If a Jr/Sr Jake Locker was the QB of this team, we'd be 11-2 or 12-1 this year.

Last year yes! This year? Probably not....Pete would have him at LB by now with spot duty on special teams.Playing QB for Pete is haaaaaaard!

Keith would have them playing better
-
So Stanford, ASU, Zona, UCLA all wins with Locker?
At the start of the year, looking at the home schedule, returning players, experienced o-line, Miles with meaningful minutes last year, extra bowl practices, off season natty, and Pete's experience many saw 10 wins.
Locker cements it?

Without a 2000 yard back,no TE,mucked up WR corp and no Sark to chuck it too on 3rd and 3...KP wouldn't make it through the year with this group. Hell he didn't make it through with last years all stars

Think if you predicted Shelton, Shaq, Peters, playing at All AMerican level and Kikaha leading the nation in sacks what would you have predicted?

You win the Stanford game with just average QB play. Hard not to see Locker being able to make a play either with his arm/legs to be able to make a difference in that game.
We definitely beat Arizona with Locker as a couple of extra drives get finished off.
And given the way the ASU game went, you'd have to like the chances of Locker as a runner in that game combined with how Shaq was running. Not to mention that he'd have been a far better passing option than Williams was in that game.
UCLA? Who knows. Oregon? Probably not. But with the current offense, you're definitely looking at a situation that once a team gets 2 scores up on us that it's hard for the confidence of the team to be positive knowing that the offense is unlikely to come back. Even with both of those being losses, you're looking at 11-2 then. -
Miley fucking sucks

I do understand the thinking, but Locker sucked in 2010 with a better running game and better WR's. 4 games under 100 yards passing.

Since Peterman contributed a great deal in both the Stanford and Arizona losses, I think a serviceable QB would have led the teams to victory, but not much more. Second guessing is tough. Hell, I'm in doubt we win another game this season.
