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

If Sankey played here in 2014..

What would UW's record be? 10-2? 11-1 perhaps?

In retrospect it was a HUGE loss. DW really came on the last 4 games but the hope was he could be that good by the middle of the season.

    Been a while, but seems that game needed QB play more.

    Sankey was a great player, and I still feel he was under valued. I think if he came back it is reasonable to say we go 10-3 at worst.

    It was the QB not the RB that we needed

    The thing often forgotten is that Price played well one time in three years against a good defense.

    I understand that. Sankey couldn't beat those teams by himself either. I don't think he makes a difference this year either. And that's not a knock on him.

    Maybe. Even if he didn't improve the offense at least he keeps Shaq on defense full-time. That alone may have made ASU a Win. And I doubt he would have shit the bed like Cooper vs Arizona.

    That said conventional wisdom on RBs these days seems to be leave ASAP. Guys that put an All-Conf years on film are probably gone to NFL ASAP. Sankey put down two years - guys in his position are going to leave 99 out of 100 times.

    He couldn't beat people by himself but he damn sure could have not fumbled the Arizona game away if nothing else. Sankeys absolutely a difference maker.

    I just think we can do this literally every year. What of Billy Joe never got suspended? What if Tui redshirted so we had him in 01? What if RN didn't get fired before 02? What if Lester Towns never played pickup basketball? What if Bobby Moore didn't hate Jim Owens? What if Corey Dillon went to two classes?

    Somebody will make this post next year about Shaq. LRR

    I'm just tired of talking about how great we could have been. Let's just fucking be great.

    We lost a 10-star recruit on the day Sankey decided to go pro

    Maybe Arizona...no RB was going to help against ASU with our offensive gameplan that day. And doubt would have helped Stanford game either.

    You serious pudbeater? Sanky wouldnt have helped Miles find an open receiver. If we simply had a capable qb, we'd have 2 losses (ucla and Oregon) and be in the fiesta bowl.

    Sankey would have got stuffed too as 8 guys on every team killed the TB, knowing Miles couldnt complete a forward or horizontal pass

    This team with Price at QB only loses one maybe two games.

    Price had games just as bad, if not worse than Miles almost every time he faced a decent defense. We still would have lost to Oregon and UCLA. I bet we would have blown another as well. The only thing Price would have done is beat ASU and help us blow out the shitty teams by more.

    My thought is Price with Peterman working with him would have changed things.
