    John fucking Timu. Seriously.

    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.
    Was Timu that guy who had that brutal dropped pick that would have been a walk in 6?

    Gaskin is a generational talent. Ahmed is a change of pace back.

    My advice is that you navigate to your start menu, select "shut down", and kill yourself.
    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.

    I wait for Eason to attempt a pass in a Husky uniform before I comment...thanks

    He's already "attempted a pass in Husky Stadium," and he did so against the best defense in the conference.

    “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?
    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.

    But you're probably right. He sucks.
    Find where I said he sucks. Spoiler alert...you won't.

    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.
    Suggesting that players and coaches lauded Eason because "what else are they supposed to say" actually shows that you're a boob.

    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.
    Nothing says I love Dawgman quite like Oregon fan on a UW message board smack...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Also, if he is that bad we do actually have depth and competition to supplant the starter now.
    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.
    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.

    I’m personally rooting for Yankoff. If anything, he’s going to be good fodder for the board.
    I'll let Georgia know this wasn't "game action".

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdOojdEkmw
    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.

    Main point though is he will be better than Browning, I don’t think anyone could deny that.
    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.

    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.
    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.

    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 difference does not having Gaskin make? UW has better talent at RB to replace him"....saved

    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.
    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
