In order for UW to win a REAL bowl game/playoff UW has to have an athletic mobile QB. The game has moved on from statues and UW isn't likely to ever have the talent to cover for a statue's deficiencies in an actual big game.louism2wash said:
We can argue about this all we want but at the end of the day are either of them going to be QBs on teams that contend for titles? Probably not. The ceiling for Morris and Huard looks to be middle of the conference type QBs. Game managers, not difference makers. If either of those two is your starting QB you're probably going 7-6.WilburHooksHands said:
I have to disagree with this. Morris has had 2 seasons. Huard had one game, although it was fucking god awful, under maybe the worst offensive scheme and coaching the program has ever seen. LIPO in 2 years.RoadDawg55 said:

Um...wrong and fuck you Roadie. I don't care about his fucking ranking. I leave open the possibility that every player can still come around until they can't with no ranking bias at all. If you actually paid attention to my posts you'd know that.RoadDawg55 said:

I still will give him the benefit of the doubt because he really had not received anything in the form of decent coaching until this spring. He still sucks until he doesn't, but I'd like to see him after a year with Grubb, the murderer of families on vacation.RoadDawg55 said:Huard's a non factor and is was obvious. during his first start. The only QB that has ever played a game that bad since Fouch was maybe Lindquist. It was that bad.
It takes a lot before I'll completely dismiss a player. Huard hasn't had a lot of time to prove he's hopeless. Your assessment of his athletic ability and arm are both wrong and due to your own determination to be right. -
I've been championing Penix since last spring. That being said, we need to see him under pressure and leading UW to big wins, before we crown him as NFL-ready. Secondly, unless he has an incredible 2022 season, coming back for another year and proving durability could really help his draft status.

Colorado? Okay, last year but . . . . . . . . . New coaches.chuck said:
This is where I'm at as well. Morris is a known...very well known. We just got to see it two weeks ago.WilburHooksHands said:

When Penix gets hurt, either Huard has had a light bulb come on and UW might finish the season on a reasonable note, or Morris takes over and UW struggles to get bowl eligible. I don't think UW can beat anyone left on the schedule with Morris at QB. -

His injury history will prevent him from being picked really early next draft unless he leads UW to 11+ wins (he wont). Sign a 250K-500K NIL deal, take out some injury/draft insurance, comeback and maybe he can play himself into the real 1st or 2nd round money.
All of this depends on him actually being good, not just an ok QB that can beat up Portland and Kent.
UCLA fans have watched Dorian Thompson-Robinson look like a great future NFL athletic QB against pre season opponents every year for the past 8 years only to collapse and play like shit in the regular season. -
Don't give a rat's ass if he is NFL anything - I want him Heisman QB ready and lead UW to some meaningful wins. Screw his afterlifeDerekJohnson said:I've been championing Penix since last spring.

Edit: for now -
Figured he could have played a few years in the nfl. Off the field stuff was his problem. ASJ was no burner himself.RoadDawg55 said:
Great hands but he probably always ran about a 5.0 40. Not sure he was fast enough to be truly special.AtomicDawg said:
Ended as a 4*. He actually had legit talent. No drive or discipline though. He should have made millions.Houhusky said:
Wasn't Kavario Middleton one of the highest ranked recruits of all time to UW? He was a top50 national player.AtomicDawg said:
Reggie Williams and Shaq Thompson panned out.rodmansrage said:
feels like all the 5*s we? get dont turn out to be 5*s when they get on the field.dannarc said:
He basically said the focus is keeping Washington kids home and dominating California. He noted that the 5-star kids that USC wants will stay home. So what. How many five-star players does UW ever get from anywhere, let alone Southern California. Yet even still, there is so much talent there that UW should be able to stock its program with great players (a lot of them need a year or two in the program to develop -- that's going to be where DeBoner earns his keep).
He didn't really say anything that was surprising or worrisome, imho. It was basically a story about how he's gotten to where he is and why he's at Washington. The dude is confident. And the article noted the staff booted Glenn down to director of player development while making the Oregon guy (Henkle?) director of recruiting and a former Michigan guy as director of scouting. Bruce Harrell's daughter is director of on-campus recruiting.
So it sounds like the grown ups are in charge. (Except in the AD's chair, and until that changes, I'm not going to get my hopes up even though I'm doogin more than I have since Peterman first came on board.)
maybe its coaching, maybe rankings are shit, maybe abundance?
Huard probably won’t.
Smalls never should have been a 5*. That was obvious to everyone except the dawgman guys and tbsr’s that Jack off to rankings.
I can’t think of any others. Kasen williams and Buddha baker were fringe guys that ended up 4*. -

Both of those guys could run well enough for their size if they worked on it and stayed in shape...and out of trouble.AtomicDawg said:

Penix is NOT a NFL QB. Zero chance he gets drafted. He is a very good college QB which is fine because I care about how he plays for WASHINGTON…. Not the ducking Bears or Raiders.DerekJohnson said:I've been championing Penix since last spring.

If Jack Brownsox can stick in the league as a practice guy / borderline 3rd stringer, Penix can have his cup of coffee if he stays healthy. Penix has much better NFL measurables/skills.CuntWaffle said:
