UW’s Chris Petersen says ‘people don’t appreciate’ Jake Browning’s toughness

One of the most frustrating things about Browning is the throws he simply doesn't even try. He won't pull the trigger on certain throws or windows.

This is one of the reasons he struggles so much with pressure. DC's know that there are certain parts of the field or certain looks he won't throw to. Its like they have extra DBs back there so they can bring pressure without any fear

Everyone appreciates his tuffness insofar as "appreciates" means "acknowledges that it's real." Everyone who doesn't hate Washington hates his tuffness because he won't LEAVE!

Honestly, I'm as big a critic of Brownsox as anyone, but watching his post-game interview revealed some subtle changes in his attitude and maturity. It may also have revealed that he's been seeing a counselor, or consulting with someone and he's dug into his psyche a bit to better understand why he's doing some of the boneheaded shit he does. While he's still too defensive and relies on some dumb points he thinks are clever, he's also analyzing where from inside of himself those bad decisions are originating. Not sure if everyone else caught it, but that deeper self-reflection, and some friendly advice from Gaskin about how and when to take a sack, means we could see a more conservative Jake that won't be taking as many chances trying to make miracle plays, which keep blowing up in his face. I don't want to see Brownsox fail, but I also don't want to see anymore of this Russell Wilson wannabe shit from him. If he plays within his capabilities he could play well enough to not hurt the team, and that may be all this year's squad needs to run the table.
