Was Timu that guy who had that brutal dropped pick that would have been a walk in 6?StrongArmCobra said:
He was a good player for us and he's an NFL player. Many were worried about losing him. Then Victor exploded on the scene and nobody missed Timu. Ahmed will explode on the scene and nobody will miss Gaskin as a player.BleachedAnusDawg said:John fucking Timu. Seriously.

Generational talent? Jesus you're so fucking stupid and doogish and know nothing about talent. You're blinding homerism is insane. Gaskin is no more talented than really any RB on UW's roster except Sean McGrew. He's small, lacks power, and lacks break away speed. He has the body of a high school running back. Vision, quick feet, great lateral movement, great hands, durability, and consistency are his strengths. Generational talent is Saquan Barkley type talent. Gaskin was a great player for us, but a regular talent.Sources said:

My advice is that you navigate to your start menu, select "shut down", and kill yourself. -
Nothing says I love Dawgman quite like Oregon fan on a UW message board smack...Passion said:
Suggesting that players and coaches lauded Eason because "what else are they supposed to say" actually shows that you're a boob.greenblood said:
Find where I said he sucks. Spoiler alert...you won't.Passion said:
We had 4 QBs on the roster last year that could've competed against the starting defense - Eason, Haener, Sirmon and Yankoff. The coaches went with Eason, and it wasn't a close call.greenblood said:Passion said:
He's already "attempted a pass in Husky Stadium," and he did so against the best defense in the conference.greenblood said:I wait for Eason to attempt a pass in a Husky uniform before I comment...thanks
“He’s definitely given us a great look. He’s going to be a great quarterback for sure,” UW defensive tackle Greg Gaines said Saturday. “He’s got a hell of an arm.”
“It’s been awesome, and it’s been competitive,” Jimmy Lake said. “Our two hard-work days of the week — our Tuesday and Wednesday practices — we let him go. He has the scout card, but it’s like, ‘Eason, let’s go. Try to dice us up. Try to beat us.’ And it definitely made us better, for sure, to have an elite quarterback like that to face week in and week out.

What do you expect them to say?
But you're probably right. He sucks.
I specifically said he didn't suck. I'm LIPO mode with him, as any reasonable outsider should be. Now if you want to get all butt hurt and put words in my mouth, then go ahead. It just reinforces how dumb you are.
You're also a little pathetic considering you're a fan of the trash in eugene but you spend so much time here. Pretty sad.
They were posed a question on Eason, do you really think if he was average, they would say that? Hell no...
I'm also not saying the coaches are lying, but I need to see it on the field before I take what they say to heart. -
Passion this is almost as dumb as Ballz' Gaskin argument.Passion said:

Scout team QBs always get hyped. Especially ones that are big time former 5* transfers from Georgia. The statements are meaningless.
And touting that he beat out two freshmen and a midget QB that nobody wanted is nearly as meaningless. -
A shoulder injury really doesn't affect what your legs do as a RUNNING back. He wasn't run into the ground. UW rotated in the other backs a good amount. Cool story bro but Deanthony Thomas is irrelevant to Salvon Ahmed.greenblood said:
Gaskin had 4.9 yards per carry with one shoulder. Let's also not forget the Peterson basically ran him into the ground. Gaskin had 30 more carries this year with 1-2 fewer games than any season before. I'm also not impressed with 5.8 yards per carry with Ahmed's limited touches. People in Eugene were stoked about DeAnthony Thomas and his nearly 8.0 yards per carry heading into his Jr year. When he became the main point of the running game he dropped to just over 6 yards per carry. We'll see if Ahmed can keep his average going on a full workload.StrongArmCobra said:
Ahmed has good vision and there are moments when he shows flashes of amazing vision and elusiveness. He just needs to make better decisions and be more decisive and stop trying to bounce everything to the outside just because he's fast. It's a learning process.greenblood said:
"What difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him"....savedStrongArmCobra said:
He didn't have Ridley to throw to his Freshman season. Georgia's receivers were average. His favorite target was his best friend and coke snorting buddy Isaac Ngata. The receivers were a bunch of Jaydon Mickens midget JAGS. Georgia has greatly improved their WR talent since then.greenblood said:
That's true...but he also doesn't have Gaskin behind him, and Ridley to throw to. I'm not saying he sucks by any means. However, I really need to see how this guy plays on the field at UW before I make an assessment. I also don't pay much attention to coach and player speak. They'll say any non locker room cancer player is talented.CuntWaffle said:
This throw makes me as hard as a diamond (hi chatch!) but it is only one throw. His overall stats at Georgia were meh. Much better competition than the pac 12 makes me hopeful that he will be a stud but I’m in LIPO.Sources said:
I'll let Georgia know this wasn't "game action".greenblood said:
I agree with you about Browning. But the only other player to throw a meaningful pass at UW was terrible. You can’t really say anything until we actually see them in game action.GreenRiverGatorz said:
As much as we hate Browning, I still think we underestimate just how much he held back the offense. I see people consistently criticize our WRs, and it's somewhat fair given their lack of production and some notable drops towards the end of the year. But the way I see it, we really don't know what we have in that group because Jake could only throw to about 40% of their route trees. And the throws that were there and within his range he often didn't attempt because his vision was so fucking poor.UW_Doog_Bot said:
He doesn't even need to be good for an improvement. Just not so bad he holds the team back like Browning did. Not a tough bar to clear.greenblood said:I wait for Eason to attempt a pass in a Husky uniform before I comment...thanks
Also, if he is that bad we do actually have depth and competition to supplant the starter now.
I’m personally rooting for Yankoff. If anything, he’s going to be good fodder for the board.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdOojdEkmw
Main point though is he will be better than Browning, I don’t think anyone could deny that.
I felt the same way about Mariota when he won the starting job. Then in the first half of game one, he showed how special he was. Eason could very well be special, but I want to see it first.
What difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him with and a very good O-line returning. Running the ball won't be a problem.
You're just reaching for straws bro. Just keep it real and say "I would rather hold out hope for the 0.01% chance Eason sucks instead of just accepting now the high likelihood he tears Oregon defense a new one with his amazing arm."
You have got to be kidding me...
Ahmed for sure has tremendous speed and good size. Unfortunately, his vision is terrible. When he hits the hole, he's great, but most often he misses it. You can't coach speed and athleticism, which Ahmed has over Gaskin. However, Gaskin's vision is what made him elite, and that you really can't teach. Gaskin turned lost yards and no gains into 5-6 yard plays or home runs, repeatedly. You are going to regret that comment because Gaskin isn't that far off from Napoleon Kaufman and Corey Dillon. To say Gaskin leaving isn't going to hurt is an insult to one of the best backs in UW history, and also an insult to your remaining brain cells.
Kamari Pleasant ran for 5.1 yards per carry, Sean McGrew ran for 4.5 yards per carry, and Salvon Ahmed ran for 5.8 yards per carry. Gaskin ran for 4.9 yards per carry. It's not a big loss because the guys coming up behind him are good too. -

So apparently, if a running back takes a hit on an injured shoulder, it shouldn't impact his rushing ability...that's great intel SAC.

Yeah except Tony Brooks-James sucks and is nowhere near as talented as Royce Freeman. It's the opposite in UW's case. We lose an all-time great back but the guy behind him is more talented and will probably be running behind a better O-line as a starter.RatherBeBrewing said:We're not going to miss Royce Freeman in 2018, we have Tony Brooks-James. And he averaged 9.0 YPC as a freshman an 7.6 YPC as a sophomore. Royce Freeman only averaged like 5.4 YPC that season like some pathetic scrub, so TBJ will be way better.
It will be just like the time Kiko Alonso was leaving and everyone was panicking and then we got Rodney Hardrick. -

It will be just like the time Kiko Alonso was leaving and everyone was panicking and then we got Rodney Hardrick.It's the opposite in UW's case.We lose an all-time great backbut the guy behind him is more talented and will probably be running behind a better O-line as a starter.

Yeah that's what I thought bitch. Turn to a gif because you ain't got shit to say. You're argument is retarded. You're throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. When Gaskin was allowed to play, his shoulder injury did not limit his performance at all. Eat. A. Dick.greenblood said:StrongArmCobra said:
No it doesn't. Gaskin's a tough little fucker. A shoulder injury is not going to limit the yards he gets.greenblood said:
Another screen shot. I'm getting some good material today.StrongArmCobra said:
A shoulder injury really doesn't affect what your legs do as a RUNNING back. He wasn't run into the ground. UW rotated in the other backs a good amount. Cool story bro but Deanthony Thomas is irrelevant to Salvon Ahmed.greenblood said:
Gaskin had 4.9 yards per carry with one shoulder. Let's also not forget the Peterson basically ran him into the ground. Gaskin had 30 more carries this year with 1-2 fewer games than any season before. I'm also not impressed with 5.8 yards per carry with Ahmed's limited touches. People in Eugene were stoked about DeAnthony Thomas and his nearly 8.0 yards per carry heading into his Jr year. When he became the main point of the running game he dropped to just over 6 yards per carry. We'll see if Ahmed can keep his average going on a full workload.StrongArmCobra said:
Ahmed has good vision and there are moments when he shows flashes of amazing vision and elusiveness. He just needs to make better decisions and be more decisive and stop trying to bounce everything to the outside just because he's fast. It's a learning process.greenblood said:
"What difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him"....savedStrongArmCobra said:
He didn't have Ridley to throw to his Freshman season. Georgia's receivers were average. His favorite target was his best friend and coke snorting buddy Isaac Ngata. The receivers were a bunch of Jaydon Mickens midget JAGS. Georgia has greatly improved their WR talent since then.greenblood said:
That's true...but he also doesn't have Gaskin behind him, and Ridley to throw to. I'm not saying he sucks by any means. However, I really need to see how this guy plays on the field at UW before I make an assessment. I also don't pay much attention to coach and player speak. They'll say any non locker room cancer player is talented.CuntWaffle said:
This throw makes me as hard as a diamond (hi chatch!) but it is only one throw. His overall stats at Georgia were meh. Much better competition than the pac 12 makes me hopeful that he will be a stud but I’m in LIPO.Sources said:
I'll let Georgia know this wasn't "game action".greenblood said:
I agree with you about Browning. But the only other player to throw a meaningful pass at UW was terrible. You can’t really say anything until we actually see them in game action.GreenRiverGatorz said:
As much as we hate Browning, I still think we underestimate just how much he held back the offense. I see people consistently criticize our WRs, and it's somewhat fair given their lack of production and some notable drops towards the end of the year. But the way I see it, we really don't know what we have in that group because Jake could only throw to about 40% of their route trees. And the throws that were there and within his range he often didn't attempt because his vision was so fucking poor.UW_Doog_Bot said:
He doesn't even need to be good for an improvement. Just not so bad he holds the team back like Browning did. Not a tough bar to clear.greenblood said:I wait for Eason to attempt a pass in a Husky uniform before I comment...thanks
Also, if he is that bad we do actually have depth and competition to supplant the starter now.
I’m personally rooting for Yankoff. If anything, he’s going to be good fodder for the board.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdOojdEkmw
Main point though is he will be better than Browning, I don’t think anyone could deny that.
I felt the same way about Mariota when he won the starting job. Then in the first half of game one, he showed how special he was. Eason could very well be special, but I want to see it first.
What difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him with and a very good O-line returning. Running the ball won't be a problem.
You're just reaching for straws bro. Just keep it real and say "I would rather hold out hope for the 0.01% chance Eason sucks instead of just accepting now the high likelihood he tears Oregon defense a new one with his amazing arm."
You have got to be kidding me...
Ahmed for sure has tremendous speed and good size. Unfortunately, his vision is terrible. When he hits the hole, he's great, but most often he misses it. You can't coach speed and athleticism, which Ahmed has over Gaskin. However, Gaskin's vision is what made him elite, and that you really can't teach. Gaskin turned lost yards and no gains into 5-6 yard plays or home runs, repeatedly. You are going to regret that comment because Gaskin isn't that far off from Napoleon Kaufman and Corey Dillon. To say Gaskin leaving isn't going to hurt is an insult to one of the best backs in UW history, and also an insult to your remaining brain cells.
Kamari Pleasant ran for 5.1 yards per carry, Sean McGrew ran for 4.5 yards per carry, and Salvon Ahmed ran for 5.8 yards per carry. Gaskin ran for 4.9 yards per carry. It's not a big loss because the guys coming up behind him are good too.
So apparently, if a running back takes a hit on an injured shoulder, it shouldn't impact his rushing ability...that's great intel SAC. -

Timu was a highly productive college player. Very instinctual player. But he went undrafted and is struggling to stay in the league as a back up ILB.

Prior to his leg injury Azeem was clearly more talented than Timu. He had no real playing experience before becoming a starter and he was immediately an upgrade over Timu.
Ahmed is clearly more talented than Gaskin. He's bigger, more explosive, and faster over long distances. He has the ability to shock you with his vision and elusiveness when he's just playing free and running to daylight instead of thinking too much. He's a special talent. I predict he'll be an upgrade over Gaskin. That's not at all an outlandish prediction. Holla at me at the end of the season and we'll see who's better. -
He doesn’t break tackles and he seems to not have great vision between the tackles. Usually what you see is what you get by the 4th season. I thought Ahmed would breakout this season and he was largely underwhelming as far as star power. He is dangerous but not consistent.StrongArmCobra said:

He didn't have Ridley to throw to his Freshman season. Georgia's receivers were average. His favorite target was his best friend and coke snorting buddy Isaac Ngata. The receivers were a bunch of Jaydon Mickens midget JAGS. Georgia has greatly improved their WR talent since then.greenblood said:
That's true...but he also doesn't have Gaskin behind him, and Ridley to throw to. I'm not saying he sucks by any means. However, I really need to see how this guy plays on the field at UW before I make an assessment. I also don't pay much attention to coach and player speak. They'll say any non locker room cancer player is talented.CuntWaffle said:
This throw makes me as hard as a diamond (hi chatch!) but it is only one throw. His overall stats at Georgia were meh. Much better competition than the pac 12 makes me hopeful that he will be a stud but I’m in LIPO.Sources said:

I agree with you about Browning. But the only other player to throw a meaningful pass at UW was terrible. You can’t really say anything until we actually see them in game action.GreenRiverGatorz said:
As much as we hate Browning, I still think we underestimate just how much he held back the offense. I see people consistently criticize our WRs, and it's somewhat fair given their lack of production and some notable drops towards the end of the year. But the way I see it, we really don't know what we have in that group because Jake could only throw to about 40% of their route trees. And the throws that were there and within his range he often didn't attempt because his vision was so fucking poor.UW_Doog_Bot said:
He doesn't even need to be good for an improvement. Just not so bad he holds the team back like Browning did. Not a tough bar to clear.greenblood said:I wait for Eason to attempt a pass in a Husky uniform before I comment...thanks
Also, if he is that bad we do actually have depth and competition to supplant the starter now.
I’m personally rooting for Yankoff. If anything, he’s going to be good fodder for the board.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdOojdEkmw
Main point though is he will be better than Browning, I don’t think anyone could deny that.
I felt the same way about Mariota when he won the starting job. Then in the first half of game one, he showed how special he was. Eason could very well be special, but I want to see it first.
What difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him with and a very good O-line returning. Running the ball won't be a problem.
You're just reaching for straws bro. Just keep it real and say "I would rather hold out hope for the 0.01% chance Eason sucks instead of just accepting now the high likelihood he tears Oregon defense a new one with his amazing arm."
You have got to be kidding me...
Ahmed for sure has tremendous speed and good size. Unfortunately, his vision is terrible. When he hits the hole, he's great, but most often he misses it. You can't coach speed and athleticism, which Ahmed has over Gaskin. However, Gaskin's vision is what made him elite, and that you really can't teach. Gaskin turned lost yards and no gains into 5-6 yard plays or home runs, repeatedly. You are going to regret that comment because Gaskin isn't that far off from Napoleon Kaufman and Corey Dillon. To say Gaskin leaving isn't going to hurt is an insult to one of the best backs in UW history, and also an insult to your remaining brain cells.
Kamari Pleasant ran for 5.1 yards per carry, Sean McGrew ran for 4.5 yards per carry, and Salvon Ahmed ran for 5.8 yards per carry. Gaskin ran for 4.9 yards per carry. It's not a big loss because the guys coming up behind him are good too.
So apparently, if a running back takes a hit on an injured shoulder, it shouldn't impact his rushing ability...that's great intel SAC.
MMFG = John Timu
Prior to his leg injury Azeem was clearly more talented than Timu. He had no real playing experience before becoming a starter and he was immediately an upgrade over Timu.
Ahmed is clearly more talented than Gaskin. He's bigger, more explosive, and faster over long distances. He has the ability to shock you with his vision and elusiveness when he's just playing free and running to daylight instead of thinking too much. He's a special talent. I predict he'll be an upgrade over Gaskin. That's not at all an outlandish prediction. Holla at me at the end of the season and we'll see who's better.

For the record Gaskin outran Ahmed straight up when they raced.
You can claim "game speed" differences but as far as raw talent is concerned, Ahmed is no significant upgrade over Gaskin in the speed category. He's so far a downgrade as far as vision and reading the play. I think he can put that together as the full tim back, but maybe not.
Run game won't be the rock it has been but it also won't need to be with a qb that can throw downfield.
Gaskin was all tim. Ahmed won't need to be to see similar production. I say all of this as a fan of Ahmed. -

Timu was a highly productive college player. Very instinctual player. But he went undrafted and is struggling to stay in the league as a back up ILB. Myles Gaskin was a highly productive college player. Very instinctual player as well. He'll be a late round pick or go undrafted and struggle to make an NFL roster and stay in the league.HillsboroDuck said:
