Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Who was the best Husky all time at every position?

Would any of them have been a backup on Oregons team this year?

    to answer your question maybe a few, but next year's Oregon team NOBODY.

    QB Penix

    RB McElhenny - but for those younger than Race Gaskin

    WR Rome - it might be a toss up with him and Reggie though. Rome seems like a lot better locker room guy though

    TE Bruener - ASJ is the stat guy but he's not THAT GUY

    OL Fautanu - I'm curious who the other options are other than Big Linc? I think Kreutz was a bad locker room guy

    DE Reggie Rogers? Recently would have killed for Kikaha on the 2016-18 teams or the past two years

    DT Emptmann

    LB Hoffman?

    CB McDuffie the best probably just tragically got wasted. Dana Hall otherwise?

    S Lawyer or Budda

    for CB did Murphy do more in a UW uniform than McDuffie? McDuffie definitely a better pro but Byron doesn’t suck.

    For finding 22 starters Vita has to be on the field next to Empterrman

    Murphy and McDuffie are good comparisons because Murphy didn't spend much time in a Husky uniform. Redshirted 2016 then was injured for most of 2017 and then had a stellar 2018 and was gone to the NFL after sophomore year. I think McDuffie is still a much better player.

    I would say Vita works next to Emtman. I may have said Ron Holmes, but he was actually a DE (before my time). I am tempted to say Gaines because he was such a fucking rock for four full years.

    I’m hearing the 91 team wouldn’t have cracked the depth chart of any Oregon team the last two years

    Hasn't Oregon out recruited UW for years by rankings? Seems like it

    And yet

    PGOS x22. Good enough to start at everyone position on the field.

    QB Penix - yeah. Or Moon. BJ deserves a mention because he didn't lose.

    RB McElhenny - but for those younger than Race Gaskin - also worthy of mention, Kaufman and Dillon.

    WR Rome - it might be a toss up with him and Reggie though. Rome seems like a lot better locker room guy though - I'd go Rome, Reggie and Mario Bailey - that's as short as I can make the list

    TE Bruener - ASJ is the stat guy but he's not THAT GUY - and argument could be made for Aaron Pierce.

    OL Fautanu - I'm curious who the other options are other than Big Linc? I think Kreutz was a bad locker room guy - toss in Benji Olson, Mike Zandofsky and Kevin Gogan for consideration

    DE Reggie Rogers? Recently would have killed for Kikaha on the 2016-18 teams or the past two years - an argument could be made for Ron Homes as well.

    DT Emptmann - easily. Larry Triplett deserves a mention at least.

    LB Hoffman? Probably. Also Mark Stewart, Mason Foster and David Rill deserve a look.

    CB McDuffie the best probably just tragically got wasted. Dana Hall otherwise? I vote Ray Horton.

    S Lawyer or Budda - don't forget Al Worley
