  But not Hasselbeck. “Look,” he says. “Every coach I ever played for says these are the priorities: faith, family, football. But no one really lives that way. No one. Jake didn’t retire. He put family and faith first. This is the way I judge people now: If you don’t like Jake Locker, I don’t think I can like you.”

  Alright, that was a cool read. Good for Jake for not giving a shit what other people think and just living his simple-ass farm life.

  He quit because Jesus. Same reason that guy on reddit shot his dick off with a revolver. Jesus is always a good reason.

  That is exactly the quote that stuck with me. Just face it Hasselbeck hates everyone on HardCore Husky.
  
  Just look at what you've created, Derek.

  He could have made a lot more money had he kept playing. Somebody is always going to give the big kid with the big arm a chance.
  
  Football coaches are stupid.

  He and a bunch of other members of the team rented a house on Lake Washington. Their neighbor is a friend and he has some stories, mostly about late parties and copious amounts of beer cans washing up his boat launch. Friend says he isn't surprised they went @Owen12

  There is no way he would have quit if he was playing well for a winning team. He can say whatever he wants, but he got burnt out over being a disappointment for a shit team.

  He was the hottest QB free agent on the market. Tennessee was a shit show and locker was still in hiS prime
  
  His agent is right, he could have held a clipboard and still made 10 Mill with a chance to be a starter and make much much more.

  He already had plenty enough for Ferndale
  
  Don't hate the guy because I don't know hi but he didn't love football. He's like the 7 foot guy that has to play basketball whether he loves it or not.
  
  Jake is a superior athlete especially in a small town and at a shit program like UW was. But he never burned with desire to compete and win and he never loved the game
  
  Look, he made big bucks doing it as long as he could stand it and got out. I don't have a problem with that but wouldn't waste more than this post on it let alone a big story
  
  He could have got Ty fired and didn't

  You must not have been there. The number one reason to keep Ty was because Jake wanted to play for him
  
  #2 was the best recruiting class n history according to Mitzi and Emmert's two inches of thunder
  
  Neither dumb nor unfair
  
  Of course Lockner never had any leadership skills either so why would he give a shit playing for a tin horn dictator shitty coach. He got paid we got Owen12
