@DuckFootball

I asked Bryan Bennett if he's still a Duck. Said that's what he's about to go discuss with Chip. I don't believe he practiced today.

Bennett is here. Source indicates that Bryan Bennett is considering a transfer, though "not a done deal."

Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

I heard Bennett is meeting with CK right now and might transfer. CK is trying to talk him out of it.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

I just got a call from a major Duck booster- Bennett has decided to transfer. Done deal.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

I don't blame him. He's got game and the probability of not being more than a victory cigar for the rest of his college career has got to be tough to take. He wants to play.

I don't blame BB either. If he was going to transfer he needed to do it before the season started or he would have to sit out next year. I'm just being a fan of the Ducks and BB would have been one of our best backups ever. We never get a full season out of our QB's and he is great insurance.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

Maybe CK can pull off a miracle and talk him out of it but very doubtful from what I have heard.

I think if he promised him consistent playing time when we're up by 3+ TD's it could work.

Will Jake Rodrigues move to #2?

I think so but JR is coming off a injury without hardly any work with the starters this preseason. I think eventually him will be a good one though.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

wonder if Hawkins will play some QB again in order to preserve a redshirt for Lockie, and Rodriguez.

I think he might if MM doesn't get injured and will come in for a few plays in a blowout. Hawkins can't pass at all and if MM goes down I think it will be Rodriguez.

The reason why I don't think that will happen is that neither of those two would have a chance to be a starter until they're seniors. That's not happening. So I think Kelly would just burn their redshirt and place them in the rotation.

He's welcome to come to the Beavs! He can sit out Mannion's junior year and then start when Sean goes to the pros.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

I wonder if in big blowouts Hawkins and Haines would be the guys.. and then if MM goes down Rodriguez gets baptism by fire.

If Bennett transfers now from Oregon, it's a rash move. If Mariota slips up, he'll be right back in there. He should wait til December.

more from Chris.

@HeismanPundit
On the other hand, Bennett transferring might speak to how good Mariota is. It would be second QB he's chased out of Eugene in a year.

Yes, I think that is exactly how it would be handled. CK would try and save their redshirts unless he really needs them to start. Doesn't want to waste them on mop up duty that Hawkins and Haines can handle.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

yeah I'm hoping so too, especially considering if we cant redshirt Rodriguez, that puts both him and MM in the same class still. Although I guess he could always redshirt his Soph year like DT did.
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

@A_Jude: Bryan Bennett is now likely staying at Oregon, sources tell @AaronJFentress and me.

Adam Jude was one of the few who didnt come off looking stupid earlier in the year with Chip Kelly and Tampa Bay fwiw
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

This is sounding hopeful anyway. I would love for BB to stay at least one more year. CK must of worked his magic!!
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

off to dinner with the Mrs... hopefully no breaking news while I'm out. If so keep me updated please! :) you too Tlong ;) :cheers:
 
Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

It's unfortunate if he's staying now. Chip Kelly must have really spread some bullshit.
