I think Jake was a great guy and a wonderful person. But this isn't the Great Guys Hall of Fame.

As I wrote about in Bow Down to Willingham, when 30+ UW players came to Jake and asked him to join them in going to Emmert to demand Willingham's firing, Jake said no.
Does all this say Husky Hall of Fame to you?
He sucked, but he was at the right position. I’ve always said it’s insane to pick a QB that had four games with under 100 yards passing his senior year.

No. Just a pretty good Husky with some kick ass highlight clips.
He was far from good in the Holiday bowl. The defense won that game, and the running game (Polk) moved the ball enough to kill time and keep them fresh.
My primary memory of the second upset of SC is of him trying to carry a USC db the last five yards into the end zone, but coughing it up through the end zone instead, resulting in a change of possession and touch back.
He was talented. But not good and horribly misused. No idea why he is in the hall of fame. The fanbase obsession with him was very odd too for someone that was not good.

You can hardly blame (or credit) a win loss record on a QB without discussing the supporting cast and coaches.
I'd love to see how Jake would have done under Petersen.
As to whether or not Jake went along with those other 30 players -- maybe he had reasons not related to the "white guilt" narrative that your book spends meaningful time pushing.
This doesn't mean I think he belongs in the hall of fame... but he was one of the rare bright points during the Ty and Sark eras.
Dennis Erickson said Locker was the single player he most feared playing against in the Pac.

Cue up the K Pop gif you use for me.
🎶🎶 Jake Locker three for under 100 yards in four games his senior year 🎶🎶🎶
There was a YouTube video circa 2009 of Locker playing beer pong at a UW frat party and some wasted bro comes up to Jake and goes, "Say , I eat Cougar pussy for breakfast"
Jake (laughing): No
Frat Dawg: just say it
Jake: no I can't say that
Frat Dawg(hammered slurring): I eat Cougar pussy for breakfast
Jake: can't, but I promise we'll beat the cougs
Probably my favorite video until it magically disappeared around draft time.

It's almost like you have no clue about what the qualifications are to being appointed to the HHOF. Maybe you should write a book about the vastness of your ignorance on the topic.
"Since its inception in 1979, the University of Washington Husky Hall of Fame has welcomed 203 members to its prestigious ranks.

Paul Homer showed outstanding skill as a fullback, carried good grades and was a great guy. Let's elect him into the Hall of Fame also. Ben Ossai was a good blocker, got good grades and was a great guy. Let's elect him into the Hall of Fame too. Etc...

He was clearly at the right position.
He doesn't belong in the UW HOF
The end.
But this is the right take.
Also, Isaiah Stanback has more super bowl rings.
