Peterson's shrinking balls a growing concern?

I actually feel like the HH part of the fanbase has gotten into Jake's head at this point. He knows he's not going to the NFL, he know's he's got physical limitations, and he believes he can't win at the next level. The self-doubt has eliminated the only advantage that he did have as a qb, which was mental(film study and decision making). The lack of confidence is showing up against even shit opponents at this point and infesting the rest of the team. I actually would rather have the tone-deaf, self-aggrandizing, and egotistic Jake back over the self aware, sniveling, pouting, knows he's not good enough to get it done, limp dick, self hating Jake bc at least the former was willing to let it rip! and had some balls.
Cook it. Jake will be posting on HH this time next year about how Haener can't get it done and how we should have gone with Skinny or one of the redshirt freshmen.

He's totally internalized his critics, is now living up to the worst of it bc of that, and is causing the rest of the team to internalize that they can't win bc of Jake. The resentment and isolation are real enough we are all picking up on it even through the weight of Petermen's culture. No excuses, Jake is "good enough", even with his limitations, that with the talent around him and how good this defense should be that this team should curb stomp the rest of the Pac12. We need the defense to assume that leadership of "winners win" if they are going to get it done. We need some kind of offense that reduces Jake's roll, de-leverages his importance to the overall game plan, and allows him to at least build some confidence back in what he IS capable of doing which is game managing on the big stage and front running the little guys. Don't think Jake can get it done on a game winning drive in the 4th quarter? Cool, neither do I. Don't rely on him to do that then.
TLDR IDGAF about Jake as a scapegoat. Winners win. -
You're correct in the sense that he could go 10-2, 8-4, 9- 3 in perpetuity and Doogs would be totally content. That said, the massive leveling up in recruiting I think is all the proof we need that Pete is committed to winning titles here. All head coaches - even the greats - are stubborn fucks. Deeper rosters are the insurance policy against bad decisions.RaceBannon said: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 -
I’ve been thinking exactly this. He’s regressed mentally and that’s the most obvious explanation why.UW_Doog_Bot said:I actually feel like the HH part of the fanbase has gotten into Jake's head at this point.

2016 Browning isn’t walking through that door. -
He wouldn't have "fired" his long term buddies had he not been committed to winning at least in the long term. I think we've all seen enough evidence to know he's not capable of killing his only son to win in the short term though.YellowSnow said:

It always feel great to realize we're just like Cal again..

Sometimes in football it's better to be lucky than good. The glorious 2016 campaign was almost over before it started, but Jake got lucky and tore up the script in OT to beat Arizona. What if the ball bounces our way one more time against Auburn and we convert one of those red zone opportunities into 7 more pts? Would Jake somehow be a better QB because he got lucky and we won? Would the program somehow be a better place because we finally got the marque non-con win?

We have a chance at a truly special season. No. Yes.YellowSnow said:Sometimes in football it's better to be lucky than good.

Edited: I do actually think Jake might be a better QB with that win. It might have gotten that monkey of "not good enough to win it big" off of his back. Now it's ingrained. -
Yes, we did have a chance to do something truly speshial. It was a coin flip game that didn't work out. So be it.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Speaking of risk taking: scheduling games like this is the very definition of taking risks for the bigger reward. -
He didn't want the Oregon job because there would be expectations.RaceBannon said: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?
