    Our punter long snapper is more accurate beyond 15 yards.

    Disagree. First beaver TD of the year. Never forget.

    I'm betting Jimmy does another

    I appreciate him because he’s not Browning or Eason but he still hasn’t done shit.

    I won’t crown a HS QB but Huard throws a pretty ball. The touch is crazy. Whether it will be the same with college DL and exotic blitzes coming at him is the issue.

    Yeah, he won't be playing against the Kentwood or Tahoma defense anymore. All the things said about Huard were said about Eason. It's pretty clear Eason had all the talent he needed and then some but the college game was just too fast for him. He couldn't get in rhythm. The passing windows close much more quickly against 21 year old NFL prospects than they do against 17 year old semi-athletic white kids. This same narrative has followed a ton of 5* all-world talent high school QBs.

    One thing I think will help Huard a lot is that he is clearly very passionate and seems like a guy who will be all in for the team and improving himself. For Eason, UW was just a necessary 1 year stop on his way to the NFL.
    This is a terrible comp, they aren't remotely similar passers.
    The point was similar amounts of praise was heaped upon them, not that they have similar throwing mechanics.
    Amounts of praise sure. But you said people are saying the same things about him as Eason which just isn’t the case. The specifics of why they are hyped are significantly different.

    I guess I should have been more clear. I meant the fanfare, the program changer hype, etc. As I said, I do think Huard has a better head on his shoulders and will probably put more effort into improving himself but you never know how well these guys will transition to college ball.

    I am slowly watching the OSU game and Morris looked pretty cool in the pocket. First half Puki looked like crap - Turner looked worse*, Morris over threw a long ball. Good news is it is harder to intercept when overthrown


    *made a tackle as he got driven backwards 5-6 yards. I laffed

    Just rewatched highlights from OSU, Zona, and Utah. Morris is a baller and a winner, and that was as a freshman. I can see why two other 4* QBs transferred away between him and Huard.

    He’s fine. Ballers don’t put up 0 pts in the 1st half back to back weeks. Ballers can hit throws 15+ yards downfield.

    Winners don’t lose to Stanford and play like shit for an entire half.

    We’ve never had a true baller or winner at QB in my lifetime. This is a doogman-esque take.

    Your take on the Sitmon/Morris battle was so fucking awful it needs to be brought up before you start spouting off about this years qb battle.

    Ahh there it is. There’s 0 correlation between my Sirmon take and Morris being an average QB. Sirmon obviously sucks. But doogs will try to dunk on me, wanting the more physically talented guy to start. He didn’t have the other tools clearly.


    But to suck off a guy who couldn’t push the ball downfield is strange.

    It's OK to be pro-iSHIT and also admit that DyMo looked pretty lo damn good for a freshman (with JAG RBs + WRs with no hands save Bynum + without a spring ball + remote/questionable OC).

    QB confidence should be at its highest since Browning pre-shoulder injury in 2016.

    He was fine. I’m not going to suck a guy who can’t stretch the field off. He has limitations but it puts a cap on our offense as a whole. Like it did with Browning.

    I’m sorry that I want guys that are closer to the arm talent of a Justin Fields or a Trevor Lawrence than I do a Jake Browning. I’m truly sorry.

    The only reason I disagree with you is that you mischaracterize Morris. He isn't limited the way you say he is. He can make downfield throws. The stats say otherwise but we all have eyes. He has plenty of arm (bet you it's stronger than Huard's). The timing wasn't there AND a large number of catchable throws went, or would have gone, 25+ yards if receivers had made makeable plays.

    That was a fucked up season. We caught glimpses of strengths and weaknesses of new guys, but reaching definitive conclusions from four lifeless, intersquad scrimmages is sketchy.

    Again though...Huard throws more precise, catchable balls. The receivers have a hard time picking up the ball coming from Morris due to his odd arm angles and twitchy throwing motion. If Huard gets the offense, I'm betting on him beating Morris out.

    You are the king doog, and everyone else here sees it, yet you throw that word around more than the rest of the board combined.
