You don't have to be Bama to win a title and Clemson has proven it twice.. You need to stack double digit blue chip classes to build depth to handle attrition, land 1-2 Elite players per year, and have elite coaching and development.

TL:DR
UW is on this trajectory as I've stated many times. Kill the coaching blunders and become the elite coach that that Petersen is, then land some fucking elite players like Smalls, Banks, and all of the 2021 kids.
@uzi, if you don't like the format go fuck yourself (AKA would you want to put this in a spreadsheet for me because I again wasn't able to put together a spreadsheet for it because we are "entertaining" guests and every time I get on my computer I get fucking glared at.... I DON'T WANT TO ENTERTAIN THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUR DUMBFUCK FRIENDS AND YOU HATE THEM AS MUCH AS I DO HONEY!)
I understood very little of this, but twatted nonetheless.
Not even sure if I understand it myself. But offseason is offseason and this was the last peace before the real season kicks in.
Most definitely trite, assuredly passé, definitely not facile.
Methinks Airwold hated Chest’s version and how much he talks about it on his pod (who wouldn’t?) and thus doesn’t give mine a chance.
Hahah, yeah, not sure why @AIRWOLF shit on your chest for good luck
He took a big steamy shit on all of us and then left for what he considers greener pastures. They all did, but it’s chill with me.
He’s a good guy with good content. But he sucks for leaving and I’ve given up on scrolling through that shit format forum.
If Wuff ever shit on us*, I haven't seen it. He wants to do his own thing without the taint of the Tug, whatever, God bless.
All I know is @DoogCourics is doing the Lord's work around this shit hole and deserves a raise. Expect Lemon Party and 20 Sven bucks in your inbox tomorrow.
Strong agreement here. Doug Courics is our MVP right now. You can't find this kind of content on BD2W. You just can't.
To be fair, it might be there. But you won't actually find it on those boreds.
I'm a bit concerned Balkanization of the Half Brain movement. Should we really be splitting our forces like this? It seems like the #filth has gotten to be too much for some.
Meh, me not worried. There's some HCH crossover to BD2W but it looks to me to have much more dawgman crossover, plus a collection of Husky twitter. That is, people to have at most lurked here and would never be poasters. They're doing a different thing. For me, it's kinda boring and the forum platform itself sucks real bad. But it was fun seeing sonics shitting on Echlund the other day. Sorry, no link, I don't expect to ever find that poast again.
Anyhow, I'm glad that crowd has found a place. Dawgspeed to them.
Ps: Articles on analytics looks to be their bread & butter.

Thanks for the reassurance. I must admit I've been concerned we'd lose a bit of our "serious" football analysis to the BD2W movement. I've lurked a bit there and it definitely has a far different flavor than HH. Hopefully, you're right and most of the market share they take is from DM.

It's funny watching the HCH flavor mixing with the more earnest audience they have.
Regarding market share, this isn't a zero sum game right now. The rising program has and will continue to bring in new fans and old ones off the sidelines. That's one thing that Chest got wrong on his way out.
And regarding your earlier concern on #filth, the great thing about the low moderation ethos we* have, the filth finds its own level over tim.

Further more, every bored here has its own culture and folks seem to respeck that for the most part. My bored got started as the outlet for those who needed a good OT space but hated the Tug. Seems to be going fine.

I don't get people like that. I take breaks from forums that get tiresome. The Tug is a place that gets extremely repetitive, is entirely monolithic in POV, and often dominated by 4 or 5 posters. Sometimes I like it; sometimes it's a real snoozer. I leave when I'm not having fun anymore. I go back when I feel like it. Simple.
Same with the Duck forum. Now that DJ fag dick is overrunning the place, I just drive by.
As a result I'm on the Husky and CFB and Yella forums moar. These days. For now.
That's the beauty of this place.
One thing I have no patience for is pussies who bitch to the mods. Those nutless twats should leave and never come back.

I'd say just based on my limited knowledge that at the least, the 16 needs to turn into a 7 or 8 to really get to the playoff contender/legititmate top 5 elite status. Maybe 10 but no lower. Oregon under Kelly was around 10-12 in that metric IIRC. I'm way too lazy to research it.
So can that be done with the recruiting church boy strategy? You almost need some assholes who steal cars or prima donnas
To address this, I bring forth Clemson under Dabo Sweeney as the example. They have often been cited as a good comparison to UW in regards to history, resources, etc.
Clemson Recruiting:
2009 Recruiting Class - 36th in Country - 6 Four Stars - 7 Three Stars - 89.91 Average Composite - 6 Blue Chip
2010 Recruiting Class - 27th in Country - 6 Four Stars - 15 Three Stars - 85.94 Average Composite - 6 Blue Chip
2011 Recruiting Class - 10th in Country - 3 Five Stars - 6 Four Stars - 20 Three Stars - 87.17 Average Composite - 9 Blue Chip
2012 Recruiting Class - 20th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 89.03 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2013 Recruiting Class - 15th in Country - 1 Five Star - 10 Four Stars - 11 Three Stars - 88.46 Average Composite - 11 Blue Chip
2014 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 88.69 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2015 Recruiting Class - 9th in Country - 3 Five Stars - 9 Four Stars - 12 Three Stars - 89.12 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2016 Recruiting Class - 11th in Country - 1 Five Star - 11 Four Stars - 8 Three Stars - 90.30 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2017 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 2 Five Stars - 8 Four Stars - 4 Three Stars - 92.10 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2018 Recruiting Class - 7th in Country - 5 Five Stars - 7 Four Stars - 5 Three Stars - 93.45 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2019 Recruiting Class - 5th in Country - 2 Five Stars - 11 Four Stars - 14 Three Stars - 90.40 Average Composite - 13 Blue Chip
As you can see Clemson toiled in the 15th or worse range for the first 6 years before they finally had their big break thru in 2015. During that time their average player was less than 89 on the composite rating. But they continued to stack double digit Blue Chip recruits each year which got them to above 50% Blue Chip Ratio. As soon as that class in year 7 popped, they made the Playoffs the following 4 years. Even then, only a couple of those classes were top 10 in the country. But the amount of Blue Chips and the quality of the average player (above 90 in the composite) has stayed consistent.
Add in Dabo's coaching and development, and you have a fucking juggernaut.
Washington Recruiting for Comparison:
2015 Recruiting Class - 26th in Country - 5 Four Stars - 18 Three Stars - 85.77 Average Composite - 5 Blue Chip
2016 Recruiting Class - 29th in Country - 7 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 87.42 Average Composite - 7 Blue Chip
2017 Recruiting Class - 22nd in Country - 9 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 88.45 Average Composite - 9 Blue Chip
2018 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 90.21 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2019 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 11 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 89.74 Average Composite - 11 Blue Chip
Likely an additional 2-3 Blue Chip will be added in this 2019 Class.
The first 5 years under Petersen has followed the same 5 year trend under Swinney in regards to talent acquisition. Yes, Petersen is leveling up the team in regards to pure talent.
The big difference is that after Dabo lost his NY6 Bowl in year 3, he started winning all his bowl games. He had the right staff, right philosophies, and right coaching to use that talent to win.
That's the major failing of Pete to this point.
Bump for Clemson winning the Championship.
Even the guys who think rankings are stupid, recruiting is for fags, or you just need to coach them up, even they could see the athletes on the field last night. A defense who was losing the time of possession battle by a gigantic margin for 3 quarters was rotating in players and staying fresh. True frosh QB and WR just dominating an amazing defense. The talent on display was beautiful.
Saw multiple posts about how Clemson has top 3 talent and UW isn't on that level. This is just another reminder:
- It took Dabo 8 classes before he broke the 90 average composite score - Only 4 of 11 classes have been in the top 10, and none have been higher than 5th - It took until the 4th year to hit double digit Blue Chippers
The key to Clemson's ascension has been the stacking of double digit blue chip recruits in the last 8 straight classes.
UW does not have the same level of talent as Clemson. But Pete has been building the foundation of depth of talent that is needed. The UW classes are following the same path that the Clemson classes took.
Pete now needs to start closing the elite level players to add to the talent depth, and needs to start winning his big bowl games and Power 5 OOC games.
Multiple radio shows or sports analyst I’ve listened to has said Clemson has landed consistent top 3 classes and have the same talent as Bama, which is why they whipped them so good and why no one else will be able to do the same.
As my previous posts have clearly demonstrated, this doesn't check out. They’ve only had 1 top 5 class and 4 top 10 classes in 11 years, with the average being the 15th best class. Since their breakthrough in 2015, their average class has been the 10th best class. Top 3 classes my ass.
So I decided to Check the 5 year team talent composite. Nothing is available prior to 2015, but that's the moment of their breakthrough so it will let us know the talent level needed to be one of the elite's when you have an elite coach:
Lost National Championship 2015: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 13th in Country - 4 Five Stars - 29 Four Stars - 27 Three Stars - 3 Two Stars (or less) - 88.57 Average Composite Score - 33 Blue Chip
Won National Championship 2016: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 9th in Country - 4 Five Stars - 35 Four Stars - 35 Three Stars - 5 Two Stars (or less) - 88.91 Average Composite Score - 39 Blue Chip
Lost in Semi Finals to Bama 2017: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 9th in Country - 6 Five Stars - 34 Four Stars - 31 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or less) - 89.21 Average Composite Score - 40 Blue Chip
Won National Championship 2018: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 6th in Country - 9 Five Star - 37 Four Stars - 24 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or Less) - 90.23 Average Composite Score - 46 Blue Chip
Over those 5 years Bama has had 63 Blue Chip players per year with 12 Five Stars per year and a 93 Average Composite Score per year.
You don't have to be Bama to win a title. You need to stack double digit blue chip classes to build depth to handle attrition, land 1-2 Elite players per year, and have Elite coaching.
UW is on this trajectory as I've stated many times. Now, stop with the coaching blunders and become the Elite coach that we? thought Petersen was, land some fucking Elite players and stop closing with a whimper.
For Comparison, UW's Talent Composite the last few years.
2015: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 29th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 15 Four Stars - 56 Three Stars - 10 Two Stars (or less) - 85.09 Average Composite Score - 15 Blue Chip
2016: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 24th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 21 Four Stars - 56 Three Stars - 8 Two Stars (or less) - 85.73 Average Composite Score - 21 Blue Chip
2017: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 24th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 23 Four Stars - 55 Three Stars - 7 Two Stars (or less) - 85.98 Average Composite Score - 23 Blue Chip
2018: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 20th in Country - 1 Five Star - 31 Four Stars - 47 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or Less) - 87.25 Average Composite Score - 31 Blue Chip
2019 - Projected 39 Blue Chip with a chance at 5 more.
Poont of emphasis, you need an elite QB and QB coaching to mimic the Clemson model. Neither of which Petermen has displayed at this poont. Skinny could be great and could be gone after one year. He could be mediocre and be here two. If Petermen needs a Huard to drop into his lap continuously then we have an issue. The QB room mismanagement really is starting to concern me beyond Browning sucks and could be an ongoing limiting issue instead of just a browning thing.

Sometimes I like it; sometimes it's a real snoozer. I leave when I'm not having fun anymore. I go back when I feel like it. Simple.
Same with the Duck forum. Now that DJ fag dick is overrunning the place, I just drive by.
As a result I'm on the Husky and CFB and Yella forums moar. These days. For now.
That's the beauty of this place.
One thing I have no patience for is pussies who bitch to the mods. Those nutless twats should leave and never come back.
Who u fucking kidding? You leave the Tug because you're a pussy with dipshitted political opinions who gets his smug ass kicked every time u post
All I know is @DoogCourics is doing the Lord's work around this shit hole and deserves a raise. Expect Lemon Party and 20 Sven bucks in your inbox tomorrow.
Strong agreement here. Doug Courics is our MVP right now. You can't find this kind of content on BD2W. You just can't.
To be fair, it might be there. But you won't actually find it on those boreds.
I'm a bit concerned Balkanization of the Half Brain movement. Should we really be splitting our forces like this? It seems like the #filth has gotten to be too much for some.
Meh, me not worried. There's some HCH crossover to BD2W but it looks to me to have much more dawgman crossover, plus a collection of Husky twitter. That is, people to have at most lurked here and would never be poasters. They're doing a different thing. For me, it's kinda boring and the forum platform itself sucks real bad. But it was fun seeing sonics shitting on Echlund the other day. Sorry, no link, I don't expect to ever find that poast again.
Anyhow, I'm glad that crowd has found a place. Dawgspeed to them.
Thanks for the reassurance. I must admit I've been concerned we'd lose a bit of our "serious" football analysis to the BD2W movement. I've lurked a bit there and it definitely has a far different flavor than HH. Hopefully, you're right and most of the market share they take is from DM.
It's funny watching the HCH flavor mixing with the more earnest audience they have.
Regarding market share, this isn't a zero sum game right now. The rising program has and will continue to bring in new fans and old ones off the sidelines. That's one thing that Chest got wrong on his way out.
And regarding your earlier concern on #filth, the great thing about the low moderation ethos we* have, the filth finds its own level over tim.

Poont of emphasis, you need an elite QB and QB coaching to mimic the Clemson model. Neither of which Petermen has displayed at this poont. Skinny could be great and could be gone after one year. He could be mediocre and be here two. If Petermen needs a Huard to drop into his lap continuously then we have an issue. The QB room mismanagement really is starting to concern me beyond Browning sucks and could be an ongoing limiting issue instead of just a browning thing.
The crazy thing is the QB mismanagement goes far beyond just Browning.
2012 - Cyler Miles 4 star (.9573 ) and Jeff Lindquist 4 star (.9104)
2013 - Troy Williams 4 star (.9541)
2014 (Petersen starts) - KJ Carta- Samuels 4 star (.9140)
2015 - Jake Browning 4 star (.9633)
2016 - Daniel Bridge Gadd (WTF?) 3 star (.8403)
2017 - Jake Haener (again WTF?) 3 star (.8599)
2018 - Yankoff 4 star (.9564) and Sirmon 4 star (.9559)
2019 - Dylan Morris 4 star (.9304)
Seriously WTF is wrong with whoever is managing the QB room? Not only has there been plenty of talent and bodies to work with but the recruiting of QBs has been all over the place, they cant hang on to guys without them leaving after red-shirting for one fucking year, and play on the field has been abysmal.
Miles - sucked and was kicked Lindquist - was convert to charity case Vanilla Hammer Williams - left for Utah Magna Carta - grad transfered to UCLA Colorado State DBG - Who? Haener - Quit a week before the season started Yankoff - Transfer to UCLA after red shirting his freshman year Sirmon - Tried to transfer after red shirting his freshman year
Now the QB room:
Eason RSJr who transferred from Georgia Sirmon RSFr who tried to leave this past off season Dylan Morris True Freshman midget
Seriously WTF was the plan here???
At this point it doesnt even matter if Eason sucks, some equipment manager might end up playing QB if an injury or two happens.

I'd say just based on my limited knowledge that at the least, the 16 needs to turn into a 7 or 8 to really get to the playoff contender/legititmate top 5 elite status. Maybe 10 but no lower. Oregon under Kelly was around 10-12 in that metric IIRC. I'm way too lazy to research it.
So can that be done with the recruiting church boy strategy? You almost need some assholes who steal cars or prima donnas
To address this, I bring forth Clemson under Dabo Sweeney as the example. They have often been cited as a good comparison to UW in regards to history, resources, etc.
Clemson Recruiting:
2009 Recruiting Class - 36th in Country - 6 Four Stars - 7 Three Stars - 89.91 Average Composite - 6 Blue Chip
2010 Recruiting Class - 27th in Country - 6 Four Stars - 15 Three Stars - 85.94 Average Composite - 6 Blue Chip
2011 Recruiting Class - 10th in Country - 3 Five Stars - 6 Four Stars - 20 Three Stars - 87.17 Average Composite - 9 Blue Chip
2012 Recruiting Class - 20th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 89.03 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2013 Recruiting Class - 15th in Country - 1 Five Star - 10 Four Stars - 11 Three Stars - 88.46 Average Composite - 11 Blue Chip
2014 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 88.69 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2015 Recruiting Class - 9th in Country - 3 Five Stars - 9 Four Stars - 12 Three Stars - 89.12 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2016 Recruiting Class - 11th in Country - 1 Five Star - 11 Four Stars - 8 Three Stars - 90.30 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2017 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 2 Five Stars - 8 Four Stars - 4 Three Stars - 92.10 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2018 Recruiting Class - 7th in Country - 5 Five Stars - 7 Four Stars - 5 Three Stars - 93.45 Average Composite - 12 Blue Chip
2019 Recruiting Class - 5th in Country - 2 Five Stars - 11 Four Stars - 14 Three Stars - 90.40 Average Composite - 13 Blue Chip
As you can see Clemson toiled in the 15th or worse range for the first 6 years before they finally had their big break thru in 2015. During that time their average player was less than 89 on the composite rating. But they continued to stack double digit Blue Chip recruits each year which got them to above 50% Blue Chip Ratio. As soon as that class in year 7 popped, they made the Playoffs the following 4 years. Even then, only a couple of those classes were top 10 in the country. But the amount of Blue Chips and the quality of the average player (above 90 in the composite) has stayed consistent.
Add in Dabo's coaching and development, and you have a fucking juggernaut.
Washington Recruiting for Comparison:
2015 Recruiting Class - 26th in Country - 5 Four Stars - 18 Three Stars - 85.77 Average Composite - 5 Blue Chip
2016 Recruiting Class - 29th in Country - 7 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 87.42 Average Composite - 7 Blue Chip
2017 Recruiting Class - 22nd in Country - 9 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 88.45 Average Composite - 9 Blue Chip
2018 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 10 Four Stars - 10 Three Stars - 90.21 Average Composite - 10 Blue Chip
2019 Recruiting Class - 16th in Country - 11 Four Stars - 9 Three Stars - 89.74 Average Composite - 11 Blue Chip
Likely an additional 2-3 Blue Chip will be added in this 2019 Class.
The first 5 years under Petersen has followed the same 5 year trend under Swinney in regards to talent acquisition. Yes, Petersen is leveling up the team in regards to pure talent.
The big difference is that after Dabo lost his NY6 Bowl in year 3, he started winning all his bowl games. He had the right staff, right philosophies, and right coaching to use that talent to win.
That's the major failing of Pete to this point.
Bump for Clemson winning the Championship.
Even the guys who think rankings are stupid, recruiting is for fags, or you just need to coach them up, even they could see the athletes on the field last night. A defense who was losing the time of possession battle by a gigantic margin for 3 quarters was rotating in players and staying fresh. True frosh QB and WR just dominating an amazing defense. The talent on display was beautiful.
Saw multiple posts about how Clemson has top 3 talent and UW isn't on that level. This is just another reminder:
- It took Dabo 8 classes before he broke the 90 average composite score - Only 4 of 11 classes have been in the top 10, and none have been higher than 5th - It took until the 4th year to hit double digit Blue Chippers
The key to Clemson's ascension has been the stacking of double digit blue chip recruits in the last 8 straight classes.
UW does not have the same level of talent as Clemson. But Pete has been building the foundation of depth of talent that is needed. The UW classes are following the same path that the Clemson classes took.
Pete now needs to start closing the elite level players to add to the talent depth, and needs to start winning his big bowl games and Power 5 OOC games.
Multiple radio shows or sports analyst I’ve listened to has said Clemson has landed consistent top 3 classes and have the same talent as Bama, which is why they whipped them so good and why no one else will be able to do the same.
As my previous posts have clearly demonstrated, this doesn't check out. They’ve only had 1 top 5 class and 4 top 10 classes in 11 years, with the average being the 15th best class. Since their breakthrough in 2015, their average class has been the 10th best class. Top 3 classes my ass.
So I decided to Check the 5 year team talent composite. Nothing is available prior to 2015, but that's the moment of their breakthrough so it will let us know the talent level needed to be one of the elite's when you have an elite coach:
Lost National Championship 2015: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 13th in Country - 4 Five Stars - 29 Four Stars - 27 Three Stars - 3 Two Stars (or less) - 88.57 Average Composite Score - 33 Blue Chip
Won National Championship 2016: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 9th in Country - 4 Five Stars - 35 Four Stars - 35 Three Stars - 5 Two Stars (or less) - 88.91 Average Composite Score - 39 Blue Chip
Lost in Semi Finals to Bama 2017: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 9th in Country - 6 Five Stars - 34 Four Stars - 31 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or less) - 89.21 Average Composite Score - 40 Blue Chip
Won National Championship 2018: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 6th in Country - 9 Five Star - 37 Four Stars - 24 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or Less) - 90.23 Average Composite Score - 46 Blue Chip
Over those 5 years Bama has had 63 Blue Chip players per year with 12 Five Stars per year and a 93 Average Composite Score per year.
You don't have to be Bama to win a title. You need to stack double digit blue chip classes to build depth to handle attrition, land 1-2 Elite players per year, and have Elite coaching.
UW is on this trajectory as I've stated many times. Now, stop with the coaching blunders and become the Elite coach that we? thought Petersen was, land some fucking Elite players and stop closing with a whimper.
For Comparison, UW's Talent Composite the last few years.
2015: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 29th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 15 Four Stars - 56 Three Stars - 10 Two Stars (or less) - 85.09 Average Composite Score - 15 Blue Chip
2016: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 24th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 21 Four Stars - 56 Three Stars - 8 Two Stars (or less) - 85.73 Average Composite Score - 21 Blue Chip
2017: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 24th in Country - 0 Five Stars - 23 Four Stars - 55 Three Stars - 7 Two Stars (or less) - 85.98 Average Composite Score - 23 Blue Chip
2018: 5 Year Team Talent Composite - 20th in Country - 1 Five Star - 31 Four Stars - 47 Three Stars - 6 Two Stars (or Less) - 87.25 Average Composite Score - 31 Blue Chip
2019 - Projected 39 Blue Chip with a chance at 5 more.

Not sure this is actually true. If there's one thing this state consistently produces it's highly rated QB's. Obviously a lot of them haven't panned out but it's not hard to fathom they'd have done better under Pete.
Obviously only a few of those guys are at ISHIT's savior level, but clearly Hobert and Tui had what it took and Brock and Eason probably would have under the right coaching, with IS and Locker having outside shots.
Point being, if there's one position we need frequent transcendent talent at, QB is the best one.
We should also be able to pull the occasional Moon/Brunell out of Cali and should be in position to compete for the next Mariota/Tua out of Hawaii.
ATBSJBSS, and also, I think we're going to be fine.

Not only has there been plenty of talent and bodies to work with but the recruiting of QBs has been all over the place, they cant hang on to guys without them leaving after red-shirting for one fucking year, and play on the field has been abysmal.
Miles - sucked and was kicked
Lindquist - was convert to charity case Vanilla Hammer
Williams - left for Utah
Magna Carta - grad transfered to
UCLAColorado StateDBG - Who?
Haener - Quit a week before the season started
Yankoff - Transfer to UCLA after red shirting his freshman year
Sirmon - Tried to transfer after red shirting his freshman year
Now the QB room:
Eason RSJr who transferred from Georgia
Sirmon RSFr who tried to leave this past off season
Dylan Morris True Freshman midget
Seriously WTF was the plan here???
At this point it doesnt even matter if Eason sucks, some equipment manager might end up playing QB if an injury or two happens.
In my lifetime:
84 - Chandler
86 - Conklin
89 - Hobert
91 - Damon
94 - Brock
97 - Tui
98 - Luke/Jared Jones
01 - Stanback
06 - Locker
09 - Heaps
13 - Browne
16 - Eason
18 - Sirmon
21 - Huard
