    The 2016 roster ended up having alot of NFL talent on it. Who do you think ends up in the league from the current roster?

    kind of an indictment for sucking so bad in 2015
    At the time I thought 2015 was a huge success. From what I remember like the entire team graduated/left early from 2014 and I thought it would be a great sign if Petersen got them to 6-6 and a bowl. Thought 2016 would be the next step where they go to like a Holiday Bowl or Alamo Bowl but they popped way quicker. I think because the 2016 had more talent than we thought at the time and because Ross took off.

    It's doogish but thought about this not long before in connection to the talent levels on the 2016 Alabama and UW teams maybe being closer than we thought at the time. Though that has a lot to do with how much those Bama players have underwhelmed in the NFL.
    Jalen Hurts is going to put a lot of distance in that metric but generally I agree. We weren't as far off from them as people think/thought. It's a shame we didn't play them better when we had the chance.

    Yeah Hurts vs. Browning is the big variable, though it didn't seem as pronounced at the time. It's also depth and weak spots. UW was actually better or just as good in a lot of spots but Bama didn't have spots like UW where they had to rely on Psalm and a true freshman Nick Harris.

    And '17/'18

    This feels like it might be UWs best chance at an elite season for a couple years seeing as the high school recruiting hasn't been top end for the last couple seasons. I'm not sold on being able to entirely build teams effectively with the portal

    I don't really agree with this. True frosh QB, RB and LT. I don't think we? massively underperformed in 2015, especially considering that true frosh QB was Jake Browning. Did we leave some games on the table? Sure.

    Remember John Ross didn't play a snap that year.
    Losing to Boise, Cal, Utah, ASU (who we were up by multiple TD's on) was fireable.

    Plus the usual Petersen just 🐢 up like a fucking loser and hope Oregon beats themselves routine.

    Basically a doogish apple cup performance and SC win kept that season from being really bad. Oh but the metrics loved us.

    NOC. Once they leave Mountlake it doesn’t matter to this rabid DAWGFAN.

    WOOF!

    In fairness the metrics from 2015 predicted 2016.

    Because we lost close and won big against shit teams.

    But 2015 was a huge failure.

    But Pete could have thrown us? a limp dick 10 win season that year.
