Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What would have Jake Locker been like under Petersen?

Better.

Babushka would be his position coach. So....., probably marginally better. This year will tell us if babushka is a decent position coach - if jake takes that next step in his development

a safety

Same mom, so...
also, same dad (1 of 2)
Maybe Peterman would have been smart enough to play him at safety. -
Jake would have been a great fullback or linebacker if he were tough. He wasn't tough though. My guess is he would have been a frustrating QB with tons of physical potential but no brains. Kinda like he was under Sark.

Not sure Peterman would have recruited him. Pete wants his QB's to be accurate and good decision makers, Locker's two biggest weaknesses. He doesn't seem enamored with size, arm strength or athleticism (Locker's three biggest strengths).
I'm sure Pete would have given him a token offer, but I don't think he would have gone hard after him. And had Locker still picked UW because he BLEEDS purple I don't think he would have lasted at QB more than a year or two.
But as always, the Locker would have made a great safety idea ignores the fact Locker couldn't stay healthy at QB. No chance he could have stayed healthy at safety. -
I disagree that he wasn't tough. He played through plenty of pain and injuries. He was just injury prone. That's different than being not tough, IMO.chuck said:Jake would have been a great fullback or linebacker if he were tough. He wasn't tough though.

Under Socha he might have been less injury prone. He was under Ivan and we all know how that story ends.dnc said:

Perhaps, but IIRC Jake wasn't tearing ligaments so much as breaking bones. Not sure there's anything a strength coach can do about that, perhaps there is.WeakarmCobra said:
