Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Perfect Time to go to Sam

(prefaced- obviously not happening, but still)

Look at the next four games:

-@Arizona
-@Stanford
-Oregon
-ASU

You could ease Sam into the starting role against one of the worst FBS teams in recent memory. Then you can see what he has against our remaining three decent-good opponents.

If, by some miracle, he goes 4-0 or even 3-1 and UW has a chance at making the championship game- then you burn the redshirt and keep playing him.

If, as is likely, he goes 1-3 or 2-2 then you hang up his cleats due to some kind of minor injury and let DMo play out the string of this meaningless season.

    He will start two games before the Apple cup.

    Yeah, I assume so but that is clearly an inferior strategy as that would mean his first start is likely against ASU (and their conference leading 3.2 sacks per game.)

    It would also mean that we miss any upside potential if he is actually better than Morris because he won't get a chance until the season is already over.

    The season was over in week 1.

    Sam only has 3 games to play without burning his redshirt … not 4 … he got a quarter of play against Arkansas St

    Yeah, but still…

    This redshirt talk is stupid. Sam is not going to be here as a 5th year senior. He'll either be in the NFL or at Fresno State

    I agree but I thought his camp wanted him to redshirt. Just the assumption I was working off of.

    Turns out he played a quarter in our riveting win over Arkansas State so my plan sucks anyway.

    I think its more that his camp wanted him to sit and learn behind a leader. They never expected this shit

    I’m not even super high on Sam, but it’s time. The team needs a spark and it seems crazy not to give another QB a chance. Morris isn’t getting it done and has gotten plenty of chances.

    Why aren't you high on Sam? Young, immobile? Morris looks like he's on crack out there.

    It’s well documented Damon wanted him to redshirt. If he’s good he likely is gone after his junior year obviously.

    Or he could be good but not a huge nfl prospect. I have no idea what his arm strength is like as his highlights are usually touch throws and that appears to be his strength.

    Or he could suck. It will be riveting.

    He had D-1 WR’s and he played in the air raid. He throws a nice ball. I’m just not sure how he will handle it live and he’s not going to be much of a runner. Most young QB’s that do well can run. On top of that, he didn’t beat out Morris who isn’t good.

    Morris is bad. I want Sam to start this week. I just am more LIPO than really excited about him. I like him. I don’t love him.

    Morris is amazing in practice.

    That’s one of your worst takes … and that’s saying something

    Sam missed effectively his Sr year of HS … so that’s a sign for redshirting

    That said it’s obvious going to practices that Sam throws a ball that Dylan couldn’t dream of playing

    The fact that so many here sucked off Morris is absurd. If he had Cyler’s stats UW is probably +3 wins.

    Huard is the #3 guy on the depth chart.

    Why would he start over the #2 guy if the #1 guy is benched?

    It's nearly 7 weeks into the season (6 games plus a bye week) so if Morris struggles again with bad reads and under thrown ballz, then we just may see Huard. Yeah it's on the road but Arizona sucks big time.

    Of course I'm speculating and have no insider knowledge on this one but QBs are a lot more advanced nowadays vs. 10-20 years ago and especially someone like Sam who has a father who played in the NFL for 12 seasons.

    OTOH, Jimmy Fake may still be delusional in thinking he can coach the team to a 6-6 record and a Eat Shit & Die Bowl so he show his stubbornness in sticking with Morris.

    Just another reason to tune in on Friday night!

    It was over before that. Doogs just hadn't realized it yet.

    Imagine believing the only QB who has played this year behind the starter is third in the depth.

    Sam is listed as 3rd because they plan to RS him. If Morris got hurt Sam would clearly be the guy.
    Imagine having the cerebral fortitude to remember that the #2 guy was listed as being injured when that happened.
