Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Which player most symbolizes the Sark era to you? Here's a few I can think of:
Most Sark players? 43 votes
Jake Locker - Overrated, not that bright, terribly inconsistent. Just a couple manboobs and trips to Joey's from being Sark.
Kasen Williams - Sizzle > Steak.
2 votes
Myles Jack - We didn't want local players anyway.
Josh Shirley - Looked amazing as a frosh. Not even sure he's still on the team by his junior year.
James Atoe - First round LT
Shane Brostek - Huge hype, forced to play too soon thanks to lack of emphasis on OL, moved out of position, never heard from again

Also Locker doesn't deserve to be on that list. Overrated though he is.
All sizzle, no steak. Both of them.

Not such a noob after all.
Lots of options.

Thank God Cozz hit the road and Strausser should make an immediate impact with those guys.
Sark comes in and decides he's going to make Jake a pocket passer to show the world what a great QB guru he is, taking away 90% of his greatest asset.
And here's the thing - Jake's greatest asset as a passer is the ability to throw on the move. I don't believe for a second he doesn't go as high or higher if Sark didn't let him do what he did best, ESPECIALLY since Sark never bothered to develop an OL that would allow him to throw well from the pocket. And UW wins at least 3 or 4 more games total with Jake being allowed to run his junior and senior years.
But Sark put a leash on him so people like you would believe that Sark turned him into a rich NFL player. Success!
Plus all those bubble screens really boost the completion %.
