    While true that the OL pass pro left something to be desired Saturday, Jake also:

    A) Didn't throw the ball away
    B) Held onto the ball too long before deciding to run (or throw it away)
    C) Ran backwards and around and usually ate a sack like he loves to do
    D) Displayed piss poor leadership and body language (again) when he's supposed to be the leader of the team

    Browning has his shortcomings, but he is a known quantity to our team and everybody else. He's not a great QB but he's good enough to win with when put into the right position. I think the main issue lies at Smith's feet because he isn't creating game plans that play to both Jake's strengths and the strengths of the rest of our offense (IE Gaskin/WTE/BTE etc.)

    I think today it's pretty clear that if you are playing a qb without the threat of run you are putting yourself at a significant disadvantage. Look at who the top teams are starting at qb. Bryant. Hurts. Barrett. Fromm. Some of these guys suck balls passing but the extra threat of the qb running is lethal in cfb. When was the last time a traditional pocket passer carried a team to something significant. Darnold? Maybe altho he's a lot more mobile than brownshorts and even he sucks this year. And don't give me jacob Coker or some other shitty Bama qb who was carried to a title.
    There was so much running room that browning didn't take tonight. Pocket passers are not going away at the NFL level but at the college level they're just not as good.
    Also why im on team yankoff

    Bingo !! Unless we can go back in time the last 40 years and grab the 5 best Husky OL in their prime, having a qb who isn't mobile will not work in CFB today unless your Alabama. The Sirmon kid has a big arm and can throw it a mile, but pocket pro-style qb's are great for the NFL, not in college football.
