    I liked Lindy a lot in HS. I can't figure out why he sucks so bad other than he just doesn't give two shits.

    He's pretty fast, he's built like a truck and he has a fucking cannon arm. Fucking Christ, there must just be a fucking empty bird's nest between his ears. Cerebral my ass.

    What part of he's a rich kid from Mercer Island don't you understand?
    I'm from Kent, so it's possible I over-corrected for my known bias against all Richie Rich white kids from MI or B-view.

    Just no fucking desire at all. F.

    I'm not letting you on the Lindy Bandwagon.

    I thought Lindy played a reasonable first half against Hawaii ... he was downright terrible during the second half but did make a couple plays on the last drive to solidify the victory.

    I'm not against the idea that he could be serviceable ... I doubt that he's going to be running a massively complex offense to start the year but could see a scenario where you run a simple enough offense where he has a couple of reads and then either takes off or throws it away where he could be successful.

    The problem for me with Lindy is that I have no true disconfirmatory evidence for my early eval, so I will always overrate him. Because unless he plays a whole season I won't update my belief about him.

    What is your Bayesian prior on Lindquist?

    To answer the original question, I wasn't there but I heard lindy had a 90 yard to pass that inflated his stats

    I've asked myself this same question about scores of players that have come thru UW in the last 15+ years.

    Does it all start @ the top with the UW Admin. (shit flows down hill, after all) ; is it coaching; recruiting philosophy; the program's culture; our PC, new age, dumbass, pussy fans; has the program lost its way?...

    Obvious answer is:

    So many wasted snaps on Miley. The single most damning thing about Lindy was the monsoon start by Troy Williams. Beyond that, he deserves the Boise game. He leads the team to win there, keep the shirt on Browning and LIPO.
