    Darron Thomas declared for the draft because he was afraid of losing his job to Mariota.

    He did some things at Oregon that I think were legitimate factors in their success. The bit about squeezing every drop out of practice tim was very DJ-esque. His teams were noticeably in better condition than most of the other teams they faced. There were some other things.

    But I'm starting to think that maybe he was lucky and had a handful of underrated players who may have helped make him look more genius than he is. The one who jumps to mind is this guy:



    Then of course he gets Mariota for his last season who helps him to 12-1 and a BCS bowel win. He had Masoli for one season and then Thomas was his QB, and I've always felt that kid was a vastly underrated passer. But my recollection of him was that he was accurate and pretty sound in the clutch.

    There were some other Oregon players at other positions that were pretty good, but I'd expect UCLA has something in the talent pool to equal what Oregon had at most positions. The Bruins are seldom bereft of talented players.

    I seldom watch a game like UCLA/Cincy becaue I JDGAF, but I watched that one and UCLA appears to be shitty again.

    My other theory is that Chip had a lover in Eugene who was the reason he got up in the morning, and since leaving him behind he has lost his muse.



    Nice hindsight there. Where the fuck were you 18 months ago.


    Fucking Pup minion.

    Thomas was a piece of shit passer who completely limited the playbook because his accuracy made him such a tremendous liability.

    Not true.

    PS: Chip's playbook is limited by design.

    When talking about the past, hind sight is usually involved.

    I absolutely never jumped on the "Chip will destroy at uCLA" train. If anything I was skeptical.

    Fuck outta here with that.
