    Paus had five completions in the Oregon game. He did a good job of running the offense that game, give him credit, and his passes were key too. If his whole career went something like this the final judgment on him would be different.

    I think one of those completions was a screen to Reggie for a long TD.

    yeah, they were big passes, I mean key. I remember fans calling out for him in the apple cup. that sidewinder throwing motion did him in though.

    This is false. I give you Casey Paus. Half of his passes didn't go past the fucking line of scrimmage! Why? because of his sideways throwing motion. It's a shame, because I kind of dug his style. The DL just stood there batting the fucking ball down!
    Wasn't paus the last qb to beat Oregon?

    Are we good, or do we need keep going?
    As I remember it he threw only a small number of passes. Mostly the game was won on the ground. That's my recollection, I was there in '03. The huskies wore purple. The ducks were all white.

    So you are saying we need a QB like Paus to beat Oregon?
    If I recollect he was throwing dimes that night.

    I guess we need to keep going
    I miss Mike Bellotti.
    Quooks will be saying that soon enough too. #helfrichiscoker #theregressionisreal

    Just finished the DJs book on Willingham. Makes me feel differently towards Paus. It's really not a good read if you're trying to keep your blood pressure at a healthy level.

    Sports psychology determines so much between success and failure. I feel for the young men that participated during that era. Didn't have a chance.

    For all his record setting yards, I don't ever recall Cody hitting a receiver in full stride, or hitting a receiver that was not open at the time Cody threw the ball.

    Cody went out, Paus came in, and HE HIT REGGIE IN STRIDE!!!11111eleven!!!!1

    5-8 with 2tds, 117 yds, no ints, passer rating of 268 was pretty good.

    If I recall that was the first ever night game after daylight saving time ended. It was dark and cold, and I had a full blown doogasm over that second half.

    The last pass he ever threw for UW was a fucking dime against a pretty good D.

    Just sayin'

    After Gil Dobie left the quarterback situation went to hell and in 1917 our beloved Sun Dodgers went 1-2-1 going scoreless in PCC play

    I don't know what our QB situation is like, honestly. I think Jonathan Smith Babushka is a fucking shit-ass OC who tried to run a million dollar offense with his ten dollar brain and Cyler's ten cent arm.

    I think he over fucking complicates everything and has no fucking idea how to get the offense in a rhythm.

    Look, Cyler was fucking terrible... but Babushka is a turd. Unless we massively simplify what we are trying to do on offense so that we avoid constant QB brain-lock and play to our players' strengths (HOLY FUCK!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!) we are fucked and it will have precious little to do with the QBs.

    We really aren't in that different a position at QB than we were in '93 or '04.

    Don't get me started about Stanback. Fuck.

    Why do you love Felix Sweetman?
    Why do you love Johnny DuRoucher?

    Everyone loves Felix Sweetman.

    Dude is a legend.

    To the original thread topic: What does jecornel have against Tom Flick?

    We went into last season with literally the worst qb situation since I have been watching UW football and knowing what was going on. What was the previous worst? Fortney/Huard? Redshirt frosh Locker?

    I also cannot remember going into a year with a worse rb situation. Toy/Weathersby/Fenney?

    So when you put those two things together the offense really, really sucks.

    When people use the 3 FIRST ROUNDERS!!! argument to show why (in their minds) Petersen sucks, I think the best analogy is the 1992 Seahawks. That team had a legitimate, bad ass defense. Really, really good. NFL Defensive POY. Dr Z named Tom Catlin his NFL Coach of the Year. But the offense was so, so, so bad. Historically bad. Half as many points as the 0-16 Detroit Lions bad. Because you had Stan freakin Gelbaugh at quarterback. That team, despite the awesome defense, was a legitimate 2-14.

    tl;dr--it is really difficult to win without a qb, and qb guru Sark left this program in a historically weak qb situation.

    On the other hand, Washington's defense got abused by the one good team they played last year.

    You can't run an offense based off smoking weed and beating the shit out of seahawk fans.

    Puppy said this after fall camp last year. The plagiarism continues. And no shitlips, our qb position was the worst LAST year. Now at least the Dub has a qb who can push the ball downfield

    See what I did there? I turned it into a fashion thread.
