Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Penix still has a hardon for UW...

Ah yes, Mariota, the academically prowessed QB who graduated with a general science degree (with an emphasis in the always-rigorous discipline of human physiology!) and a 3.2 GPA. Truly a model in football players who come to play school.trublue said:
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.WoolleyDoog said:
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-predictionstrublue said:
Since when did Herbert leaving early become an issue? After he blew up in the NFL?WoolleyDoog said: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.
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.
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.
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).
Herbert, OTOH, does appear to have been a legitimately good student. A 4.0 with a degree in biology is no joke. -
Whenever I want to know what major/GPA Oregon ducks football players have I know I can find the info from you guys😘

That's not quite how I remember it. Kid was a shutdown corner and teams threw away from him, even though he was a Duck. You're right about Philly with Jones, which they now know was a mistake. They, the NFL, do make them, without question.WoolleyDoog said:
Problem is Ifo always was never that good and was overrated. Classic case of guy who got some random interceptions one year and then got a bunch of preseason accolades after that and then media is dumb and lazy and just runs with it. Sidney Jones torn his achilles right before the draft and still went second round. Penix aint Ifo bro.trublue said:What’s the matter with:
Terrific NIL deal;
Heisman Campaign; and
Insurance policy.
Ifo was injured in preparation for a bowl game after his senior season.
Ifo didn’t have the option of a NIL deal.
His family collected $3M from the insurance policy. Chump change today.
But I agree with your main point: Penix isn't a corner, where knee, ankle and other lower extremity tendons are more key to their job performance. -
You all know what really happened in this thread, don't you? Penix is now tripled jinxed and will likely go down with a shoulder separation that requires surgery. And perhaps a severe injury to his penix.
Or he won't.
Or he will.

if I agree with you, it probably won't happen; but if
I don't agree with you, then the Penix is doomed.

Nip was one in 1994. And that was one of the better ones -
Don't you mean "Nap", as I used to call him in HS? Before I became a D1 athlete at Colorado?RaceBannon said:

It's always short changed.
