    An interesting note is that neither of these QB's was wanted by hardly anyone. I think Marcus had one D-1 offer and Herbert was a local Eugene kid that no one had on their radar.

    Both those statements are incorrect. Marcus and Herbert weren’t highly recruited when Oregon offered, but as it got closer to signing day other programs turned up the heat on them.

    No your statement is incorrect. all you have to do is look at the offers............that means read information.

    Do you make an effort to be this ignorant or does it come naturally. You seem to eschew truth and reality.

    Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota considered Huskies before signing with Ducks

    https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/oregon-quarterback-marcus-mariota-considered-huskies-before-signing-with-ducks/

    "On the flight from Seattle back home to Hawaii three years ago, Marcus Mariota made a decision.

    “Mom,” he said, “I’m going to be a Husky.”

    “He was a fantastic player in camp,” Sarkisian said. “He hadn’t started on his high school football team quite yet, so there was some hesitation on our part, quite honestly, in evaluating him.”

    Indeed, Mariota didn’t start at Honolulu’s St. Louis High School until his senior season. Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, now in his first season as the successor to Chip Kelly as the UO head coach, was one of the first recruiters to discover Mariota before the quarterback’s senior season.

    “It was certainly bizarre,” Helfrich said Tuesday of recruiting Mariota. “I think he was an unknown because he didn’t play. … And the more you talked with people around the high school and the football team, he kind of just took on this legendary-like status of just a great person, great student. And then to watch him play; I can remember calling Chip and going, ‘This guy’s unbelievable.’


    “And then we made the decision to offer (a scholarship) from there and the rest, as they say, is history.”
    *****************************************************************
    A three-star recruit, Mariota wasn’t even offered a scholarship by Hawaii, his hometown school.
    *****************************************************************
    “When I first started getting attention from Oregon, I was pretty surprised,” he said.

    The decision between the Huskies and Ducks (5-0), the two rival schools, came down to “the whole package of Oregon,” he said. “That whole process was an interesting one, and I’m thankful that things turned out the way they did.”

    The redshirt sophomore, listed at 6 feet 4, 211 pounds, with a 4.48-second 40-yard time, has 21 touchdowns (14 passing, seven rushing) and no interceptions. He hasn’t played a single snap in the fourth quarter this season for an Oregon offense averaging 59.2 points.

    “Credit to Oregon, they went for it on him before we did,” Sarkisian said. “We tried to come in late and he stuck with his commitment to Oregon. He’s a heck of a player for them. What can you say?”

    247 stops updating offer info when a guy commits. It says he had no offer from UW despite you linking to an article where it clearly says UW offered him,

    You said he only had one other offer, but literally linked to 2 separate sources saying he had an offer from Memphis and UW....your own links say you’re wrong.

    The Ducks put up similar rushing numbers against BGSU as powerhouses like Ohio, Buffalo and Kent State did last year. I'm sure glad we? have 6 future NFL starters in the 2 deep, imagine how bad it would have been without them.

    In BGSU's last 13 games, only 3 teams have rushed for fewer yards than Oregon did. That's fucking pathetic.
    In 35 carries by the RBs, the long run was 15 yards.
    Herbert was Oregon's leading rusher until the 2nd to last series of the game.

    We? have a bottom half of the conference LB corps again.

    It was super awesome watching a senior safety and pre season AA junior LB fail to cover a dude with 6 seconds left in the half. There were 3 defenders and 2 route runners and all 3 defenders took the same guy. Fucking brilliant.

    The secondary didn't play poorly, but BGSU's only WR had a career fucking night in receptions and yards? 13 for 166 and 2 tugs. Imagine what's going to happen against Furd if they do "play poorly".

    Herbert better than Mariota? Fucking el oh el what other garbage hot takes do you have?

    Herbert has a ton of talent but he is not Marcus.
    You're right, he is better. Mariota still can't make half the throw Herbie does on a regular basis. Mariota was a bit better runner which translates to about 1.5 seasons of added success in the NFL.

    Herbert has a significantly higher NFL ceiling.

    I meant one offer other than the Ducks. Washington came in late when it was already a done deal. Big deal. The main point is almost everyone passed on him.

    Also you or someone said people came in late. Washington, realizing their mistake came in late. I believe they were the only ones. So in the end the future Heisman trophy winner had 3 offers. That sure is much more significant.
