Re: secondary - guys progress. I happen to think Lake is a good coach and having 3 Fr back there a yr older and coached up will be improved.

The stats don't ensure success, but if a QB only completing 50% of your passes in high school, accuracy probably isn't a strength.chuck said:I can list a few moderately non-fucktarded reasons to believe KJCS COULD be the QB next year. These are reasons I'd expect him to be ahead of Browning and which give him a shot of passing Miles:
1) Athletically similar to Miles, which he'll need to be with the UW O line.
2) Had a year to grow up and toughen up, which he'll need with the UW O line
3) Had a year to learn the offense and tighten any issues with his throwing
4) Has solid arm strength
5) Is not a dude-brah recruit and is untainted by the Sark QB "system"
None of these are overly compelling, but I won't rule him out. His stats in HS are meaningless. People keep pointing out that Browning's don't mean anything, but then KJCS's get referenced as though they do. Hyphen can run and he can throw, and he's had some time to get coached.
Miles simply is what he is...a potentially solid game manager. He's only a bit above average as a runner and isn't good on the zone read plays. He can win with a good running game and when playing from ahead. You don't always get those luxuries.
We know Browning will be accurate. He likely has the mental capacity to play QB. The questions with him are size and arm strength related and if he has the raw talent to really make a mark in the PAC 12. -
I know your being Sarkastic, but as trebuchet can actually throw far and with a LOT of force.H_D said:
Seriously?dnc said:I'm not convinced his arm is any stronger than Mileys. He's certainly better at reading defenses, stepping up in the pocket, and basically not being a dumbass though.
It's got to be better than:
There were 20 yard passes that had hangtime a punter would be envious of. Browning has got to have a better arm than that.
Remember, he will have all winter to rest his fatigued arm.
It doesn't need to bring in a white catapult to throw a hail mary. -
It's more a commentary on the slow, deliberate throwing motion. A trebuchet with a shitty release point, can be horribly inaccurate and float the object up in the air ala wounded duck.ThomasFremont said:

Wtf'd for implying John Denver is athletic in any sense. He's not athletic, he's not cerebral.chuck said:I can list a few moderately non-fucktarded reasons to believe KJCS COULD be the QB next year. These are reasons I'd expect him to be ahead of Browning and which give him a shot of passing Miles:

He's basically a fucking hyphen-name. -
It's a bit comical how the tune has changed about how freshman don't really play at QB after we have just been steamrolled by OKY ST's.
Better hope Browning is legit. -
FWIW, KJCS committed to Vanderbilt in March and shut down his recruiting early on. It wasn't until Franklin jumped to Penn State that KJCS wanted to look around, and the only major school that needed a QB on the west coast was UW.RoadDawg55 said:I really think the KJ train is pressing. Admittedly, I have never seen him play and could be completely wrong. As a senior he led an 8-4 team. He played on a run heavy team and barely completed 50% of his passes. Accuracy is the #1 thing Petersen looks for in a QB.
KJCS from Cali and he didn't have one Pac 12 offer until Petersen poached him. The QB picking are slim in December. Everyone talks about how he is Petersen's guy, but how likely is it that Petersen would have chose him the previous Spring? It seems to be basically a shotgun marriage. KJCS was looking for a place to play after Franklin left Vandy and Petersen needed a QB after Greene bolted to USC.
I think it's Miles or Browning. KJCS factors in if the staff wants to redshirt Browning, but Charles and others don't think that happens. We will get a slightly better idea in the Spring.
Additionally, we've heard praises from the coaching staff of how KJCS has played, even earning offensive scout team player of the year (which I take with a grain of salt, but hey, it's something to point to). -
Coaches praised Miles' play too. How much of it is just coach-speak?whatshouldicareabout said:RoadDawg55 said:I really think the KJ train is pressing.

Pete played Kellen Moore as a freshman... a QB without a single Pac 10 offer.
The right freshman are ready to play. Miley just started his last game. -
Pretty sure Moore was a redshirt freshman....sarktastic said:Pete played Kellen Moore as a freshman... a QB without a single Pac 10 offer.
