Reggie will always be a DAWG in my book. I have a number 1 jersey, and it's notmight be because ofSean Parker.Jaydon Mickens -

How did Jaque's kid not pick that ball off for 6.
I miss Bellotti.
I miss saying, Owen Biddle.
I miss Washington dammit. -
I didn't follow Reggie after he left the UW since I don't follow the NFL much... but did he ever learn how to perform against tall dominate corners? While he had a lot of yards at the UW, I'll never forget how Purdue shut him down after he popped off at the pre game presser for the 2002 Sun Bowel.
Though maybe that year's bowel performance can be attributed to the team not wanting to be in such a shit tier bowel after having a season which included four Pac 10 wins and the NW Championship trophy. /s -

Why does anyone here love Cody Pickett? He fucking stunk. Williams and Frederick did everything to make him look good. He piled up yards trailing by a touchdown or more, making up for the stupid sacks and interceptions he gave up in the first half, time and time again, forcing bad passes all game long. Every play-from-behind tosser gets big yards chasing a losing effort and the tough-cowboy shtick didn't obscure the bull-stomps he must've taken to the head growing up on his Idaho ranch.
I got into it with a fan in the horseshoe seats about Pickett at the Cal game. All these pinheads were jerking off over his stats, fed by local media. I said out loud that he was inaccurate as hell, they gave me the "are you kidding what do you know" bullshit, spewing meaningless loser stats. Pickett promptly threw an interception on the next play, throwing the ball about 5 yards inside his receiver on an out rout, and Cal proceeded to beat us at home for the first time in about 20 years. -
I thought Pickett was pretty good until his senior year. He never had a running game, the OL was soft, and the defense sucked. With the right guys around him, he would have been good.TurdBuffer said:Why does anyone here love Cody Pickett? He fucking stunk. Williams and Frederick did everything to make him look good.

Price was a bigger loser, stats only QB than Pickett imo. -
Pickett threw a lot, but a lot were not good throws. But, Reggie Williams could catch almost anything. Much like Pelluer's floaters to Skansi (who also could catch anything) - which led to Cowan taking the QB job from Pelluer. Shit throws get you benched. As for who had more garbage time completions and yards? I'd say Pickett, because he dug us holes and lost games we should've won, while Price kept us within a score or two of games we shouldn't have been that close in. Both Price and Pickett had obvious shoulder issues. Price's was really bad his Jr year, when he threw funny and shot-putted a lot of quick throws. Pickett's shoulder was sawdust and pulp by his senior year, yet the local press and Neuheisel were pumping the shit out of him while anyone paying attention could see that he was on a downward slide. Recall that Pickett was thought to be a Heisman candidate and very high draft choice by many sports writers, but wound up being Mr. NOGAF on draft day. 7th round, S.F., wound up 4th string, then traded a couple times, then cut. IMO, Price was a better QB and certainly a smarter QB overall than Pickett.
-
I think he was picked up in the later rounds, but my memory is he was projected in the top two rounds if he left school early. Just another case of a guy who stayed too long. I know he picked up a start with the niners, but never had a real shot in the league.
To say he wasn't good and some stats loser is going too far. He had talent. -
Fine. He once had talent. But he got hurt a lot and that shoulder was fucked up badly. Yet, solely because of yardage numbers, they projected him as a Heisman candidate. Seriously shit reporting back then, all the while we could see his accuracy had gone into the toilet and his decision-making had become erratic at best. Compare the #'s and Price was at 10 % points better on completion %, had more TD's (73 vs. 55) and fewer ints (30 vs. 43). Maybe the cowboy-tough-guy (i.e., invincible) stuff went to Pickett's head, and he read his own press clippings. Bottom line was that his performance on the field was defied most of what was written and obliviously parroted by fans at the time. As a realist, watching a QB and program sinking like the Titanic while the band played on? Fist-through-wall infuriating. I haven't forgotten, and we're still digging out from that period of delusion.
