Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Peterson's shrinking balls a growing concern?

In the back of our minds, we've all been waiting for UW to have that crowning moment where they hook n ladder and statue of liberty their way to a huge win over a powerhouse opponent. I dont necessarily mean trick plays, but via big balls and gravitas.

That moment has yet to come. Into year five there have been no epic victories over a premier opponent. For four years now, the Huskies have been led by a noodle-armed sniveling QB to whose star Chris Fetters has now hitched his wagon.

The limp-wristed offensive game plan through two weeks is eroding hope that our new OC will be better than the idiot we suffered through the previous four years. Which goes to show, its Petersons offense. Just like how when Willingham changed defensive coordinators it made zero difference. That was Willingham's defense.

So if indeed Peterson left his balls in Boise, the question is why? What happened? Perhaps in Boise he felt like the constant underdog who had to take chances. But at UW, the resources are better and the stakes and expectations are higher, so he plays not to lose.

He's shown that he's aware of an issue on offense that is beyond his means to fix--- he wouldn't have brought in Tedford otherwise.

But even if he recognizes that benching the crybaby and bringing in Haener gives UW a higher ceiling, he won't do it. Pete's either too stubborn or too near sighted.

Don James was criticized several times for sticking with his QBs too long. But I guarantee that he would have zero patience with Browning's boneheaded turnovers and sideline pouting.

This season has 8-4 written all over it. Commentators like Yogi Roth will fawn over Jake into mid December, citing his assault on the UW record books.

But as much as they want to talk about Browning's legacy, there really is none to any discerning fan who has been paying attention.

Fuck.

    if Petersen had any balls he would bench Browning and see how Haener does in a game. Let's be honest, Jake has looked like a steaming pile of shit for quite a few games now. I don't give a fuck about experience if you can't hit an open man and make brain dead decisions in games. A large portion of his passing yards came from his wideouts making great catches on shitty throws. He just isn't any good and he does not deserve to be the starter. 2016 is long gone.

    *Petersen's

    Leach would pull his Senior QB and put in a freshman. I'm hearing he's available.

    What if Petersen came to Washington specifically because he doesn't have balls and knew this was a D 1 payday where no one actually gives a shit about winning big?

    Chew on that

    For a more positive spin he cares more about "building for life" young men than winning football games. Which is fucking gay. But it explains why he picked UW and keeps playing unathletic white kids.
