Good points regional manager.theknowledge said:I just listened. I think that QB regression at UW is linked to competition. Picket and Price both worked harder than ever in the off-season to win the job initially. After the job was theirs who pushed them? Paus? Montana? Great first years and then diminishing returns. Locker never had to earn the job. It was always his. He then never had to fight to keep it. Browning? Give me a break. Smith struck out on every prospect he went after during JBs four years. No one pushed Browning. Morris had to fight to win the job and then after he wins it Huard comes in the immediate spring after. That is motivation to work your ass off and improve. Just my two cents.

I listened.
There's this common halfbrain refrain that Chris Petersen likes undersized, unathletic quarterbacks because he was one. Or something like that. And there's no way Haener could have REALLY been competing with Eason, and the whole quarterback competition was just OKG bullshit. As pointed out, Haener's leading mighty Fresno State, Eason's about to be leading the Colts. Doesn't add up, right?
I think it's possible (I'm not in the guy's head, so who knows) that Petersen wasn't playing games at all. I think we? might be erroneously assuming that what makes a quarterback good in the NFL is also what makes a quarterback successful in Chris Petersen's offense. Petersen thought he could win a game from the sideline, outsmarting the opposite team. Putting a talented guy on the field and hoping for some magic wasn't exactly his thing. There's no point having a quarterback on the field who can knife a ball between two safeties 30 yards downfield to a well-covered receiver when attempting such a throw in practice and it going wrong once in five is going to have the coach yanking him off the field anyway.
It'll be interesting to see what Haener does against the Ducks. I didn't watch Eason face them, but I don't remember reading about him being a world-beater in that game. And I definitely don't remember him lighting the world on fire in any of his starts that I did watch. Meanwhile, Haener's putting up pretty crazy numbers against the weak sisters of the poor. To borrow from Teq, a world exists in which Chris Petersen legitimately thought Haener executed his offense better, and it's as simple as that. -
I don't think Petersen was playing mindgames or anything in that situation. I think he legit thought Haener may have been better and maybe in some way he was and to me part of that shows how flawed Petersen's offense was. It's also very possible Haener could have been better in 2019 but I'm also not betting on it.1to392831weretaken said:I listened.

I didn't like Eason in 2019. One of the most-disappointing Huskies I can ever remember given what I think he could have ben. I really wonder what he would have done had he come back in 2020 if there was a real season but we'll never know. I think Eason's game against Oregon in 2019 might have actually been his best as a Husky all things considered and that says a lot about how great I think he was as a Husky given how unremarkable he was in that game.

Here's my theory but it's not based on anything tangible. I think when Eason came in Petersen thought he was way too cocky, and forcing him into a competition was a way to try to bring about some humility. I also think Haener was good enough that Pete thought it could push Eason into getting better. I'm totally speculating.WoolleyDoog said:

Oregon was Easons best game for sure. He outplayed Herbert. If UW was playing Eddie O in that game they probably squeak out a win.WoolleyDoog said:

I wanted to highlight this point just to agree. There was a time when I thought Petersen's offense was brilliant. Multiple tight ends, lots of motions and shifts to give the quarterback a pre-snap read, etc. It's a great way to be efficient with less-than talent. Then, the whole conference seemed to figure it out, and Petersen never adapted to stay ahead. There's a point where you just get good enough to attract the kind of players that can just go out and win a game for you. I'm not sure Petersen could have ever lived in that world, and that's maybe part of what explains 2019. I think you're getting what I was saying, and that's that Haener may have been at least competitive in a Petersen (last generation college) offense, but maybe that's part of the problem with the Huskies' trajectory.WoolleyDoog said:

The others I give for free. -
Eason isn’t a great QB. He had to battle for the job because he wasn’t much better.
In the practice reports, Haener did throw a lot of picks, but there weren’t reports about Eason carving the defense up.
I think it really was a close call, but Eason was the bigger and better talent so they went with him.
