What if Petersen came to Washington specifically because he doesn't have balls and knew this was a D 1 payday where no one actually gives a shit about winning big?
Chew on that

That's an interesting poont.
So Cristoball should be gone after going for less than 10 wins this year with a soft as charmin schedule then right?

Built for life philosophy, upper campus wet dream for block head football players.
An outstanding D 1 payday at that.
Browning will force Pete's hand to play Haener at some point versus Utah. We know the receivers want it. COOK IT.
Sometimes in football it's better to be lucky than good. The glorious 2016 campaign was almost over before it started, but Jake got lucky and tore up the script in OT to beat Arizona. What if the ball bounces our way one more time against Auburn and we convert one of those red zone opportunities into 7 more pts? Would Jake somehow be a better QB because he got lucky and we won? Would the program somehow be a better place because we finally got the marque non-con win?
We have a chance at a truly special season. No. Yes.
Edited: I do actually think Jake might be a better QB with that win. It might have gotten that monkey of "not good enough to win it big" off of his back. Now it's ingrained.
Yes, we did have a chance to do something truly speshial. It was a coin flip game that didn't work out. So be it.
Speaking of risk taking: scheduling games like this is the very definition of taking risks for the bigger reward.
The why it didn't work out is important though. It's not because we had some flukey football shit happen or something with a high level of variance. It's because Jake performed in a manner that consistently sabotaged the success of the rest of the team.
I can accept a loss to a good team on some statistical randomness. It's a lot tougher to accept a game we should have won by all of the football play except at one position.
ex. the random bounce of an out of character fumble vs. the super in character throwing a pick straight to the defense

Look, UWDB, I don't disagree with any of your poonts here. The oft stated cliché around (shout out to @Dennis_DeYoung ) is that Pete is doing about 95% really well here and 5% FS. The shitty QB play from a 4 year starter is in the 5% and it's fair game to criticize Pete on this. I suppose I've just reached the point of bashing Browning fatigue and would rather just change the subject when it comes up. I still think a Pac title is well within reach weather Jake or Jake starts and I'd rather focus on the 95% that makes me happy.
Everyone likes to talk about how shit Browning has been, and its correct, but there really is a disturbing trend in not developing the QB or calling a mildly respectable offense that caters to the talents of the QB they have picked to go with.
1) The only time the offense has been moderately good was with two legitimate NFL WRs, gaskins+Coleman, and Tedford telling everyone to fuck off.
2) UW has had plenty of decent bodies and time to recruit and then DEVELOP a decent QB, seriously not one fucking QB has gotten better during their time in the program, all either regress, show up to campus worse than Taylor Bean, or LEAVE.
2014 QBs - Cyler Miles, Troy Williams, Jeff Lindquist all somehow sucked and Pete chose to go with Cyler Miles.
2015 QBs - Jake Browning and KJ Magna Carta, both sucked and Pete chose Jake
2016 QBs - Jake browning and everyone else forgotten and Pete rides or dies with the cobra, Tedford makes the offense look passable at least.
2017 & 2018 TSIFO
3) The offensive play calling has always been fucking full retard.

Like I said, I'm tired of Jake being the scapegoat too. Winners win. This team SHOULD win the Pac12 regardless of Jake. No excuses.
Jakes bad but he's not some next level of bad that torpedoes the rest of the talent on the team. If he is that bad and you are allowing him to torpedo the whole team then that's not on Jake that's on the coaches.
That means you are higher than 5% FS. That means I really do start to wonder if Petermen can win a Natty here which in turn leads to the question, are you willing to have a "good" coach that can win against inferior talent but can't win it big at UW? If I told you we can win the Pac12 1/3 years and occasionally a NY6 but nothing more is that good enough?
Don't twist, I'm not there yet but if Jake/coaching fucks our season again and we lose the North I'm going to be wondering at these things.

The minimum bar to judge Pete on is DJ- i.e., win the Pac once every three years, and always be playing football games that matter in November. DJ took 9 17 years to win his NT. Dabo took 8.5. Where in year 5 of Pete. It's way to early to start making judgments as to whether or not he can win a NT or let along match DJ's level of success.

Honestly I think it's the defense this season that has a better chance of letting us down than Jake and the offense. lack of pass rush and ZERO play making ability in the front 7 is very concerning. No picks by our DBs in two games doesn't look good either.
