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

I'm in town from the bay for the weekend so I'll be at the D1 Section Championship game tonight to watch Browning at Sac State. Not that i'm a professional scout or anything, but i've watched a lot of live football and will relay my thoughts on the guy everyone is calling Kellen Moore Jr.
I have Sacramento high school football pretty dialed in, and the hype in the area about this kid is palpable.

Not one of his passes were errant. Every single ball he threw had a tight spiral, on time, perfectly placed. He moves around great in the pocket, making the subtle side steps that make would be sackers completely miss, all while keeping his head down the field. Throws great on the run, against his body or with. Really impressive stuff tonight.
Teammates absolutely love him, has that leadership vibe that seems to be really contagious. Loved how pissed he got when they were up 45-0 and a holding penalty put them back so they had to settle for a field goal.
He is actually bigger than i thought...was expecting a twig but he's got some decent size and a frame to fill.
The only knock i can make is his ball doesn't seem to have that elite late life. It's not like he's throwing floaters or balls that hang, his arm is still nice and the ball always seem to be on time with anticipation so it really didn't seem like an issue, but I wouldn't say he has a CANNON.
With him coming in the spring, i fully expect him to win the back up job at the least. He is really going to push those guys and I expect 2 to transfer because it's going to be obvious. I would say if it wasn't for the reality of true freshman starting being so rare, i would pen him in, because he looked A LOT better than anything i saw under center this year for UW.
Guys said Jake was more athletic, more like a Kapernick QB that would take off, and Browning was more of a Rothlesburger who was deceptively mobile and stands back and just chucks it all over the field.
These weren't direct comparisons to the NFL players themselves, but from what i saw i totally get it and am encouraged by this perspective. Essentially, Roderiguez was an athlete and browning is a Quarter Back. Roderiguez had great numbers too, but Browning just shattered the books nationally.
How does this happen?
“Really good schemes, good practices, good line play, attention to detail,” says Browning in nearly a whisper."
Where have we heard this before?
Which Jake? Browning? Rodriguez? Lockner?
(I know, context but still.....)
