Myles Gaskin

Few players are so great that they transcend their position. Rather than being a great lineman or a great quarterback or a great linebacker, some guys are just great football players. They do everything well.

In my view, Myles Gaskin is one of the best football players in UW history. He does everything well and makes the entire team better.

Hard to believe his last game at Husky Stadium is this Saturday.

    It's amazing to me how underappreciated Myles is. Especially after that Cal debacle in his absence.

    Remember the Rose Bowl that was lost to michigan? The next year after the national championship season?

    The way tyrone wheatley ran the ball against Steve Hoffmann vs how he would’ve ran against Steve Emtman was so stark that it boggles the mind.

    I feel the cal and oregon games were both losses that WOULD have gone the other way if Myles was completely healthy.

    How is he underappreciated? He’s a very, very good college RB. A top 5 one for certain at UW and maybe even top 2-3.

    I hear you.

    I was a student when Kaufman was at UW. The guy was viewed as a God from the moment he stepped foot on campus. I don't think Myles is perceived the same way, and Kaufman had better QBs, better defenses and a better offensive line.

    Napolean and Myles have different skillsets, but I think that Myles belongs in that rare company with Mcelhenny, Kaufman, and Dillon in terms of RBs. And - as I said in my original post - I think he is one of the greatest football players (regardless of position) in UW history.
    We started to worship the QB during the long decade of defeat, before that really.

    When Nip showed up the running game was king and O linemen could be the star of the recruiting class

    I remember when Lincoln Kennedy was a freshman standing on the sidelines because Freshmen linemen didn't play under James all that often, marveling at his size and can't waiting to see him play

    Now that football is 7 on 7 the QB is the guy and they all get stats
