB to put the ball on the money every single time. And you are right, people don't see what's in front of them. There was one game you guys were tearing him apart and he made what I thought was a great play and you guys actually dogged him. He had to move out to his left, pump fake the throw and then side arm it because of the DL that had his hands in the passing lane. He threw it slightly behind the WR because of that small delay but they made the catch and throw and yall still talked about how inaccurate he is. Talk about not seeing what is in front of you.
