I did a quick search and read some comments that Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, Matt Leinart and Matt Barklet all were highly regarded prospects that went back to school. Didn't work out for two and did work out for two. Adding in what I said about next years qb class being absolutely loaded (which could include Simpson too), it is a tough decision indeed. He would need an elite season to stay at the top of the pack. Could totally happen but so much risk there.

Luck and Manning were #1 overall picks while Leinert was #10... how is that not working out? Barkley was massively overrated by the media because he'd followed some marquee QBs at USC. By NFL starting QB standards he was on the short side, lacked arm talent & was not athletic. Dante is about the same height as Barkley but has always had an elite arm and good athleticism. He is a much better prospect physically. The comparison that rings most true for me is Rodgers.

I don't see his draft choice as that tough of a decision, more like an enviable one. If he feels that another year at UO betters his chances of success at the next level, then he stays for more money in one year of NIL money then most of us will make in a lifetime. With out question if he returns he'll take out a multi-million dollar insurance policy protecting him against the risk of suffering a debilitating injury. If he feels he's ready, then he goes and is a top pick making generational money on his first contract. Of course the 2nd contract a starting NFL QB signs makes that 1st contract look like a pittance... along with success in his chosen profession, thats the real prize.

Maybe Phil ponies up $15 million this year to keep him?

The figure I've heard bandied about by insider types is 4-5M

If Moore leaves, the Ducks will have their choice of many good potential transfers qbs. They will be fine.

Fully agree with this. If Dante leaves, Oregon will have 5 QBs currently in the NFL... 6 if you count Shough. That sort of success recruits itself

Ohio st dealing with the same month long hangover that the Ducks dealt with last year

I meant Leinart didn't really work out because the year before he was talked about going #1. His career didn't work out anyways with the 1 extra year so he lost out on the difference between potentially being #1 and #10 in salary.

It still worked out semi fine for Leinart because the drop wasn't Barkley level. But, the drop off in salary is pretty big. As I said earlier, going from top 5 to 15 is 20 million or so.

So lame this game is ESPN

 

[KingSpeed]

Let’s GO

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Go Ducks

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Definitely an argument for PI on that pass to the end zone. Still, Tech D stepped up early when they needed to.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Nice start Duck D!! Definitely did not expect a 3-and-out on Tech's first possession

 

[crandc]

Went to make a cup of tea and by the time it was done Ducks scored three.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Huge play on that 4th-and-2

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Fuck

 

[HailBlazers]

Garbage play call on 4th

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Got cute with the QB run and then the wildcat. Need to just handle business playing traditional ball.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ducks need to capitalize on the work of their defense.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Garbage play call on 4th

Too cute

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Tech D-Line is legit. Every bit of hype is earned

 

[HailBlazers]

Their defense is unreal.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Saw the stat earlier this week that the Ducks have not yet lost a game under Lanning without allowing at least 30. That's gonna be tested today

 

[MickZagger]

I wonder if Texas Tech will get a 1st down before the half.

 

[MickZagger]

Their defense is unreal.

I know. Ducks haven’t allowed a 1st down. That TT defense is going to be gassed in the 2nd half

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Duck D came to play. Now the offense needs to get their shit together.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Gotta convert this into points

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Dammit

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Un-freaking-believable....

 

[crandc]

Shit. Wasted opportunity.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Wow, what a plant and change of direction. Huge play

 

[PtldPlatypus]

AND THE DUCK D COMES UP HUGE AGAIN!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Really, really want to see the offense utilize those tight ends

 

[crandc]

Ducks keep shooting themselves in the web. Can't believe auto correct changed to Dicks.
