Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What would have Jake Locker been like under Petersen?

Better.

Babushka would be his position coach. So....., probably marginally better. This year will tell us if babushka is a decent position coach - if jake takes that next step in his development
-
a safety

Same mom, so...
also, same dad (1 of 2)
Maybe Peterman would have been smart enough to play him at safety. -
Jake would have been a great fullback or linebacker if he were tough. He wasn't tough though. My guess is he would have been a frustrating QB with tons of physical potential but no brains. Kinda like he was under Sark.

Not sure Peterman would have recruited him. Pete wants his QB's to be accurate and good decision makers, Locker's two biggest weaknesses. He doesn't seem enamored with size, arm strength or athleticism (Locker's three biggest strengths).
I'm sure Pete would have given him a token offer, but I don't think he would have gone hard after him. And had Locker still picked UW because he BLEEDS purple I don't think he would have lasted at QB more than a year or two.
But as always, the Locker would have made a great safety idea ignores the fact Locker couldn't stay healthy at QB. No chance he could have stayed healthy at safety. -
I disagree that he wasn't tough. He played through plenty of pain and injuries. He was just injury prone. That's different than being not tough, IMO.chuck said:Jake would have been a great fullback or linebacker if he were tough. He wasn't tough though.

Under Socha he might have been less injury prone. He was under Ivan and we all know how that story ends.dnc said:

Perhaps, but IIRC Jake wasn't tearing ligaments so much as breaking bones. Not sure there's anything a strength coach can do about that, perhaps there is.WeakarmCobra said:

I think Peterman would have either used him like Nebraska did Taylor Martinez - pure running qb - or switched him to the defensive secondary. Kid had great instincts carrying the ball.

The fact he was drafted and played in the NFL means he had some skill. So fuck all this defense shit! Under Pete he may have been a great college QB. I myself wondered what he would have done st Florida or OregonGrundleStiltzkin said:Better.

Hard to say Locker would have been taken higher in the NFL Draft ... but he certainly would have been better
If you put a better developed Locker with the kind of talent this year's team had you have a legit Nationsl Championship caliber team -
He could have been great with Chip.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

Are we still pretending Browning didn't have a massive break out season, ended the Oregon streak, ended the desert streak, had a 99 QBR in the biggest home game in 25 years, played injured and through intense pain the last 1/3 of the year, and broke or tied several Pac-12 records?RaceBannon said:
I can't tell if the Browning hate on here is serious or not. As a true junior this year I expect him to dominate.

I think he was tough until he broke his hand. Never got any kind of sense of toughness or grit from him after that. The "I don't see anything" moment kinda cemented my view of his toughness or lack thereof. That was a scared kid moment which is exactly what he played like by that stage of his career.dnc said:

I think he was too big to play safety and would have been an ilb on defense. Being prone to injury, and not real gritty at least in my assessment, would have kept him from being real good at it. -

Fuck we were right there! Because you were actually there this probably personalizes the anger, but I remember watching this drive thinking let's get the fuck out of this half and run the rock.RaceBannon said:Gladstone said:

Just like the 1-yard interception in the super bowl, I put this play more on the coaching than Browning. -

That was the play that rekindled my anger over Husky Football. It was the most stupid play from the call to the execution ever seen in a football gameDoogles said:

Agreed the play call was unnecessary, but Jake could have looked at Gaskin at got an easy first down, too.Doogles said:
