Browning was better than Locker. And much tougher. -
Had to go to school during his era. He came back to play ball at our then loser school instead of being drafted after already coming to our then loser school in the first place. Was not surprised at all by his early retirement. Dude always did what he thought was right for him regardless of what anyone else said.
Objectively, I recognize he wasn't a great QB. My doog heart will always love the guy for picking UW as the home town team and then winning us a shitty Holiday Bowl after the dark dark years. -
I get that. What I don't get is why there isn't even a fraction of the same appreciation for Isiah Stanback, who was arguably the best pure athlete to play football at UW (or in the Pac 12).UW_Doog_Bot said:Had to go to school during his era.

I have a philosophy degree. I could go on for days but unless you are a priest or a Buddhist monk I lose most people around hour 3. Hour 5 the priest usually converts to agnosticism and wants to lick my luscious taint to change the subject. The monks last a while longer. But they all end up a’lickin’.CuntWaffle said:

Protestants generally drop in the first 10 minutes. No ecclesiastical underpinnings, just sweet baby Jesus in a manger. Kinda sad.

Fuck this debate again! Stanback didn't pop off in the Holiday Bowl, plus Jake was a much more exciting runner.creepycoug said:

Love 'em both! -
You're talking a guy who was a four year starter versus a guy who was a two year starter. A guy who had hype as the #1 pick in the draft but spurned that to come back for another year versus a guy who was a 4th round pick at a different position. A guy whose first game was the stuff doog dreams were made of versus a guy whose first game was a blowout home loss to Fresno State in which he completed 20% of his passes and threw a pick six AND had a fumble returned for a TD.creepycoug said:

You really surprised one of these guys has a much bigger fanbase than the other? Really?
Stanback was a talented kid who played under completely shittastic coaching staffs. But other than throwing an incredible Hail Mary to end the first half at Arizona did he have any real memorable moments? Did he ever make anyone believe he was taking UW anywhere?
Jake had Heisman hype and first round hype and every other kind of hype. Most of it was dumb, but it was hope at a time when UW fans were starved for it. IS never generated that kind of hype, or that kind of hope. -
Sorry. Live in the Midwest. Have a church here in Lake Saint Louis that used to be a mall. Seriously. And its not the biggest church in town.HillsboroDuck said:
