It's not underestimation. He's good but he's not irreplaceable by any means or a huge loss. I'd bet Ahmed runs for more yards per carry than Gaskin did this past season. It's the same situation as losing John Timu and then he's replaced by Azeem Victor. Gaskin has my respect and was a great player for us but better talent is better talent. Gaskin is Timu and Ahmed is Victor.HillsboroDuck said:
Your continued underestimation of Gaskin is tiresome.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'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.

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." -
What in the fuck? Can someone ban this guy or would it be a violation of anti-discrimination laws for picking on the town retard?StrongArmCobra said:

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. -
John fucking Timu. Seriously.

Yeah losing the most productive rb in program history going to hurt

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:

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. -
You're a literal retard if you think Ahmed is even half the running back Gaskin is.StrongArmCobra 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. -
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.
