Browning will start because he'll be the best QB in practices on account of his knowledge of the playbook. That's how coaches pick starters. It's a shame his breakdowns under the lights don't count for more, but coaches kill themselves to spread blame around after losses, which is what Pete, Saban, or any other coach does, hiding and burying Browning's shortcomings and fuck-ups among everyone else's. Coaches don't focus on the incremental and obvious failings, because that's not positive thinking. Plus we've had Smiffy sucking off Jake, Pete and himself for 3 years, during two of which UW won 10 games. They'll say the QB competition is "open" but it won't be. Only if Browning gets hurt and Yankoff or Sirmon comes in and engineer two or three stellar drives will we see any change due to high pressure from the fanbase.
The situation is akin to a prize fighting where 99% of the time a challenger cannot win a fight on points, but most knock out the champion to win the belt.
I doubt they'll even say the competition is over.
"Jake is our starter" will be the statement. And as much as I hate it, Browning's probably the right choice. A true freshman is highly unlikely to be better than Browning in 2018.
I played against Chris Chandler. Don & Carol showed up at the game. Oh, the humiliation, although we won. Fucker was ready for the Pac10 as a HS Junior.
We can dream of better true frosh than Browning, can't we?

This. Which is why it's such a shame that Jake's such a huge fucking pussy.
Fuck the sandlot. Put that fucker on a desert island and let him man up to survive. If he dies, then take it as a sign that we would indeed be better off starting a true freshman. No call for genocide - just overwhelming odds against his survival.
Look I only said above that sandlot or pickup football would help the guy. I never said he could be CURED or made into a Tuiasosopo, only that it would help. Bench his ass for all I care. If he is playing, just another reason for me to drive to fucking ellensburg.
What the fuck is sandlot football? Playing patsy with a bunch of 40 year old fat fucks isn't going to do shit. Browning is shit and will continue to be shit because he has no talent.
Street football, also known as backyard football or sandlot football, is a simplified variant of American football primarily played informally by youth. It features far less equipment and fewer rules than its counterparts, but unlike the similar touch football, features full tackling.
Main game
An organized version has seven players to a side, such as in the American 7's Football league (A7FL); however, such organization is rare, players per side can range from as few as one ("one on one" football) playing both sides of the ball to dozens. Games are played on fields generally ranging from as short as 10 to as large as 50 yards, with the occasional game being played on a full-size regulation 100 yard field such as in the A7FL. Generally, the larger the field, the more players that can be incorporated into the game. The A7FL plays on a full-size regulation field in regards to length, however, the width of the field is shortened, from approximately 50 yards, to 40 yards in order to accommodate fewer players on the field.
Rules
Most forms of backyard or street football use ad hoc house rules that vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
The teams organize each other at the beginning of the game; if there are no pre-selected teams, team captains are usually appointed and take turns picking available players. In the event of an odd number of players, one player will usually serve as an "official quarterback" or "all-time QB," who plays on offense the whole game and cannot run the ball past the line of scrimmage, or, if more players are on their way, the team who is short handed will automatically draft the newcomer upon arrival. Teams can be identified solely by memory or by the shirts versus skins system; uniforms are rare, and even those that are used are generally low-cost pinnies.
The two teams organize on opposite sides of the field for the kickoff. Because of skill, field size and other issues, this is usually not a kickoff but rather a punt-off or a throw-off. Many versions skip this process and start the offense at a certain point, similar to a touchback in other national leagues.
As in regular American football, each team usually has four downs per series. In order to achieve a series of downs, backyard football requires the team with the ball to complete two passes or reach a certain point on the field. Few games include enough people, or the proper equipment, to run a chain crew to maintain the 10 yard familiar in most organized leagues. These structures encourages passing plays over running, as does the usual lack of offensive and defensive lines. The use of a center is optional, depending on the rules set forth, and other ways to start the play (e.g. the quarterback picking up the ball directly, or holding the ball out prior to starting play, then pulling it back to begin) are often used in lieu of a snap. Play continues until there is a turnover on downs (i.e. the offensive team fails to complete two passes in four downs), an interception occurs, or the team on offense scores a touchdown. Touchdowns are worth 6, 7, or 1 point(s) depending on the rules set out before the game.
Field goals and extra point kicks are nonexistent (streets and backyards have no goal posts), although punts can frequently happen, usually during "4th and 2 completions" situations where the offensive team cannot earn a first down. (In games played on regulation fields, these kicks can be attempted, but only in certain scoring systems.)
In the event a touchdown is scored, the team on offense will normally stay in the end zone in which they had just scored and the other team will go into the main field and field the subsequent kickoff. Thus, until an interception or turnover on downs, both teams defend and attempt to score on the same end zone.
Rules greatly vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, and are customarily set before each game. There can be a rush on the QB depending on the rules set out before the game. Usually if rushes are allowed, there are 2 rules that are commonly applied: call rush and blitz count. Call rush is the first rule of rushing the QB in street. This is where the defense calls "Blitz" in a loud voice before the offense hikes the ball, signifying that they will rush, but there is also a counter effect with this. The QB can get out of the pocket and run without having to pass or hand off the ball, also the quarterback can call "shotgun" before or after the other team says "blitz" causing the opposite to have to count to 5 or 10 depending on whether or not they called blitz 5 calling "shotgun" adds 5 seconds to the blitz count. The second, and more common, rush QB rule is Mississippi rush (a blitz count), so called because the blitzing player must insert the word "Mississippi" between numbers so as not to allow the player to count ridiculously fast and effectively give the quarterback no time to throw (A common alternate to "Mississippi" is "apple". The word "Banana" is typically used by NAFs. In Canada the word "steamboat" is generally used instead of Mississippi). Sometimes the two rules are combined, allowing one separate call of "Blitz!" per set of 4 downs. The other option to handle a rush is to use an offensive lineman or center to block any pass rush. A line is rare in street, and the act of a center snapping to a quarterback is completely optional and impossible in 2 on 2. When a center is used, the center is eligible as a receiver. Also the center sneak, wherein the center snaps the ball touching the QB hands but retaining possession and then running is completely legal and honorable in sandlot ball. Most teams that use a line opt for 3 down linemen(1 center and 2 guards). Some organizations that don't require the center to snap the ball to the quarterback only use 2 linemen. Popular plays include going long, the hook, the hook and go, and the down and out. A well practiced pump fake by the QB often accompanies the hook and go.
Conversions after a TD usually aren't applied and they can only be attempted from the 6 (or occasionally 7) point TD system, but if they are, there are several conversion systems, including "single point," "pass-run," yardage and "runback." The single-point is the simplest of the rules, in which any successful conversion is worth one point. Pass run is used in some midget leagues and awards 2 points for a pass and one point for a run. Usually all pass-run conversions are attempted from the 1- or 2-yard line. The second conversion system is the yardage system, similar to that used in the XFL playoffs, the Lingerie Football League, and the Stars Football League. The yardage system is formatted like this: 1-point conversions are attempted from the 1- or 5-yard line, and 2-point conversions are attempted from the 2- or 10-yard line. The runback is the most rare of the conversion rules, and is most often implemented in one-on-one games. In this version, the play does not end once the ball crosses the goal line; instead, the player with the ball must change direction and advance it all the way back to the other end zone for two points.
The game ends when a pre-determined number of touchdowns or points has been scored, or an arbitrary time is reached (for instance, dusk or the start of school).
Penalties are rare and are usually only enforced in the most egregious cases, such as serious injuries or blatant pass interference. Most games use the honor system in lieu of a referee and/or an officiating crew.

No one does that anymore. This isn't the 70s or 80s. Everyone is on their phone or playing video games.
The fact that there was never an instant where it made even the slightest sense for Browning to LEAVE! for the NFL tells you all you need to know about how fucked UW is in 2018.
Lockner was a fucking stud. Put him at QB last year and we beat USC.
Put him at QB this year and we beat Furd & ASU & Penn State.
I don't care that most of you believe he should have played safety at Oregon.
I love a QB that can run over the other team's linebacker.
Jake Locker would have never started at QB for Chris Petersen. He values accuracy over all else. Locker would have never seen the field other than Wild Swede/Hail Mary snaps.

ACL *snap*
TSI-FUCKING-O!
Pete, with Brownsocks sitting next to him:
“The Quarterback is really really good”
“McSorely is a heck of a player, he’s a great competitor and he just makes that whole thing go”
“When we got a little pressure on him, he stepped up or took off and ran, buying time, getting out of there”
Fuck the sandlot. Put that fucker on a desert island and let him man up to survive. If he dies, then take it as a sign that we would indeed be better off starting a true freshman. No call for genocide - just overwhelming odds against his survival.

The game ends when a pre-determined number of touchdowns or points has been scored, or an arbitrary time is reached (for instance, dusk or the start of school).
Penalties are rare and are usually only enforced in the most egregious cases, such as serious injuries or blatant pass interference. Most games use the honor system in lieu of a referee and/or an officiating crew.

While letting all of our starters punch Jake anywhere they want to.
Do this for 4 weeks prior to spring ball.
