Trying not to read too much into this, but this is the most telling quote Petersen's had regarding the QBs this Spring, specifically Browning:
"He's not a true freshman in my mind."
It's widely known UW has never started a true freshman @ QB for their season opener and has rarely ever played true FR QBs, let alone start them. Tui in '97 was the first, and only, to start a game as a true freshman (vs U0), to my knowledge.
From all accounts, it sounds like Browning is a football savant, so mentally he may be ready. But physically, it's pretty obvious from the eye-test that he's not physically matured. He needs to put on some pounds to make it thru a PAC-12 season. Putting him behind an inexperienced OLine, with not a lot (if any) of proven offensive skill players around him, could be asking for disaster.
It's pretty apparent that he's the future, but when to play him is the million dollar question.

Get him on the 5000 calorie a day, clen, and tren routine and he'll be fine in no time

Browning needs to be the guy. Simple fact.
It's a tough give and take though. We might suck even with Browning and he would likely be better off with a redshirt. -
Lindy is what he is ... I don't think he's leaving under any situation ...
I don't know what Magna Carta's situation is and whether if Browning passed him whether or not he'd decide to leave or not. My sense is that unless he's absolutely terrible, it could make sense to start him and then open it up again to a competition next year.
The only way that I'd play Browning this year is if he's head and shoulders above and beyond Lindy and Magna ... if that's the case there's no real decision to be made. -

Tough call for Peterson if Browning continues to improve through August. He doesn't seem that far away from the level where KJ and Lindy are playing in spring.
If Pete Carroll was the coach at UW, I think he'd go with Browning. He went with Barkley over Corp and Mitch Mustain, because he wasn't that much worse than those two and he had more potential. -
REDSHIRT.....bite the bullet pete

I never know of you're serious. You're saving him from possibly getting the shit kicked out of him behind a green OL. QB's are never the same when that happens.sarktastic said:

He isn't a pussy. I have no doubt he prays to God each night you ain't his daddy. The best player plays.
Stop trying to over think this, please.
