    Lol. To be fair the Oregon wr group is better than the UW group you are referencing, by a lot. But as we saw last year, the qb most assuredly does matter. Shough had guys running open by 10+ yards on almost every drop back. He either never saw them or missed them by 15 yards
    Shough played like he was on meth. Brown plays like he’s on Xanax.

    Brown makes the right decisions though. He has a weird fucking hitch in his throwing motion and he’s missed long on the 4 passes I’ve seen. He’s got good short and intermediate accuracy. I like his power run game. He needs to stop fumbling.

    If he can’t hit on vertical routes, we are going to have to win with defense at times. I am hoping it’s lack of timing but his mechanics make me think otherwise.

    Ashford throws the ball well and is a twitchy athlete. I’d love for the proverbial light bulb to go on for him.

    Yeah, it’s not even close to that. Our veteran midgets are 200 pounds.

    I don’t think the WR group is one of the best in the country. However, it’s really good, deep and diverse. The unit could use a true burner and a dominant #1. Devon Williams could be the latter.

    I still think our receiving group is one of the best in the country. We don’t have a true burner but most are pretty fast. Franklin’s 40 time translates to a 10.6-10.9. We will get some burners in the 2022 class.

    I never said that the QB didn’t matter at all. Great receivers make mediocre Quarterbacks look good.

    I would certainly at least agree with you Laws that our receiving corps is very good, deep and diverse. We won’t have to wait too long to see how it shakes out. 😁

    Maybe we can 3 peat as PAC 12 Football champs. 😁

    Why did I expect much from 7 new posts? I should’ve expected 5 to be DJ.

    Agree. I think the spring game showed the talent behind Brown is pretty damn good.

    Butters didn’t show great arm strength and Thompson is too much of a gun slinger. If it weren’t for walk-on safeties playing cb, they get picked off.

    Yesterday showed neither team has an above average qb.


    Agreed on butterfield. He looked like Shough out there with some of those pick 6 balls to the sideline. Don’t get why people are pumping him up.

    I’d go brown>>Thompson/ashford>>>butterfield at this point.

    Hard to gauge much from brown yesterday. Spring game format where qbs can’t run takes away his biggest weapon. If he starts I’d expect him to get 8-10 designed runs a game
    To be fair to Butterfield, it's not his fault that Jordan Kent is such a terrible announcer that he can't realize when a ball is spinning end-over-end to a receiver, it's less an arm strength thing and more likely the ball was batted at the line (by Navarette in this case).

    It really highlights what an abortion this Spring Scrimmage was.

    Maybe the Northern Division Champs can play a game away from home this year and actually show up when scheduled to play the Ducks . . .

    Our WR group was a squad of offseason warriors too. Until they weren't.

    There’s a lot of production coming back that isn’t for UW.

    WR, OL, DL, LB will all be very good to elite units

    CB, S, QB, TE could all be good units but mostly TBD

    The RB room is still pretty concerning, especially with the Sean Dollars and Tre Benson injuries. I had high hopes for Dollars this year and now it sounds like the earliest he makes it back is fall camp.

    That ain’t great.

    The Doogs need to worry about both the Beavers & the Ducks.

    Jimmy Lake is unproven. His coaching hires are head scratchers.

    Looks like another off-season championship for the Huskies according to the Husky Honks on this bored.
