Sankey is 50-50 on his decision

Price was lights out good in 2011 and we keep forgetting that. He outplayed RGIII. But with the horrific OL in 2012 and his own nightmares, neither his body nor his mind ever fully recovered.
He still is a major record holder for us, so it is hard to argue he is not good.
Husky fans get into weird arguments about QBs sometimes. Our undies are all twisted about guys like Pickett, Locker and Price, all of whom were very good in their own times but did not win as much as they were expected. Winning makes a QB look a lot better. -
I don't deal in hypotheticals

I like to bash the shit out of a player as if I know what the fuck I'm talking about then talk shit as if I'm his staunchest ally, then hit him like a fucking punching bag again in the same thread. Almost as if I've achieved some unique moral high ground to do so.

So after what game next year will Road Dawg turn on Miles and praise the back up cause he lit up Georgia State?

Regarding the Oregon St game & Miles, I think puppysteel could have been the QB and we'd still have won big.

Agree. I think some Doogs are reading too much into that game.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Regarding the Oregon St game & Miles, I think puppysteel could have been the QB and we'd still have won big.
As for Price in 2012, it's tough when your OL, WR's and head coach suck.
It's not like he forgot how to play after 2011 then remembered again in 2013. -

Oregon State gave up. Chest is right that any QB would have beaten them. However, Miles has done nothing is his playing time to suggest he isn't good. He's flashed some potential against UCLA and Oregon State.He_Needs_More_Time said:So after what game next year will Road Dawg turn on Miles and praise the back up cause he lit up Georgia State?

It is naïve to think that just because Price started over Miles that he is so much better than him, and that there is no chance our next QB could be better than Price. I will also admit it is far from a guarantee, but in my opinion, the drop off will be non existent to minimal.
EJ Manuel was a first round pick and started over Jameis Winston, but Winston has certainly been a better QB for FSU so far. Ryan Tannehill and Johnny Manziel is another example. Cam Newton played behind Tebow despite being more talented. Look at Price. There was no chance he was starting over Locker despite being a more accurate passer and a better decision maker. With Manuel, Tannehill, and Locker, I am sure a lot of their fan bases (for sure with UW's) questioned how they could replace a first round starter. I think our back up QB's are more talented than Price and combined with a better coaching staff, it's not all that crazy to think that they could be as good or better than Price.

Price was 2nd in the conference in passer rating. In the next two spots below him were Hogan and Hundley, both within one point of Price. Mannion (another guy like Price who beat up on bad teams, had no running game, spotty OL) and Kelly (easily had a better year than Price) were fairly close behind as well.
In adjusted QBR which factors in running, opponent, getting pressured, accurate throws, down and distance, etc, Price ranked 40th in the country. There were 6 QB's from the Pac 12 ranked in front of him (Mariota, Hundley, Hogan, Kelly, Mannion, Denker). So for every stat you can throw explaining why Price was so great, the advanced metrics show he was pretty average.
