Reminder to the anti Price idiots

So what you are saying is that when the "facts" make you look like a fucking idiot (in this case, TequillaFS says that Emmert has nothing to do with the destruction of Husky Football) ... you change your fucking tune to a completely different discussion to fit your agenda?

I've never once said that Emmert doesn't have his share of blood on his hands for what happened to the UW program.

Now, if you want to change the discussion to "reading into the mind of Mark Emmert and his public comments," then let's change subjects. In your FS mind, anything that someone of Emmert's stature says you take at 100% face value even though his position includes a fair amount of politics behind it. My entire point in talking w/ Damone was simply that I didn't buy 100% of what came out of Emmert's mouth ... I take actions as being louder than words. We can debate 24/7 how much of the decision to hire Tyrone was Turner's vs. Emmert's. But the actions in December of 2007 clearly suggest that Emmert asked Turner to fire Tyrone and Turner refused.

Ummm...

You're wrong.

Arguing Emmert's role in hiring Ty? That's on you ... you brought that up by bringing Damone's discussion into the topic. The only reason any of that shit is relevant is because you keep bringing it up ...

Suggesting that I am an Emmert apologist is laughable ... it contradicts anything I say on the topic.

Completion % is a fucking worthless stat by itself that most stat geeks think somehow determines if you are worth a shit. Yes, Keith completes his passes at a high percentage. He's at about 64% for his career. For his career he averages somewhere in the neighborhood of 7.5 to 8 yards per attempt. That's not a horrible number.

Why do I say completion % is a fucking worthless stat? In his 3 full years as a starter against Oregon, Keith has managed to complete north of 60% in those games. In the 2011 and 2012 games he averaged under 5 yards per attempt and in this year's game he was just over 5 yards per attempt. But fuck it, he completed his passes.

What I care about in looking at a QB is can he win games, can he make the key throw when he needs it, and how does he respond when others would shit their pants. Completion % doesn't mean shit. QB rating is a nice metric but by itself it doesn't mean shit. Neither of those two stats makes a 3rd and 12 throw with 4 minutes left in a tie game.

If you want to cite the fact that we run the ball (which we do), it's also important to note that if you can run the ball successfully you should be able to be more efficient in the passing game than a team that can't run the ball.

Price is a decent QB. He's probably comparable to Cody Pickett in my mind. Both are good UW QBs. But they are far from our best. Just because they both have huge stats doesn't mean that they were necessarily great.

Pressing badly.
