Who plays QB?

Post by Michael K. » Wed Nov 04, 2020 8:12 pm

I guess I will be the sole Husky poster! Loved this quote.
At 6-5 and 240 pounds with a right arm that might as well have been built in a football factory, Sirmon is the definition of a pro-style quarterback. He can stretch the field and maximize the explosiveness of wide receivers Puka Nacua, Terrell Bynum, Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and more. He can make every NFL throw. All he needs is confidence and reps, and you can help with the latter.

And as it pertains to program culture, can you really afford to continue starting transfer QBs? Sirmon grew up around this program. He loves this program. He has spent two seasons giving every little bit of himself to this program, with the understanding that he could eventually earn an opportunity.

It comes down to this: if you continue to court four-star quarterbacks, but none of them develops, isn’t that ultimately an institutional failure?

I agree. We can't continue to bring in transfers and handing over the keys. I am not sold on the kid from Sac State anyway. Jeez, this demand for a dual threat, why? The last time we had one was Locker, and the last time it worked was Tui. Seriously? If we play football and not fuck around, we probably beat everyone we lost to minus Utah last year. Possibly we still lose on the road at Col, in what was probably the least inspired game of football I have any time in my life, not just Husky game.

We act like the problems with the offense were because the QB was stationary? The problem was not getting into playmakers hands. We beat Oregon four times in a row if not for coaching decisions! With two QBs that are far from mobile!

I would like to see Sirmon get his shot. However, The coaches have never really seemed to like him in the past. Maybe the new coordinator will give him a fresh chance. I think its odd that they wouldn't just name a starter. The only thing I can think is they are trying to get a competitive advantage by not allowing Cal to prepare. However, Its not like there is any tape on these guys playing this offense for the opponents to prepare with so I don't think that it would matter anyway.

I agree Cap, I wonder if they played a more similar style, if a starter would have been announced. Cal has our number, why make it easy on them to game plan. You have one QB who is a pocket passer with a rocket arm, one who is more of a scrambler, and two others that are in between. Announcing a starter would at the very least give Cal an idea of what our offense might look like.

That is my hope. I will be the first to admit that I longed for the days of the dual threat after Tui...but I thought the dual threat part was what ruined Locker. He was so busy trying to prove he WAS a pocket passer, that he was pretty mediocre in both regards. I can't tell you how many times I watched him get outside the pocket and straight up throw a ball in the grass on third and five when he could have easily ran for it. Browning thought he was dual threat, how'd that turn out? Eason at times looked like the second coming of Brock Huard, only not injured.

Then? They'd take him off the field, call sideways passes. I really never understood what the offense was actually trying to do last year. They could look amazing for short stretches, and then go to shit. Maybe it was personnel, but I watched every game. There was no fire or energy, and not much attempt from coaches to get one going. I heard form people inside that it felt off, something was wrong. Then? It turns out the Head Coach has lost his passion? It makes sense. I think the offense could have been incredibly explosive last year if they played the young WRs and let Eason sling it. And don't get me started on the damn WC Formation or the sideways screen passes to small easy to tackle WRs.

I guess that is my long way of saying...it isn't the dual threat that has been the answer. Jake wasn't one, and look at how good they were his Soph year when he had explosive WRs and a competent play caller in Tedford?

I think Sirmon would have disappeared through the transfer portal by now if he hadn't won the job.

Or that is why they didn't announce that he didn't?

Feels like its been almost a year since the Huskies last played. Oh yeah it has. I honestly can't even remember their last game.

Looking forward to Saturday. And I can actually watch it without any further investment or hoops to jump through.

So I check the schedule and the game doesn't start until 10:30pm EST. Nice. Then I start to search on how I can watch it and this is what I find on the P12 network. What a sick f-ing joke.

If you hate the 7:30 PM kickoff time, you're really going to hate the time of the home opener against the Beavers. Kickoff is at 8 or 11 your time :shock:

I was in Hawaii in March one year and watched live March Madness at 6am and of course I watched the M's live in Japan starting at 2am but I don't think I have ever watched live sports between midnight and 2am so that will complete the full 24 hours of watching live sports every second of the day. LOL
