    Husky fans: "We only have two Elite-11 quarterbacks and one Elite-11 finalist in the quarterbacks room. Our QB situation is terrible."
    95% of college football fans: "Fuuuuuuuuuuck you."

    We may hate the guys because the two last year didn't beat out Haener or because neither did jack shit in a game, but the NFL guys who worked with them at these camps thought they were good enough to build an offense around, and there are three to choose from. If you can't make it work with at least one of them, it's time to look at the offense. In the meantime, Costello gives you a third Elite-11 QB on the roster, so would seem to up these odds even more. That's a good thing, but I still think it's selling the other three a bit short to say with certainty that they're shit.

    A lot of "elite" players on an 8-5 team

    The whole trio keeps complaining that taking a grad transfer football player is "beneath Washington's academic reputation"

    Costello is pretty good, but he did just throw a shitload of jump balls. That was Stanford’s offense. Run for 3 yards on first and 2nd down and throw a 50-50 ball on third.
    That Costello threw the ball up for his big dawgs to snatch should be a point of praise, not criticism. Eklund can fuck his own fat, poor face. W/ respect.
    Yes and no. It’s fucking beautiful watching a QB just pick apart a defense with mostly his mind. Burrow comes to mind. Tua as well. He made some great throws, but a lot of it was just being so in sync with his offense, taking the easy ones, hitting the open man, buying time, etc. Throwing tons of jump balls isn’t a recipe for consistent success.

    Lmfao at all the doogs in here thinking Costello is better than Eason. Retards. At this point build for the future, our QBs are talented, and if our entire QB room sucks that’s because they either have bad coaches or our staff is bad at evaluating QB recruits. Costello couldn’t even win his job back on a garbage stanford team

    Yeah, Costello is on the same level as Tua and Burrow JFC

    I know Ive beat this game into the ground, but its the only one I saw him in person. When we lost to them @Stanford in 2017 he was not just throwing the ball up, he was threading needles and making Browning look like a high schooler. He then went on and lit up 2018 before injury. I want him yesterday.

    I saw the same thing

    Costello is actually a QB with big balls that won’t check down and crumble under pressure. At least I hope he is.

    Are we preferring big balls to big dicks now?

    I think a power bottom could get us back to the playoffs.

    It's so ridiculous. If KJ wasnt an option everyone would gargling about sirmon or Garbers but because there's an unkown out there he instantly becomes the savior? Bring him in if possible and if he wins it great but if Lake promises the starter spot and doesn't make it a competition then hes no better than Pete

    Where is this narrative coming from that Costello is being promised the job? And why the fuck would anyone gargle over Sirmon or Garbers?

    a lot of people in this thread about coming pretty close to this foul. I don't see a lot of posts claiming Costello is a savior or going too crazy about Sirmon/Morris/Garbers.

    It’s sad we have been so shitty at evaluating and developing the right QB’s. We will be 8-4 without Costello. With Costello, I’ll lean towards 10-2. I don’t see is having an actually good offense no matter what, but we need some competence there.

    I am hopeful that Jimmy will run the ball more and try and be more aggressive up front than Pete was. That’s not really the trend in CFB, but that seems like the best route for our personnel.

    Morris was catching Sirmon. Costello is the perfect stop gap before Huard comes to town.

    I dont remember kj being very mobile. I know it's not the offense they run but ideally I want someone who can scramble effectively. It's so unnecessary to have a QB who can't both throw and run these days.

    That would be ideal but Sirmon and Morris aren’t gonna run either. Might as well get the best at what they can do, and that is Costello by a wide margin. I know we haven’t seen Sirmon or Morris but c’mon. If you can’t get it done vs Woodinville, you aren’t getting it done in the PAC 12.

    Oklahoma sends a transfer QB to the award ceremony every year. What’s the problem with that?

    Is Lincoln Reilly walking in the door some time soon?
    So only he can do it?

    This is the UW mentality

    Also known as a loser mentality

    Who the fuck cares how? Just win.

    We dont need transfers. We dont need JC players. We don't need anything to remain relentlessly mediocre

    Fuck that

    Jimmy better be sleeping in the office now figuring every fucking angle

    This isnt intramurals brother. This is D1 football
    I don’t know anything about intramural sports at UW, Race. I’ve been in the IMA like twice.

    I don’t understand the disagreement. I said earlier in the thread that I just want to win now baby and if Costello can help us do that then so be it.

    I’m just not expecting him to win the Heisman- i.e., Lincoln Reilly magic.

    It used to be said in these parts only losers worship the QB position.
    It’s not about worship. It’s about improvement at the most important position. Mediocre can get us a shorty Rose Bowl. I have serious doubts Sirmon and/or Morris teaming up with Donovan. With Costello, the potential of a Rose Bowl returns.

    This team is pretty set to beat Michigan week one at every position save for the most important one. We just need slightly above average QB play. Costello at a minimum is a sure thing for that.

    Getting him would be huge. Make no mistake. All of this tldr pontificating is stupid.

    I want Costello because I think Sirmon sucks. Nobody is fighting to win for that dork. Sure he’s got the measurable, but he’s a mental weakling playing the most mentally intense position in all of sports. I hope he portals.
