Well my fleeting moment was close to a reality there in the 4th. If AB remains the starter for the rest of the year, I'm out. I've watched some shitty UO football in my time, but that was an all-timer right there. The only thing missing was the L.
Have to agree about AB. He had a "good enough" game in Columbus to keep moving the chains but otherwise has sucked. But it's deeper than AB.
No reason we shouldn't be scoring on every drive against garbage like Arizona. Our line should be knocking theirs on its ass, our RBs should be averaging 8 yds/carry, and the QB should have all day to pick apart middling secondaries. None of that is happening against these garbage opponents. Fucking Stony Brook was pushing us around for God's sake.
AB is QB bc our coaches are pussies. Completely risk-averse. Rather have a guy who doesn't throw picks but also can't complete passes longer than 10 yd (Redd's TD was all YAC) than a dynamic true dual threat QB in Thompson who might make a few rookie mistakes but also might energize the lines and torch the opponent through the air and with his legs.
We have the most talent in the P12 and it's not close. The league sucks. This should be a bloodbath. The easiest path to the playoff ever. Yet we're going to fucking blow it against shit opponents. Stanford? Sure, easily. UCLA? Yup. Utah, why not? UW? For Christ's sake if we lose to JImmy Lake, leave the coaches in Seattle and hire a few homeless clowns to coach the team. Beefur? Jonathan Smith will smoke our asses then all of our weed. Yeah, he'll smoke it all.
Fuck this team.
