I can understand if people wanted to give Jake a shot this year. I was fully done with him after USC last year.
I didn’t like him after his freshman year that much (the choking), but was pleased with what looked like improvement against Stanford in particular.
But it looks like that was an anomaly and he was always what I first thought. There are many times that doesn’t happen (Coleman Shelton), but in this case he sucked from game 1 and there were optimists and that’s fine.
I was in the LIPO camp with Jake for 2017- i.e., see if he could show growth in terms of handling adversity. Barring a major turn of events, the evidence is in, and he's not going to be that guy. All that being said, and in spite of Jake Browning sucking, we're still going to be playing meaningful football games in October in November, something many here have only seen once previously in their adult lives. So, I'm going to put my head in the sand and hope for the best. I can't show up to Husky Stadium at 1230PM later this month stressing out about Jake. So the Defense better do it's fucking job as Pete said and score points and get us fucking turnovers.
You're entering the doog zone.
I'm a lot more cynical than you. Jake isn't going to magically grow a pair and the OC is what he is.
It's up to Petersen to retool the team. It's going to take a Don James post 1986 Sun Bowl type of paradigm shift.
Disagree on entering Doog Zone. Doogs have low expectations, and nothing I said implies this. My expectation remains that we should win conference in spite of Jake, and if we don't the season is a disappointment (more so if we don't take the North at minimum). One can be a Posi Dawg and still have high expectations.
I don't think Pete is in need to a late 80's Don James level paradigm shit. Yes, we could tighten up the offense some and make it less overly analytical, but recruiting better at QB, WR and OL is ultimately what is going to get us to the next level. Non bed shitting QB and some bad ass receivers and we're not even having this conversation; and that's with the current level of OL talent.

All that being said, Jake Browning sucks.
Totally agree with simplifying the offense. Like I mentioned in a post a day or two ago; keep it simple, stupid. Pete is smart enough to have realized by now how much Browning sucks. He has a weak mind to go with his weak arm. The shit-show passing strategy needs to be scrubbed.
Pete should also know by now that Smith cannot game-plan AND he can't make adjustments. He keeps doing the same shit over and over again even if it's not working.
It’s great to say that I’m employing selective data ... the problem is that Jake’s performance in tight games is an utter disaster. There’s no way around that.
I’d love for the data to say that Jake isn’t a front running bitch ...
Unfortunately the data shows that when he gets punched in the mouth he almost never gets up off the mat and responds.
That’s not opinion ... that’s factual at this point.

I think we've seen Jake's ceiling, unless Smiffy gets fired and replaced with a QB Coach that instills some toughness in him. Even if that were to happen, Jake seems to have only one gear, and lacks the intensity to elevate his game when he needs to. A better QB coach could help him make better throws and decisions, but Jake is still gonna Jake, cause he is what is.
I got boobs flagged (and I’ll save him trouble and probably receive another, by admitting it is just). Now I’m going to do my best Brownsocks impersonation by running around my mom’s basement in total panic before banging into a wall to avoid the phantoms I’ve conjured. Being such a pussy, I probably won’t recover.
Of Browning’s being a pussy, I had a brief glimmer of hope him being otherwise last year when Jake drew the unsportsmanlike penalty for pointing during the Oregon game. I realize people are usually who they are, but there are moments when we try to become more, which if nurtured can be transformative. Not asserting he had the potential, but it is a shame if CP’s discipline confirmed Brownsocks as a PFL (pussy for life).

But Teq has said it right. He sucks. It’s over.
