Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Continuity is more important than talent

It's worth cutting corners for the sake of continuity. That always makes a program better. HC, OC, DC, it's the best policy. To consider anything different is hearsay. I wonder if this belief in continuity has been extended to our QB recruitment. Marcus Mariota. Lightning in a bottle just like Chip Kelly. Helfrich probably thought to himself when looking at 3 star Morgan Mahalak as Mariota's future replacement, "MM." First name starts with an M, last name starts with an M. I need look no further. He must be the guy.

    Slingblade is a very good QB coach and evaluator of the position, except for 2/3rds of the guys he's signed. Andrew Walters and Mariota were big time.

    Let us not forget the two backups that been reported as being so bad they can't even be trusted to run the offense in any capacity even in junk time. Other than that it's all good. 1 outta 3 wouldn't even be acceptable by Meatloaf's standards.

    I keep trying to look for signs that he's going to get us to the top or at least back to Chip level and I've literally never seen one thing with the program so far. I don't want to be negative, but there is no positive.

    Agree. He's also losing recruits that should have been ours. I wouldn't be surprised with a 4 loss season next year. But don't say that on educk. Everything is just excellent over there.

    And if you keep arguing with me then you're gone -- okay? Honestly -- you're so wrong on this and I am beginning to doubt that you care one iota about the Duck program.

    It's cute that your fandom is measured by how positive you can be instead of addressing the problems.

    Nega: "Our interior defense was very poor last year and we graduated a lot of guys, but we basically signed no one at either DT or MLB."

    Quook: "We signed three highly sought after running backs though you fagtastic piece of shit!!! Are you a Husky troll??"

    Nega: "We already had more young ball carriers then we needed last year to begin with."

    Quook: "I'll burn your house down with you inside of it!!!" "I'm going to start sending you very mean PMs, because I'm TUFF like that"

    I agree with all your points (the lack of DL/OL in this class is bullshit), but Mahalak is the truth. He will be the starter in 2015 and will be very, very good

    Mariota will probably hide some warts. I doubt you lose 4. You guys are certainly trending down though. Personally, I hope Helfrich wins 9 or 10 every year and is just good enough to stay because we saw what you can do with a great coach.

    Trade you straight up, Helf for Petersen. You can have Frost as a bonus.
