I haven't gone through the 13 pages of chat on this topic so forgive me if this has already been talked about...
This shit with Haener is so similar to what happened with Camilo Eifler and BBK. In both situations you have a guy who is clearly quantitatively "better" than the other guy in terms on physical ability and, in both cases, the coaches stuck to their try-hard narrative and created a situation where talent didn't get valued as much as being a try-hard.
It's on the coaches for not putting our most talented players in positions to succeed. Fuck the try-hard shit. Eason has a higher ceiling than Haener and Eifler had a higher ceiling than BBK. If our most talented players are not reaching their potential than that's on the coaches. -
I think thats a big stretch. Obviously BBK had a pretty high ceiling considering he just got drafted in the 5th round. Also Eifler was always an unpolished prospect who had tools but would likely never put it together and become a football player.ToddTurnerLIVES said:I haven't gone through the 13 pages of chat on this topic so forgive me if this has already been talked about...

Then you have the positional difference. Only one QB can really play whereas we rotate a number of ILBs so BBK couldn't block Eifler but Haener completely blocked Sirmon and Yankoff. -
Ahem, BBK was an All-American. Lots of people can't seem to grasp that there's more to college football than physical talent (of which BBK had plenty, by the way, besides height). Yes, we all want otherworldly physical talent on the field, but if they ain't cuttin' the mustard, they ain't gonna play. We can all see when these guys run fast and make big hits, but it's much harder to see the intricacies of the game, on and off the field, where they're fucking up. We get to see 3 hours a week for a few months in Fall. That's it. Yes, Sirmon had arm talent and height. So fucking what? We don't see him practice (when we did, he was shit) and we don't see him in the locker room. He's clearly shit and by many accounts, a whiny bitch off the field who thinks he walks on water. This program is bigger than the individual. Get used to it. This is how it's always been with Pete and yet we just had 8 guys drafted anyway, many of whom were 3* "try-hards". Case closed.

It's fucking bullshit that just because you're a 3* (and to a greater extent, a white guy), you're automatically considered a "try-hard". 18 of the 32 first round picks this year were 3* guys or less. "Try hard" GMFG is about to start next to Aaron Donald on the Rams. Give me a fucking break. -

Agree with first section on BBK.
Disagree on Sirmon- he never got a real shot in this "competition."
Strongly disagree on your 3* "try-hard" conclusion. First off this board has liked plenty of 3* recruits its more about being a rare human and being highly coveted by UW staff (and other programs to a lesser extent.) The rating system is just an imperfect proxy.
But regardless, the reason why the majority of first round picks are 3* is because there are something like 10x+ 3* compared to 4/5*. Despite the imprecise nature of the rating system a randomly selected 3* player has a far worse chance of a panning out than a randomly selected 4* and our opinions should and do reflect that. -
Haener isn't it.CallMeBigErn said:
You don't know if Haener isn't it. I don't either. He may be shit, he may be decent, he may be good. Musta said it about a thousand times. The data set you're trying to base this opinion off is smaller than my IQ (really small). Fuckin' armchair coaches around here, man...Doogles said:
If you know a guy isn't it (Haener) then you need to go down the list. Sirmon might suck, probably does, but at least there is a chance he doesn't and rare tools to work with.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Sirmon barely threw at a 60% clip against fucking KingCo4A. And you're fucking surprised that he now sucks in college too?Doogles said:
When you see the guy six inches shorter than you skipping the ball off the turf and throwing pick after pick, but still he gets starter reps and is at worst the entrenched 2, it makes you wonder.GreenRiverGatorz said:
The only reason people are bemoaning losing Sirmon over Haener is because he's 6'5" and had more stars. Not one person has seen enough of Sirmon since he got here and given an actual reasoned take on why they think he's better than Haener. Because he's not.whlinder said:God Damn it. Expected to lose 1 of them this spring and was hoping it would be Haener, with Yankoff possibly switching positions. But if Yankoff wants to play QB I understand him transferring.
It is a MASSIVE failure of the staff to lose Sirmon instead of Haener. Incomprehensibly bad roster management.
And the "Petersen loves midgets" theory is fucking stupid too. He's the one who recruited Eason, Sirmon, and Yankoff in the first place. The real crisis here is that out of a huge and diverse QB room with tons of raw talent, we're still waiting for a guy to grab the reins and nobody has appeared to do so. If we can't find an above average starter out of everyone we had coming into this spring, then we're fucked. It either means consistent misses in talent evaluation, development, designing a digestible offense for a college player, or a combination of all three. But either way the end result is fucked.
I've seen Haener suck in live game action. He's had a terrible spring by all reports. How could you not feel slighted if you're Sirmon?
Christ, you dipshits want to make everything about Haener when the easy answer is right in front of you - Sirmon isn't that fucking good.

YBFEdirtysouwfdawg said:So lots of theories going around, some more asinine than others, so here’s mine.
Brownsocks still fucking us after his departure. While he was here he was the alpha in the qb room and would make snide comments about bush behind his back, real cute bonding type shit with serm and yankoff.
It was all fun and games until the noise became louder as the season progressed and Jake had to blame someone because he’s perfect. Never in public but the seeds previously planted in the young qb’s minds were being cultivated at this point.
Fast forward and Jake comes out... telling people about how he added velocity from working with an expert. In directly “saying fuck bush, fuck peterman, fuck udub, they can’t develop qb’s for shit.” Accurate?
Now the doubt is there and he messages his buddies saying “see, I wasn’t the problem.”
Compact that with the fact that Sirmon was behind midget and I think the narrative floats.
Fun either way making up a story and pretending I’m right. I can see how ballz gets off on this shit. -
Maybe there's a reason why Sirmon didn't get a shot. Maybe it's because he's a piece of shit on and off the field. Somewhere I saw he wasn't liked by his teammates. Pete has standards that the players have to uphold, whether you like it or not. That's how it is and that's how it always will be. Maybe it's just because he's a freaking redshirt freshman who has only been through two spring camps and one fall camp. He's been with the program for ONE YEAR. People generally have to work for their opportunities and not bail at the first block in the road. Good riddance. He's clearly a pussy (agree with StrongArm here) but I don't wish him failure (disagree with StrongArm on this one).FremontTroll said:CallMeBigErn said:

There's almost zero chance Eifler would have been better this year than BBK.ToddTurnerLIVES said:I haven't gone through the 13 pages of chat on this topic so forgive me if this has already been talked about...

The coaches got that one right.
Our defensive coaches know what the fuck they are doing. -
P12 DPOY National #1 tackling leader 5th round pick and people still hating on BBK i mean what the fuck else could he do to prove himself at this point

Put yourself in sirmons shoes. Nobody knows better than him how awful brownsocks was and he started every game for 4 fucking years. Then you see another try hard faggot getting first team reps and you watch him chuck ball's into the fucking turf or throw picks and you say huh....fuck this. Pete plays baby games and I'm sure JS eyes are just as good as yours and mine. How would you like to be a guy with sure fire NFL ability and know you are blocked by some fucking retarded fag who suffers from dwarfism and has a fucking noodle arm?
