The reason why people are high on Browning isn't because of his release, his arm strength, his physical attributes or his numbers in the Mike Leach offense, but rather that he fits the offense that Petersen wants to run here. The two most significant aspects for a QB to have in this offense is accuracy and anticipation, and those seem to be traits that Browning has that Miles, Lindquist and Williams do not (though we should acknowledge the limited coaching and sample size for each). Kellen Moore did not have elite size or the strongest arm and had a low release, yet he went on to win 50 games as a starter and threw for 14667 yards, 143 TDs, and 28 INTs in his career under Petersen. Not that I'm saying Browning is the next Kellen Moore (don't go twisting!), but that he seems to be moore like Moore than the other QBs on the roster.GreenRiverGatorz said:Browning and Eason are in different leagues right now as college prospects. Browning is good, but out of our last five QB recruits, I consider him the worst. He's accurate, pretty mobile, and he puts up gaudy numbers in his Mike Leach offense, but he's not an elite prospect. He has a very low release that needs tweaking, hasn't demonstrated the ability to take anything more than a 3-step drop, and has average arm strength. Plus, who knows how his playing in a painfully simplified offense is going to translate to the college game. Eason on the other hand, is as elite as they come. Of course he has prototypical size, but beyond that he grades out excellently in arm strength, release/mechanics, accuracy, and he isn't hiding any deficiencies through a system offense. Kid is an absolute stud.
Well shit. This is more time than any grown man should spend talking about teenage boys. -
RoadDawg55: That's why I'm not as bullish on Browning as some here, although I like him a lot. He's a great high school QB, but who gives a fuck? He's going to have a lot of competition to win the job. Before Browning, Maty Mauck (Missouri's QB) was destroying the record books. While Mauck is decent for Missouri, he's not setting college football on fire either.

Think I'll go with Petersen on this one. -

That's fine, but Pete offered Bowers and Eason For the '16 class. So, what does it really mean to 'go with Pete'? -

The comments knocking Browning. "He's a great high school QB, but who gives a fuck." And, "of our last 5 QBs, I consider him the worst."
Lots of critics here. -
@RoadDawg55 The TBS'rs over at scout have your boy Malik Henry from Westlake rated #4, while Eason is #5.
Easons film looks good, though he seems to look to leave the pocket and throw on the run a lot. Maybe that's because his OL is shit, or it's just the specific cut of highlights. -

Fuck off, Passion. It's just message board talk. I also said I like Browning a lot. Yes, he is a great high school QB. Cyler Miles, Jeff Lindquist, and Troy Williams were pretty damn good themselves in high school. I am very pleased with Browning's commitment. You want to get a good QB prospect every year and Browning fits the bill.
"Think I'll go with Petersen on this one." Not every QB that Petersen recruits is going to be a star in college. There were other QB's that Petersen recruited at Boise State that were not named Kellen Moore. Browning is going to have a lot of competition for the starting job. That was the point. I wasn't being critical of Browning. -
I can't believe Henry is so highly rated. I would have never believed it watching him against Oaks Christian.BallSacked said:@RoadDawg55 The TBS'rs over at scout have your boy Malik Henry from Westlake rated #4, while Eason is #5.

Regarding Eason, he left the pocket on most of the throws when he went deep. Starting in the middle of the film, he stays in the pocket and throws quick routes. His ball is on an absolute rope too. -
How many of you have recruited to a D 1 school?

I once recruited some women to come to a fraternity party at UW. Does that count?RaceBannon said:How many of you have recruited to a D 1 school?
