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?

Locker is in the same IQ range as Jeremiah Masoli, maybe a bit dumber. Since QBs need grey matter to succeed, I'm not sure he would have done well in Chip Kelly's offense.

He had all the tools except he was not smart and he was not accurate. Both can be improved with coaching, but on some level he was lacking naturally in both those areas.Tequilla said:

I'll never get the Locker hate, but for Christ's sake, if you've been paying any attention at all to the last three years then you know the whole fucking team would have been much better.
Locker had all the tools necessary to be a good QB ...
He never really was in a great position from a development, coaching, or team position to grow into a truly elite level player.
I don't blame him one bit for walking away from the NFL ... if you aren't 100% in ... then you should be 100% out. -
Listening to players from the 70s they'd tell you that Terry Bradshaw was beyond stupid ...RoadDawg55 said:

I don't think you have to be a Mensa to be a good QB ... sometimes those that are smarter can get into ruts where they overthink things (something I am guilty of from time to time). Sometimes ignorance can be bliss where you just go and aren't slowed down by excess thought.
It'll obviously never be proven one way or another but I can envision where Locker would have been a very good QB at UW and very good NFL QB. Talent by itself doesn't get you everywhere. Locker had it. But a lot of other things for one reason or another were not where they needed to be. -

I never hated him. That being said, when I interviewed 40 players from the 2008 team they told me about the organized coup to have Ty removed. Players went to Jake because they knew they needed him on board. And Jake refused to get involved. This was in January 2008. And the 0-12 season soon followed.Tequilla said:
Very interested in your last comment ... please elaborateRaceBannon said:Locker was and is a pussy.
But the hate comes from allowing himself to be used to keep Ty -
Football was a lot different in the 1970s than in the 2000s.Tequilla said:

Also, water is wet. -
Bradshaw had good instincts .. to go along with a team full of hall of fame players on both sides of the ball and hall of fame coaching on the sidelines. #STEELCURTAINAZDuck said:
