Serious Q about VA and UO QB's
I know Oregon has a shit ton of talent on offense, but is Lockie good enough if they have to start him? Can Adams really come in late and expect to lead them to a championship?
From the sounds of Helfrich going full Willingham at media day saying stuff like, "We talk about the guys that are here", they can't be too happy about how this situation has played out with Adams. And it even sounds like they might have started to downplay Adams a bit now.
Thanks!

If Lockie or any other QB on their roster was good, they wouldn't bother with Vernon's bullshit.
Sophisticated analysis. -
Lockie is serviceable because he knows the system intimately and the players know and trust him. Unfortunately, the coachs have never played him in games with the starters nor have they unleashed him in his cleanup role. I think they screwed up. Adams passed his test(s) and has been working with the recvrs for a couple months. I have no idea which QB will be the primary or if one will play and then the other will play. We have Michigan State the second week.

IMO, Boobs is probably good enough to QB them to a victory over a VA-less EWU and Georgia State. The smart money is on a loss at East Lansing. Utah at least is at Autzen, but it will be tough. Then the schedule doesn't really heat up again until the middle to end of October. So the question becomes can VA get up to speed by then?

The Solid Verbal Podcast guy on SBN, said he's heard Lockie sucks (in so many words). He's also an Oregon alum, so he's probably dialed in.
Find it on the "podcast of champions" - fwiw they've had greats guests recently (Ted Miller, Thammel, Feldman, The SBN guy). -
This. They have time to get Adams acclimated before East Lansing. It sure helps having Royce Freeman and a bunch of good WR's too. All Lockie will have to do is hand the ball to Freeman/Tyner, throw a couple bubble screens, and hit play action passes with WR's running free.IPukeOregonGrellow said:IMO, Boobs is probably good enough to QB them to a victory over a VA-less EWU and Georgia State.

Getting a QB "acclimated" to beat MSU on the road likely takes more than 3 weeks.RoadDawg55 said:

I think I'll trust the coach who is 24-4 on this over a Hitler-mustached avatar.TierbsHsotBoobs said:If Lockie or any other QB on their roster was good, they wouldn't bother with Vernon's bullshit.

It's a tough game no matter what. Adams missing a week of practice isn't going to make a difference.BallSacked said:
