Best Of

Agree with all that except your point about him not being fast/quick. He's is definitely both of those things. Don't know what his top-end 40 to 60 meter speed is and don't care because it doesn't matter, but his first step and acceleration are there for football. He can move.

I think it's more of an issue with him running like he passes: no confidence. There's no doubt that when he makes up his mind to run and takes off he can hurt you with his legs. His acceleration and overall speed is better than that of most true dual threats, just based on observation. But even on the ground he can be indecisive and fuck around too much.

Kid should be a full-time RPO QB. RPO, like running the option, like almost anything, requires a lot of repetition to be good at it. I would have made that my bread and butter with this kid instead of trying to make a living with him out of the pocket. There are dudes who are under 6' who pull it off but DW clearly isn't one of them.

While not necessarily being your initial best idea, wife 2.0 can sometimes turn out to be an exciting outcome…

Breathlessly speaking the obvious ~ its what i like to do:

The sophomore season for QB’s is by definition a grind ~ and this has been… 2-3 big play throws and 2-3 passes that are nowhere near the receiver at game defining moments has defined the season.

This year the OC / QB combination have simply not made the required big plays at key moments against top teams.

Not enough developed talent at WR has been a liability but talent is emerging

The emergence of Mohammed is a true surprise ~ Coleman is playing hurt is how it looks because he just has not been the same guy ~ two more good players are needed at RB

This defense has been surprisingly good ~ the DC and defensive coaches have done a great job.

The staff is recruiting surprisingly well ~ the incoming class of recruits is one of the best in UW history.

Fische may or may not really want to be here but his wife clearly does not which is a crystal clear couch sell signal ~ its just a question of time before he leaves or moves on to Wife 2.0

Excellent catharsis pod, in particular all the commentary about the sport overall at this point.

I'm really having a hard time adjusting and staying interested.

I've watched the least amount of college football this year of my entire life, Dawgs or otherwise.

And I’m not sure UW belongs in the same tier as Iowa, all their losses were close unlike Judd.

@haie, the tiers are in this moment, not looking historically or anything else.

When he runs he has two linebackers waiting for him 4 yards down field. They are waiting there because when he steps up he’s basically running 90% of the time. They aren’t worried about him throwing when he on the move. The great running qb’s can pump fake 4 yards over the line of scrimmage and pick up an extra 10.

With all due respect, this is some disingenuous cherry picking. How about asking me what UW's record is this season with DeBoer coaching Fisch's current roster?
