Who was the best Husky all time at every position?
Would any of them have been a backup on Oregons team this year?

to answer your question maybe a few, but next year's Oregon team NOBODY.
QB Penix
RB McElhenny - but for those younger than Race Gaskin
WR Rome - it might be a toss up with him and Reggie though. Rome seems like a lot better locker room guy though
TE Bruener - ASJ is the stat guy but he's not THAT GUY
OL Fautanu - I'm curious who the other options are other than Big Linc? I think Kreutz was a bad locker room guy
DE Reggie Rogers? Recently would have killed for Kikaha on the 2016-18 teams or the past two years
DT Emptmann
LB Hoffman?
CB McDuffie the best probably just tragically got wasted. Dana Hall otherwise?
S Lawyer or Budda
-
for CB did Murphy do more in a UW uniform than McDuffie? McDuffie definitely a better pro but Byron doesn’t suck.
For finding 22 starters Vita has to be on the field next to Empterrman
-
Murphy and McDuffie are good comparisons because Murphy didn't spend much time in a Husky uniform. Redshirted 2016 then was injured for most of 2017 and then had a stellar 2018 and was gone to the NFL after sophomore year. I think McDuffie is still a much better player.
I would say Vita works next to Emtman. I may have said Ron Holmes, but he was actually a DE (before my time). I am tempted to say Gaines because he was such a fucking rock for four full years.
-
Kaufman over Gaskin. Lincoln Kennedy at OL.
-
I’m hearing the 91 team wouldn’t have cracked the depth chart of any Oregon team the last two years
-
Hasn't Oregon out recruited UW for years by rankings? Seems like it
And yet
-
PGOS
-
Race Porter and it ain't close
-
PGOS x22. Good enough to start at everyone position on the field.
-
QB Penix - yeah. Or Moon. BJ deserves a mention because he didn't lose.
RB McElhenny - but for those younger than Race Gaskin - also worthy of mention, Kaufman and Dillon.
WR Rome - it might be a toss up with him and Reggie though. Rome seems like a lot better locker room guy though - I'd go Rome, Reggie and Mario Bailey - that's as short as I can make the list
TE Bruener - ASJ is the stat guy but he's not THAT GUY - and argument could be made for Aaron Pierce.
OL Fautanu - I'm curious who the other options are other than Big Linc? I think Kreutz was a bad locker room guy - toss in Benji Olson, Mike Zandofsky and Kevin Gogan for consideration
DE Reggie Rogers? Recently would have killed for Kikaha on the 2016-18 teams or the past two years - an argument could be made for Ron Homes as well.
DT Emptmann - easily. Larry Triplett deserves a mention at least.
LB Hoffman? Probably. Also Mark Stewart, Mason Foster and David Rill deserve a look.
CB McDuffie the best probably just tragically got wasted. Dana Hall otherwise? I vote Ray Horton.
S Lawyer or Budda - don't forget Al Worley
-
I like Lincoln as the best OL ever.
-
Kevin Gogan OL
Rick Redman ILB (before my time but an all-timer per my dad)
Ronnie Holmes DT
Tim Peoples S (maybe not the greatest locker room guy, I'm not sure. But I always loved him as a player).
-
Guys that you have to include…
LB ~ Kelly… no question, one of the best players ever
RB ~ Greg Lewis
DB ~ Tommie Smith
Center
Ron Holmes
Everyone on the team loved having Kreutz as the bad man on the field, Cunningham was gold
Jarzinka ~ the swiss army knife even kicked a field goal as I recall

I’d rather do an all-time all 22 than best at each position only in order to give more props to our greats. That does create issues around what is the formation, what is a position definition, etc, but more fun to try.
Offense:
1QB: Penix
1RB: McElhenny
2WR: Rome, Reggie
1TE: Bruener
FB/TB/H-back/TE2/WR3: no clue who to put here. I’ll go with Gaskin in a 2 back set and also motion him out to catch passes
2T: Kennedy, Mcgary
2G: Nick Harris and Chad Ward?
1C: Kruetz
Defense later, but picking a formation is worse there.
-
If I get time where I need to scratch my autistic itch in the coming days I might do like a whole all-time greatest roster or some shit.
-
Benji Olson at guard.
-
George Wilson
If no likeness in HS, get the fuck out of here
