Louisiana QBs
Posted on 9/28/12 at 1:59 pm
Posted on 9/28/12 at 1:59 pm
Was thinking about LA players in the NFL who didn't play at LSU: Peyton & Eli Manning, Ed Reed, Mike Wallace, Ike Taylor, etc.
Those guys with the LA guys who went to LSU would make an elite NFL team, but there wouldn't be a team at all without the Mannings.
A few years ago Delhomme, Ramsey, and Nall were in the NFL.
Other than the Mannings, I can't think of any LA QBs.
LSU's roster has QBs from GA, FL, and AL.
Munchie Legaux at Cincinnati, Gautier at ULL, and ?????? at Tulane are the only current D-1 teams with a LA guy starting at QB that I can think of.
What's going on with LA QBs? Who are the next good ones?

The coaching (on the whole, I know there are good coaches here) in Louisiana is inferior compared to other states, specifically at the QB position. Also, cajuns are short people. There are a lot more prototype size guys in other parts of the country.

Nall was at LSU. He transferred out for his senior year when he couldn't win the starting job.

I know that about Nall. I was just naming all recent LA QBs.

Coaches are putting their best athlete at QB and letting him create plays with his feet. Wildcat/spread option has made a huge influx in the state. Not many teams run true passing offenses.

Truly elite? West Monroe has a freshman that is 6'2" 185 and can throw the ball. He was Eastbay All American and FBU Top Gun back to back years. Evangel has an 8th grader with pretty much the same resume and obviously he'll pass it a ton there.

Louisiana puts their best athlete at QB which is usually a way better runner then passer. usually a rb or wr or db at Qb which doesnt correlate to college well. Example rueben randle, terrance magee, mihca eugene. Also a bunch others at LSU

The injured back-up to the injured starter Griffin? This thread is about starting QBs.

You point is well taken, it has been a long time since Louisiana produced a really top-notch Div. 1A QB. Ryan P was really the last one, and that was like what, 7 years ago?

I blame Kevin Faulk. Seriously.
When Carencro started snapping it to him in the shotgun and letting him run with it in Class 5A (or was it still AAAA at the time?), it started a trend among bigger schools in Louisiana to do that with good athletes. It's meant fewer QBs who are developing true QB skills.
Really, an old-school wing-T QB came out of HS with more advanced QB skills than some of these guys who are a basically running backs taking direct snaps.
That trend sort of suppressed the Texas trend of spread passing games from catching on here to the same extent. Hurts QB development, but to me, helps produce better backs, better linemen, linebackers, etc.

Jordan Jefferson was a 4 star

Sorry, but he doesn't qualify, and I would say that regardless of how his career at LSU unfolded.
JJ may have been a 4* but he wasn't in the 5* Ryan P, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Brock Berlin, Josh Booty league of blue-chip HS QB's.
And yes, I know, being a 5* does not guarantee success at the next level (e.g. Brock Berlin).

What does BorKjun actually mean is...
Where's the Marcus Randall and Kentucky Miracles at,y'all????
Marcus Randall and Jordan Jefferson.... recent LA QBs of LSU (RP missed the opportunity)
.. furthermore, can't always go by rankings anyway, Robert Lane didn't even play QB when he was finished
last - cajuns are short, yankees are Texans and Mississippi folk, and the descendants of slaves are just as big in Louisiana as other states....
Louisiana was historically considered weak for Oline, but that has improved as of late... And oh yeah, They Are Also Tall
So, I don't know what gives..... and yeah! the Faulk-effect let's say (happening even without Faulk), There is Evangel and others that try to develop QBs.... nemo existere
Ashame too, Bert Jones, Bradshaw, Brister, Delhomme, Williams.. more.. La has had a great lineage of QBs.... Randall and Jefferson don't really equate to that

Dez Duron recent QB at Evangel gave up his football career at Yale to pursue a singing career in Los Angeles. He's on The Voice for a second try.
