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.”

oh my god
-
I thought he quit because he sucked?
-
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.
-
What a fantastic article.

He quit because Jesus. Same reason that guy on reddit shot his dick off with a revolver. Jesus is always a good reason.CuntWaffle said:I thought he quit because he sucked?

That is exactly the quote that stuck with me. Just face it Hasselbeck hates everyone on HardCore Husky.dnc said:USCKG

Just look at what you've created, Derek.

i was done reading when he said he was a fan of chipotle queso

Used to drink til he blacked out. Cool

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.CuntWaffle said:I thought he quit because he sucked?
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 @Owen12Meek said:Used to drink til he blacked out. Cool

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.CuntWaffle said:I thought he quit because he sucked?

Not a dry eye...

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 himGladstone said:

#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 -
Listen, guys -- if we're going to start bashing drinking until you black out, I'm fucking out of here...

I was a student at UW at the time. I got escorted out of Gerberding trying to get Ty fired. As for Locker, a braindead 20 yr old doog kid wasn't the key to getting rid of Willingham. He wasn't going to usurp his own coach. Let's hold the adults (EmmertFS, TurnerFS etc) responsible here.RaceBannon said:

He let them use him. He is culpable.
Lockner is the greatest doog detector there is -

Every Lockner thread ends up here. Its the way it is
-
??
every locker thread ends up with you holding him responsible for ty?
i must have missed those in 12+ years of negadawging
dang
he was an awful and self-loathing PC hire, should have been fired after suddenly senior 2006, by any right after 2007, and left to doom the program to damnation in 2008. putting that on jake because he herr derrrp'd his support of his coach is pretty dumb. and bitchfork i am one of the bigger kid bashers here, so take a hike betty -
Whoosh

Eh, only for so long. There have been a lot of big arms in the NFL. As soon as they figure out you can't play, you're done. Jim Druckenmiller was big and could throw the ball through a wall. Once he started earning his 29.something passer rating, he was done.dnc said:

Jake left because he was a shitty player and because Benghazi ... or Jesus. -
Jesus dude. Give it up. He can still be your hero and suck.Gladstone said:
