    My dog who was put down the morning of the Oregon game in 2008 is a better option than Miles. I'm wondering myself why we don't want VA

    Thoughts and prayers man. Thoughts and prayers. We're lucky you can poast here at all after that.

    It's not about whether UW should poach him or not ... one could question whether or not how great Adams is. Everybody sees the 475 yards and 7 TDs that he threw against UW last year. How many of those throws were tight throws that were a fraction of an inch away for being knocked down or even intercepted.

    UW's not in a spot where they are going to compete for a conference title next year (most likely) and development of what is on the roster is more important.

    To me, it's more of a statement of Oregon trying to put themselves in a position to win the division AND speaks to the lack of development that they've had at the QB position on their roster.

    google "Bryan Bennett" and "Jake Rodrigues"

    Every Eastern QB has put up big numbers under Baldwin. Adams is pretty good, but how good?

    Playing well against two middle to bott tier PAC 12 teams is a lot different than doing it for 9 games. Not to mention, he will be in a new offense. Until he proves himself, way too much is being made of this.

    I can’t remember a guy at Husky Stadium throw more perfect TD passes than Vernon Adams did. And I’ve seen everyone play there.

    Adams was dropping dimes. No question about it. He also should have thrown at least two picks. There was very little pressure on him all game and Kikaha dropped into coverage more in that game than any other. The DB's were a disaster for UW early in the year.

    He played for Eastern. I think he can play, but I also bet Taylor Kelly and Sean Mannion would put up great numbers at Eastern too. He could be really good or he could be an average PAC 12 QB. LIPO.

    Take VA, redshirt Jake

    If Oregon or UCLA want VA, it doesn't matter whether UW wants VA or not.

    You mean like Potoae?
    Exactly. Potoae is from Seattle. Vernon Adams is from Pasadena.

    He most likely has no pull to play in Seattle for a team with less potential in 2015 than the ducks or his hometown Broons.

    UW's OL may not be that bad next year (taking a step back at LT but Charles is back at LG, Tufunga could be an upgrade at RG, and since Riva missed the whole year, Shelton should be an improvement at RT) but we don't have the skill guys at WR to be appealing to Adams as a 1 year rental. Plus, let's be honest, so many stars would have to align for us to win the Pac-12 North in 2015 so it would be ideal to figure out the longterm solution to the QB position in KJCS or Browning so that we enter 2016 with a clear leader.

    If I was VA, I'd go home and play for UCLA. I believe they return all of their OL (Oregon loses 3 starters) and all of their skill guys. Neil Mazzone also has experience tailoring his offense towards more pure passers (Rudy Carpenter at ASU and, for a game, Jerry Neuheisel in 2014) while Oregon's offense is predicated on a running QB. Adams already missed 4 games with a foot injury in 2014 so that combined with a relatively small build doesn't lend itself strongly to a spread-option attack (Paul Johnson's offense would be the absolute worst for him).
