Pessimistic About Next Year And the Future (Tequilla Long)

Totally agree.

The sooner the staff can figure out the QB position, the better. For the psyche too.

I'm not ready to steal a Cessna at Boeing Field and fly it into Rainier....at least not yet.

Agree with most of what you said.

Defense was great and even without Shaq. Both Hudsons (but esp Andrew) stepped up their game. It is a shame that the defense with 4 All Americans can't play on a team that will even contend for a title deep in the season. Its a fucking shame with the top line talent this team has had the past two years that it won't even touch 10 wins once.

All opinions and predictions aside, its a 5-3 team that will be favored in 3 more games plus 4 if you count a shitty bowl game. Win the games you should and beat UA or UCLA and its 9-4 going into a bowl. And by the way UCLA's OL is terrible and UCLA is worse than ASU & Stanford.

Next year will be a major rebuilding year but I don't think the defense will be bad. The secondary will be better for sure. Shaq & Timu are losses at LB but there are young highly recruited guys with one or two years of experience who can step in and improve as the season goes on. Maybe Bierria and Victor will emerge and Littleton has experience. The crop of young DL's (Qualls, Mathis, McGary, Vea, Dissly, Johnson, Gaines) is the best we've had in 25 years. I don't see why the defense can't progress the way ASU's has this season.

The big key will major improvement on offense. The OL will be worse but you get back Charles, Tufunga and Shelton…basically 3 starters. If you get a 6th year out of Tanigawa or Riva, thats a bonus. Brostek after a year of RS'ing could be a quality starter. Not a total dumpster fire.

There will be a lot of questions but there will be a chance for Petersen to show his player development. Look I'd like to go 10-4 so Pete gets free pub…most wins in 13 years, blah blah blah. But I doubt 10-4 is what bumps up our recruiting or excitement. Pete now has the next 1.5 seasons to prove he can develop players and position for a real run in year 3. And it needs to start ASAFP with the offense.

Please refrain from bringing perversion and the use of "I have beaten woman syndrome. " analogies that lessen the seriousness of domestic violence.

there is no need for " Yeah, if my aunt had a dick she would be my uncle" perversion especially if you want to bring it to the podcast. Otherwise you have good points, don't diminish them with the perversion that seems to be persistent in your analysis. I know you can make the points without it.

I would just like to say that I am opposed to Domestic Violence. You know, I'd just like to get it out there. I'm classy and inspirational like that.

I agree with most of your rational points, but not ready to light my emotional fires and follow you off the Aurora Bridge.

Re 2015 QBs: KJ was Pete's KG™ and all he'll know is Pete's system. I don't think that can be completely discounted.

Re DL: You don't just replace Shelton. However, the overall talent might be close to equal. The defense should be solid if not great.

Well, KJ was Pete's last minute second choice (Jalen Greene, USC faggot ship jumper was numero uno), and I am not expecting much from KJ. No matter, I agree that another year in "Pete's system" will likely be very beneficial for all of the QBs on the roster (as they are all young and inexperienced). More interested in Browning than Samuels, as it sounds like Samuels is a run first quarterback... And since this staff apparently doesn't know jack shit about how to utilize athletic quarterbacks (hi Coach Smith) properly even in a fucking windstorm, I am not optimistic about the quarterback position for the next couple of years. Who knows, maybe Miles or Williams (and fucktard Smith) will show us something. Fucking unlikely as that is. Expecting a true freshman to come in and take over is probably even more unlikely than that.

I can't see the defense being nearly as good. The secondary could be improved overall, but we're losing some fucking studs in our front seven.

Haven't looked at our schedule for next season, so don't know how easy our preseason is, but I don't think a losing season should be tolerated, expected, or hold as a realistic proclamation - rebuilding year or not.

The offense can only be better next year. Our offensive linemen currently can't get much worse (or can they?), so don't really give a flying fuck how many starts we are losing from the like of fat James can't-move my-feet-because-I'm-taking-a-shit Atoe.

Sadly, I can't say either way it will be interesting, because mediocrity seems like a certain forecast next year.

FUCK.
