Some that even wrote for the Eugene Register Guard after they graduated.
Even they admit that the Anthony Brown quooking is way, way too much.
Just admit that Meat isn't adept at that position and got lucky with Herbs. Just admit it.
“ While Brown is by far the most experienced of the group, as a starter at Boston College and even as the backup at UO last season, Cristobal insists the competition is not definitively over yet.
“I think the worst thing you can do is make any player on the team too comfortable while at the same time you have to be real and Anthony has earned the reps that he has gotten,” he said. “We don’t sense at all any entitlement from him. Instead what you see is a guy that’s really taken ownership and has a lot of pride in what he does and a guy that you can coach hard and that responds to that. A guy that’s also grooming the younger guys, knowing that those younger guys are going to be thrust into situations where they compete with him for reps.”
“So far, what separates Brown behind his many years of playing experience are his pocket presence and decision-making, according to Cristobal.
“He’s a guy who’s played a lot of football,” offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead said. “He’s a guy who’s extremely intelligent and has a lot of ability as a thrower and as a runner. It’s not like this is a guy that we brought in and hadn’t played elsewhere; he had 50 touchdowns on his resume and a bunch of passing yards and a lot of wins, a lot of big wins at that. I’m very excited to work with Anthony in his last year of eligibility and I think he’s really seizing the opportunity and understands the urgency that’s required of this position.”
“ “(Brown) took that role head-on,” left tackle George Moore said. “With Tyler transferring he stepped right into that role and I feel like we didn’t skip a beat. That whole offense, we respect (Brown) enough knowing that he’s going to lead us in the right direction. With our offense, Moorhead coming up with all these crazy plays, I think it’s great. I think what coach Moorhead has going, he knows that he can trust that offensive line and those receivers and his QB and his running backs to where he can call anything and we’ll execute it as best as we can.”-James Crepea The Oregonian

Now I'll LIPO.
Herbert wasn’t luck.
Three-star QB in high school; didn’t do the camp circuit; didn’t graduate early; 3-sport athlete (football, basketball and baseball): academically elite. 6’5”, 235 lbs., out of high school.
Showed up in the summer ready to compete. When grad transfer Prokop (from Montana State) didn’t pan our; Herbert knew the playbook; jumped over more highly recruited QB’s; and was thrown to the wolves.
Herbert had three different head coaches and three different offensive coordinators at Oregon.
Kid had the “it” factor on the field. He would have been great in a pro style offense.
Marcus Arroyo sucked as an offensive coordinator.
