    I like the Idea of Adams to UW because it relieves the pressure of needing Samuels or Browning to produce at Freshman or be damned with Cyler two more years. He could act like a buffer, get more exposure and bounce.

    But Road is probably right, the odds of him increasing his stock with better exposure are less likely than him hurting his stock with overall shit play from our O. He would need to make Spring ball.

    My sweatpants would get tighter if Adams came to UW, but it would be a dumb move on his part. No great WR's, a young OL, and a coaching staff that just had the worst offense in the PAC 12.

    Always have been. Doog hope is such a sweet jewel though. I like to hoard it like the Hebrews do with diamonds. Then I let just a little out to keep demand high.

    If I'm Adams, I'd only transfer if I'm guaranteed a starting position. He's only 6' 190 lbs and caught the Huskies at the right time as they were changing defenses and the secondary was a mess (not helped by Peters going psycho, getting a 15 yard penalty to keep a drive alive, and getting benched).

    He threw some impressive dimes in Husky Stadium but if Mariota got banged up in Oregon's offense at 6'4" 215 lbs, how will a guy do who is 4 inches shorter and 25 lbs lighter? He's more like Keith Price and KP was never able to make it through a full Pac-12 season without getting beaten up...much different than Eastern's schedule.

    But maybe he doesn't have to be guaranteed because what does it say about Oregon's QBs on the roster if one guy will be a RS-Soph (Lockie) and one will be a RS-Frosh (Morgan M.) if they are trying to bring in Adams from EWU? Maybe it's not only a matter of talent but depth too.

    And now the obligatory "either way it will be interesting".

    Vernon Adams is a baller. But I think it is too easy for people to say that he will be amazing like he was at EWU.

    If you watch his games he makes a ton of really bad plays that make you scratch your head. The system they run at EWU is not the same as UO, it is way more similar to WSU than UO. They throw the ball a ton and it is a great producer of QB numbers. Beau Baldwin is a fantastic coach in that regard.

    If you are going to run Adams, he is going to get hurt. He will cramp at some point and become a non-threat on the ground during games.

    If they have him sitting in the pocket and throwing dimes then he will be pretty successful. Oregon is loaded with talent, so as long as they rely on their ground game and short passing they should be fine. But I just think people need to pump the brakes a bit out there.
