Show to Abbot and Costello
You don't want to bring Denis Villeneuve into this, pod. -

By 'in play' he meant they would be 0-0 at the start of the year so anything is possible.proof said:Without reading let me take a shot:
KJ Costello was on campus today and met with new OC John Donovan. From there Coach Donovan laid out the plan for the new offense and showed KJ the weapons that would be at his disposal. The coaches let Costello know he was a priority and with him at the helm the Pac-12 title would be in play. It's safe to say the Huskies made quite the impression on Mr.Costello. -
I predicted Costello would be conference OPY prior to 2019. I publicly (here) poo-pooed the preseason love for Herbert/Oregon, predicted Stanford would outperform the low ranking the media was given them, predicted Washington would win the conference, and couldn't wait for Oregon fans to demand Cristobal's head on a plate.RoadDawg55 said:
Came off a little wrong. Some aren't as excited as I am about it. I'm excited because we need a QB badly and he is the best one available. I wasn't very optimistic about winning more than 8-9 games without him. I think we could be very good if he plays at the level he did in 2018. To beat a Bama or Clemson we need great QB play, but to win the Pac 12, we just need good and Costello is capable of that. I'm a lot more excited about Costello than I ever was about Eason.1to392831weretaken said:

I’m surprised we are probably going to get him. I thought he would end up at LSU, Alabama, Oregon, or Michigan. This would be huge and I’m excited about it.
Ended up being the most Pumpeiiish post I've ever made, as EVERY single one of those predictions blew up in my face. Well, not every, as Herbert still sucked.
Which is to say I'm a fan of Costello. I am FOR the staff bringing him in if they can. Where we differ is that I'm not so convinced he's a sure bet, and I'm not as sure that what's already on the roster is garbage. A lot of being successful in sports is being in the right place at the right time. There's a decent chance Costello/Stanford/2018 was the right place at the right time. There's at least a reasonable chance Morris/Sirmon/Washington/2019 was the wrong place at the wrong time. And Garbers is a complete unknown. Huntley was one of the worst QBs in the conference in 2018, then all of a sudden there's a different OC (out of Vanderbilt, no less) and we'd have all given our left and right nuts for him in 2019.
That's all I've been saying. The amount of certainty in these threads lately reminds me of my 2019 season prediction, and that didn't work out too well for me... I want Costello because he increases the odds of finding somebody good. I'm not willing to take it further than that. i'm open to one of the young guys surprising me, and I'm definitely open to Costello coming in and laying an egg (this team can only hurt me so many times...).
And bringing him in nearly costs you nothing. "Nearly" because there may be a political price to pay, as bringing in a mercenary always increases the risk of sowing discontent in the room and prompting one or two of your young guys to the portal. What I really don't want to end up with is a situation where we're starting the 2021 season with two freshmen quarterbacks and nothing else. I still think it's worth it to bring in Costello and let the chips fall. 2021 is next year's problem. -
Enough. Fuck.

Costello likely raises the floor of our qb play. If one of the younger guys beats him out then they are playing well. If not, then we still have at least a deep ball capable game manager.1to392831weretaken said:

I’ll wait to hear from the crooting experts about Costellos HS film to decide if I think he is good or not.

If the J in KJ stands for Jacob I’m good with it
Otherwise he can’t play here -
