    Someone else can confirm but I'd think you get alot less reps as a backup then you would as a hs starter. And if you think the college coaching early is the biggest deal then why aren't more 5* QBs doing this

    They are, but some kids love to be wined and dined by teams of adult men

    Hard pass. Fuck Folsom QBs. Been there, done that, got the Peach Bowel t shirt. ATBS, JBS

    unlike browning this kid has a howitizer.
    Too much war imagery. I’m shaking and about to vomit.
    Some of the suggested replacements don't even mean the same thing. Picking your battles does not exactly mean choose your opportunities, as the latter does not imply a struggle. And feeding two birds with one scone just doesn't make sense. One scone would feed way more than two birds and you would not throw a single scone at a bird to feed it. It is only intelligible if someone already knows what the phrase should be. I think Spangler was just off by a few decades.
    Jumping the gun is a fucking track and field term. It has nothing to do with violence.

    a year being Penix's shadow, a year being coached by Deboer and Grub, a year in our S&C program, a year running the scout team against our #1 defense. My only concern is will a 16 year old kid get homesick?

    The real question there is will his dads fly?

    The truth is he is needed for fucking depth this season.

    I'm still hopeful they'll grab an upper classman with some game reps for depth. I'm all for this kid getting signed and sealed early, but I don't like him as the 3rd string guy this season.

    Most transfer QBs want a path to play right away, so it might be a smaller poll for decent QBs who are willing to sit behind Penix for a year to only compete against Morris and Mack

    There are always some upperclassmen or even grad transfers available who aren't competing for the starting spot at their own school and want a change of scenery.

    By my count, the Huskies have 89 players on scholarship (not including Mack). I could be off by 1 or 2 but I'm not sure if a 4th QB on scholarship is something they can fit in for 2023. Plus if you are starting your 3rd string QB, whether it's a scholarshiped grad transfer or a walk-on, that probably doesn't bode well for the season.

    Meanwhile, Mack can play in 4 games and still preserve his redshirt so he could be an option.

    He's 16. They didn't bring him early for depth. This was their way of locking him in for the next two years minimum. He shouldn't even be at risk of seeing the field this season. That's the point, not that another third stringer is going to save the team.

    Has another vaunted QB Whisperer in DeBoer ever fucking recruited a QB good enough to start anywhere?

  • RaceBannon
    RaceBannon Member, Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 113,726 Founders Club

    Who cares?

    He got Penix here.

    Nick Sheridan recruited Penix to Tennessee. Then Penix followed Sheridan to Indiana when the staff at UT was fired. Then Penix came to UW when DeHoer hired Sheridan. DeBoer had the offense Penix loved but Nick Sheridan was his guy.

    And what difference does that make? Do Buckeye fans care that Day finally won a natty with a transfer QB? Will Bama fans care if Simpson wins one this year? Should LSU forfeit the Burrow natty? What if Texas wins with Manning - will it not count?

    The answer is no

    113-16.

    Ty recruited Locker though. That worked great

  • WoolleyDoog
    WoolleyDoog Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,050 Founders Club

    Come on, man. It's okay to think DeBoer did great things here and is a very good head coach but wonder why he hasn't seemed to be able to identify and sign great QBs (small sample size, but still). I wouldn't be surprised if he would have rather had Haener than Penix in 2022 but our academis bullshit finally worked in our favor for one.

    I also just feel like the QB guru shit is always questionable. I remember Tedford supposedly was at Cal but he inherited Boller and then only got Rodgers because he was on tape with a JC TE he was recruiting. Then you have Sark, who has never done much with a QB he has actually had to recruit and develop.

    Who

    Cares

    Nobody is winning with qbs they recruited these days

    Not saying it's not going to change Race but Ohio State last year was the only team other than 2019 LSU to ever win a national title with a transfer QB.

    RaceBannon Member, Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 113,726 Founders Club

    Chris Chandler isn't sitting behind Hugh Millen these days. Play me now or someone will pay me now

    If an old fuck like me gets that times have changed you should too

    In the mini NFL it's just win baby

    Lanning has always played transfers. Any duck fans here complaining?

  • BleachedAnusDawg

    No hyped QB's are waiting behind the upperclassmen for 3 years. I'm with Race on this one. Quite honestly, unless the 5-star freshman QB is the obvious starter from day 1, you're probably better off shopping in the portal every two years for the proven free agent commodity.

  • WoolleyDoog
    WoolleyDoog Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,050 Founders Club

    You're not even really debating what I'm talking about, but I bet fans and coaching staffs want the best QB they can get no matter how they get him, but ideally would want a guy they sign out of high school who can start 3-4 years.

    Also, I forgot they made Mack leave high school a year early to make up for not closing Kienholz who now appears to not be the guy at Ohio State. It's also questionable as hell if the best QB DeBoer could get for UW in 2024 unless everyone knew he was leaving was Wild Willy Rogers III who was barely even a mini camp NFL guy.

    Fisch is a great recruiter. Then we hear his assistants suck at recruiting

    No one will care that he recruited Demond if he goes 6-7 again

  • WoolleyDoog
    WoolleyDoog Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,050 Founders Club

    You've set up like 8 different sets of goalposts at the point, Race. Demond could never play another down at this point and will have produced more as a QB than any QB Deboer has recruited and signed probably for even at least a few more years.

  • RaceBannon
    RaceBannon Member, Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 113,726 Founders Club

    DeBoer quarterback went 25-3

    Who cares who recruited him

    I haven't moved

    Demond is winless so far

  • theknowledge
    theknowledge Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,626 Founders Club

    DeBoer was 10-6 with an NFL QB at Fresno.

    DeBoer was 9-4 with an NFL QB at Ala-fucking-bammer.

    2022 and 2023 UW was special any way you slice it and KDB was a big part of that. BUT if we’re going to cherry pick stats, DeBoer wasn’t elite as a D1 coach before or after UW and Micheal Penix. Small sample size, I know. I do think KDB will get Alabama good, not sure they’ll be good enough for him to keep his job but 10-2 with playoffs will probably be the norm there.

    College football is a feeder program for QBs to audition for big fish programs now (see: last 2 Wazzu QBs). Get used to seeing transfer QBs win natties.
