    Agree. Who in the PAC-10 would you take over him? Darnold probably. Maybe Rosen?
    Darnold and eventually maybe Herbert. Hell no on Rosen.
    Agree, and I think the maybe on Herbert will be a no brainer soon. That kid's going to be very good IMO.

    Browning is overrated. One need only look at Darnold to see Browning's deficiencies. 2 years and he's only made 1 long throw in perfect stride (td to Pettis vs ASU). He hit long balls last year, but Ross, Pettis had to slow and wait for ball every time. As a frosh, he flat overthrew guys, last year he underthrew. This year I have high hopes he can lead a receiver like a good qb does.

    Pup brought up fact Jake didnt hit 1 long throw in stride his entire freshman year on HH after the season( which of course fatters picked up on the next day in an article he wrote). Then just 1 in '16. (Pup watched every game in 60 both years, Feathers didnt bother, just poached Pup's content as gospel)

    Browning is slow to release ball. Against good defenses he's petrified to throw with command down the seam. He feels safe throwing to sidelines...thats where he completes longest throws, save for 'gimmie' quick-hitter slants over middle. He needs confidence to step up in pocket, vs a heated rush, and deliver quickly down the field. Having Hunter Bryant will give him that opportunity, like Perkins afforded him the year before.

    I think browning makes a massive jump forward this year in his developement. Puppy usually right about this shit

    While I agree his deep ball is shit, claiming he's only ever hit 1 in stride is completely false. I can think of at least 3 other throws:

    -D-Warsh vs. Utah St. 2015
    -Both Ross TDs vs Rutgers 2016

    Browning is a good QB and was a fucking true sophomore last year. You guys are faggots as usual and he will get better

    Maybe. Or maybe without John Ross terrifying defenses they'll load the box and sit on short throws, exposing Browning further.

    Very chinsightful...

    Not sure how you came up with that, but I fear it's true
