Penix still has a hardon for UW...

    Look at it this way. Little Bo Peep will go higher in the NFL draft this year than Penix. Guaranteed.

    Little Bo Peep?

    Unfunny people should post less.

    Re: Penix…good for him. I thought he’d put enough tape out this year to be a day 2 draft pick but him coming back will make the Pac 12 interesting in 2023. Hope he stays healthy because he’s taking a risk with his history of getting hurt.

    Your program has benefitted more than any maybe from QBs coming back for no reason let's be real. I almost feel like a hypocrite for celebrating this I've groused about Mariota and Herbert's extra year so much.

    Mariota left after his RS junior year with a year of eligibility remaining. He could have left after his RS sophomore year.

    Since when did Herbert leaving early become an issue? After he blew up in the NFL?

    Herbert was local (Sheldon HS, Eugene, OR); a legacy; a 3-sport athlete in high school; academic; played on terrible teams his first two years at Oregon; never redshirted.

    There was never any serious talk about Herbert entering the draft after his (true) junior season.

    Good for Penix for coming back for another year. Hopefully, UW can get him a terrific NIL deal and start the Heisman campaign.

    Herbert absolutely did not have to come back for his senior year. All mocks had him going really high. He was basically the next year's Josh Allen. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2773297-2019-nfl-mock-draft-matt-millers-way-too-early-predictions

    Most QBs in Mariota's situation would have left after their sophomore year. He was a Top 10 lock. Bortles went #3 in 2014.

    Both coming back when they didn't need to was super fortunate and massively helped the program.

    To be fair, so was Locker returning when he didn't need to in 2010.

    Mariota and Herbert are not your average D-1 QBs. These two actually did the education part of attending a University.; loved the University of Oregon and the football program.

    Josh Allen - different dude. Dumbfuck academically (Reedley, CA JC); transferred to Wyoming. Great size and arm strength. He was projected a high draft pick based on his size and arm strength not what he accomplished college. Dude was just trying to stay eligible.

    Herbert staying his senior year was never in doubt considering the family he came from. It turned out to be a great decision for him and the Ducks. He could have left early and been drafted by Cincinnati.

    Mariota came back his last year to get his degree.

    It’s great for UW having Penix come back. Now he needs a good insurance policy (in case he gets injured).
