    Nobody knew how bad Cyler was going to be. We simply couldn't move the sticks and the D gassed out.

    That is why I was struggling to make any prediction going into last season. We didn't know what we had at QB.
    We have seen so many times in college how a bad QB can be a disaster for a team that wouldn't be awful otherwise. Sark was a master at winning against these kind of teams by the way, better than us but where we were able to focus on their QB and let him hand us the game.
    Well last year we lost at the QB lottery.

    But in the same vein, I am not as pessimistic as the consensus seem to be for this year. We have seen what, 1 full game of Lindquist, Carter Samuel, and Browning combined, and we already know we are fucked? What if one of them is decent? That will make everybody else around him look better. He doesn't need to be Andrew Luck for that. Just decent. The likely scenario is he will get killed by his OL no matter what... but still.

    During PAC 12 play the defense wasn't bad. Other than Oregon and UCLA they played well. The Eastern game completely fucked the overall stats.

    And the ending to the Arizona game made us forget how well they did against an offense that pretty much lit up everyone else. So did Cal

    So it was a biased #97 ranking? Skewed? Abundance...?

    I want a ranking that accounts for Timu's 5 pick 6 drops on the year.

    Like previously mentioned, qb play sucked. We really didn't know how bad that pothead was. We're used to good to great QB play at Warshington. There was a time 15 or 20 years ago when 3-5 were in the fucking NFL at once.

    If you inserted an average Pac 12 qb with an okay arm, you win at least one more gayme and likely two or possibly three. 8 + 2: 10. 10-4 was what many said....

    I'm gonna need to see actual good to great QB play within the last 15 years in Montlake.
