Price was good. He was better than Browning. He wasn't ever the highsman hype bullshit that UW tried to market him as though.
Price got abused, broke two legs and two hips, and then caught the yips and was never really the same... but for a while he was a really good college QB.
Price against Baylor in the Alamo bowl carried the team and played like a winner.
It was a lot of fun having a non retarded QB that could do things like this:
potato quality... but it was 10 years ago...
Fuxking love that second clip. That was Price in a nutshell. The first one too I guess. He had very limited tools physically, but was clever with the ball in his hands and saw the field better than anyone we've had since Tui. He was pretty fucking brave and determined too as that clip shows. That was a tough TD.
His arm wasn't strong but it was adequate. His accuracy was good. He protected the ball. He was a good QB that got worse over time as the OL got worse and worse.
Roadie is a good guy with good judgement...normally. This is one topic where he's consistently dickish. Consistency is good and we all have our things that bring out our inner dick. I'm not bothered by the name calling and hostility over this odd topic.
When's the last time UW had a QB who got better over his career? Price and Browning both pretty much peaked in their Soph. years.
So did Cody Pickett. Lockner never peaked, maybe against USC, for one game.
Huskies haven't had a great QB in a long time.
UW kinda sucks sometimes. Why can't we? get a great QB?
All true. Not since Tui. But I'd take just about any startng QB at UW between 1990 and Pickett over the guys we've had since Price.
Everytim I saw him on the sideline he had his head held high, smiling, cheering, jumping around supporting his teams mates.
Good guy in my book, wish him luck at Fresno state.
I was thinking one of the Montanas but maybe Fresno will give him a shot.
My buddy's nephew played against him when he was at Bothell and said he had no idea why any P5 school would offer him a scholarship. (buddy's nephew is currently playing for one of the academies)
