Sporting News College football preseason Top 25

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Remember last year throughout the offseason when you kept pissing your pants telling everyone to expect the new center to be making several bad snaps a game? How did that work out for you Mr. Clear? That you dodged my question about how the Ducks did the last couple times they were breaking in a new QB to call me myopic is pretty weak

STOMP, you're become the PaPaG of the Duck forum. Just settle down a little- I'm not out to get you or your mortal enemy. Nor did I dodge your question. The fact is, I simply didn't answer it as I'm busy at work.

My opinion is that the last new & young QB's were mistake prone, but did an OK job. I expect this years QB to be fairly good, but mistake prone as well. There's always a learning curve in a system like ours.

But, again, chill out a bit. You're in friendly territory and I'm not here to try and get you.

the last two first year QBs under Kelly helped lead the team to the Rose Bowl and National Championship game. Darron Thomas was so mistake prone in his first year starting he was named to the All Conference 2nd team over Matt Barkley among others. Your dogged pessimism in the face of glorious facts is impressive

But, again, chill out a bit. You're in friendly territory and I'm not here to try and get you.

I'm so sorry. My far fetched hopes, Duck colored glasses, & general myopia must have gotten the best of me. Thank goodness I have a clear thinking friend like you to set things straight. Please don't let my optimism for this year's team disturb your enjoyment of the half full glass of piss you sip on each offseason... hey and maybe this will be the year that Hroniss starts spraying his snaps around?

of course there were also the glowing quotes from Chip last year following the Spring and Fall camps about how as a true freshman Marcus was really pressing BB for the backup spot. Another part of my reading the tea leaves is his HS coach's quotes raving about how both athletically and mentally MM was the best of 4 D1 QBs he's had. His high HS GPA and general composure speaks to a bright guy with the right sort of mentality, and of course there is his ridiculous highlight tape too. So no, I don't think my optimism about Marcus is based on just one Spring game.

Rereading my comments here I also gave high compliments to Bennett, noted the fans lack of overall access to accurately evaluate the two, & said I thought Kelly would make the right call on who it should be. Honestly I'll be every bit as happy if Bryan wins the job

Well alot of glowing praises comes from the spring game.. and we all know BB didn't play to the best of his ability. I like Marcus.. He has an amazing release and footwork. Plus he's very accurate, but I also like Bennett's athleticism, arm strength, and play making abilities.


Whoever takes over, I am very confident in, but it'll be sad to see the other leave. Maybe BB can play Rov. if Mariota wins the job, but ultimately, I see him transferring.

I'm liking their backup QB situation this year... it's a rough game and most likely both guys play this year. Even if one were to leave following this season, Rodrigues and Lockie seem like they'll probably develop into solid options too.

Rodriguez seems to be the guy who can be the #2/3 guy. I feel bad for Lockie though. I don't think he'll get enough playing time unless he redshirts :V

The Ducks have a cakewalk schedule to the USC game. Both teams should be undefeated, and it will be like the Oregon/Arizona State a few years ago, right before Dennis Dixon went down.

This is why I hope our #2 QB gets a lot of game reps as the season goes along.

I have seen Rodriguis play, and that guy has a HUGE arm.. as for lockie, not sure what to say about him.. I think that whoever wins the job, the other transfers atleast by next year.. Mariota and Bennett are too good to ride the pine for 3 years.

That how good Oregon's QB play will be? is the biggest question mark going into this season makes me happy. I'm sure some of it is the view from behind the homer glasses, but these two appear pretty good in every look I've had. Following this season, if someone passed over chooses to leave and all Oregon has is Jake and Jeff to go with as backups in 2013, so be it. Snowball headed downhill for Oregon and best of luck to the transfer.

All they need is a little seasoning.

we definitely have a bright future ahead of us. We have some awesome recruits coming in this year. I can definitely say that this team has me more excited for the season than any other team. I even bought a subscription to duckterritory, which i thought I'd never do.
