    FTR we did "take care of business" against shit competition before.



    There's some legitimacy to say LIPO. Haener looked like he could air it out against ND and then we played Cal and well...

    Should be chinteresting.

    We struggles in the first half
    Meh, I'm dooging over having a QB that can target more than 1/3rd of the field in it's own right. I'm on that wagon.

    I'm just not dooging over how good this WARSHINGTON team is yet. We've already agreed that Cal is going to tell us a lot about that. I've reserved a seat on that wagon but have yet to board.
    Cal fucking sucks. The plunger is coming out on saturday night
    If Cal sucks that bad then we still won't get to see how this team looks against a good defense. IDGAF if we can beat shitty teams(though we've fucked that up before).

    I want to see this team have an offense that can put up points against a good and talented defense.

    This would be relevant if we were dooging over the win. We're not, we're dooging over Eason. And sure, Haener looked good last year against ND. But he didn't look like Eason did.

    I'm not sure I trust the running game or spine of the defense enough to start dooging over this team and predict a CFP appearance quite yet. But I do know that we have a special talent at QB, and I'm sure as fuck going to doog over that.

    Haener was lights out. I still think he sucks, but he was making good throws in that scrimmage.

    Sure, but he simply wasn't making the kind of throws Eason did.

    I'm not convinced on the running game. It's really a shame we couldn't have seen Gaskin and Eason paired for 1 season.

    Dick Newt looks legit imo
    Right now, if you had to choose one back for a drive to score I pick him over Ahmed. You really can't teach vision or feel. It's a have it or not thing.

    I like him a lot.

    Particularly excited about the Wild Dick package.

    Defer your dooging all you want. Eason showed rare arm talent. You can draw parallels to Jake, but he never showed an elite arm. Strong sure, but never elite, and his accuracy was always dogshit. Rare arm talent is just that, it's fucking rare. Sit back and appreciate it while you can.

    Hi. Linquist had an elite arm.

    Also:

    https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/backup-qb-jake-haener-flawless-in-his-debut-for-the-uw-huskies/
    Lindquist had an elite arm? That's honestly one of the stupidest takes I've seen here.

    And like I said, feel free to refrain from dooging. But nobody is dooging because Eason put up gaudy stats. Any limp dick can do that. We're dooging because he made throws that only few college quarterbacks are physically capable of making. LIPO obviously. But nobody who's watched more than a quarter's worth of football would think Haener and Eason displayed similar physical abilities in their respective debuts. Or so I would think, but then I just saw some fucking idiot say Lindquist had elite arm talent. The eye test might just not work for some people.
    Fucking exactly.

    This whole "we don't want a strong arm QB" shit is like saying you don't want your PW to go 170 and your 7 iron to go 215 or to drive 330. Sure, there's a chance you're a little more accurate at shorter distances. Maybe the floor is a little lower because you sacrifice a little accuracy, but your ceiling is unstoppable if you have that accuracy (see: Prime Tiger Woods, the GOAT).

    The difference is Eason does not sacrifice accuracy the way most in that comparison do, and Haener was probably a similar level of accuracy at best. Eason is able to throw the ball 80 yards AND make it accurate. The offense is used to having a QB who is less accurate at 35. Eason's arm adds a whole fucking new dimension to the offense.

    It's like when Bill Walsh had to scheme for Virgil Carter, came up with the West Coast offense, kicked ass with Jake Browning at QB, then ended up with Ken Anderson, and realized that a better QB completely transformed everything. The difference from Eason to Browning is HUGE. It transforms the entire team.
    170? FM. These days I'm just hoping it goes 125, 165 and 250.
