Best Of

Three guys bitching about a loss to Oregon that didn't necessarily need to happen. If you're looking for uplifting nourishment for your soul, this is probably not the episode for you.

Demond would look a hell of a lot better in a better offense. That's it. It's that simple.

Hey Derek, what UW's record is this season with DeBoer coaching Fisch's current roster?

I understand the importance of coaching, don't get me wrong.

Let me put it another way: Do you think DeBoer wins those 22 games in a row with Demond rather than Penix? Highly fucking doubtful.

he threw into double coverage on both his picks unnecessarily yesterday. He missed open receivers for no reason yesterday. He sucked vs Michigan and Wisconsin.

his coach is obsessed with making his qb something he is not. Both are true.

Half time orange slices.

yeah but why is Fisch Sark?

2011 deja vu shit around here

I like how guys just make shit up because Fisch actually really does suck as a coach

He's a great CEO

Yeah and who fucking cares?

Fire his ass today. You're going to anyway. First rule of business is when you know someone needs to be whacked you don't wait

Against talented defenses, or well coached defenses …

UW can't run any quick stuff, because Demond can't see/read anything with a 3-step drop.

UW can't run any intermediate stuff consistently because his 5-step drop turns into an 8-step drop.

UW can't run any deep stuff consistently because his 7-step drop turns into a 10-step drop.

Any advantage that a receiver gains while running these routes is mitigated by the fact that our QB's inability to deliver the ball on time gives the defense an extra second or two to recover.

Every time you see a camera angle from either endzone that shows a play developing, he has guys that are open … when they are supposed to be open … but he rarely delivers the ball on time, so he just flat misses them.

I think he is often given simple routes/reads that should be easy rhythm completions, and he'll throw a bad ball, without any rhyme or reason. There were several of those against Oregon (especially early in the game), but it's been a pattern all season.

He's elusive, but not fast/quick. He often escapes the pocket with his elusiveness, but then gets caught by guys from behind, or who close on him, when it appears as though he should outrun them for much more yardage. (He's also terrible at the "read" part of any read-option/RPO stuff). Because of that, I don't see him as a true "dual threat" QB.

It's easy to fault the OL, but they are serviceable for the most part; however, it's tough to sustain blocks when the ball is never coming out of the QB's hand on time.

If UW is satisfied with 8-4, Demond is the guy. If UW wants to be better than that, they need to find a new quarterback.
