Play the talent. Get them the ball. Profit.

Yeah but I heard the guys are working harder than ever!
People forgetting what the QB room looks like heading in to this season?
This is not a valid excuse. we have 3 highly-ranked 4* QBs in our stable. If you cant get decent play out of one of those guys, the problem runs much deeper

Honestly, I think our best chance of landing a good class is for the season to be cancelled or pushed to spring. Another shitty season, which is likely in my opinion, would fuck us over big time.
No reason at all for the offense to be less than solid. The OL should be good. The RBs are good. The WR have to make a leap, but they could be great. Jalen McMillan is a lot like Egbuka actually and is going to standout from day one.
The QB needs to be able to hand off the ball and throw to guys wearing purple. Piece of cake. Ronnie Fouch could do it.

I've been saying this for a looooooong time. I don't know of any other school in the country at which the hit rate for Elite-11 quarterbacks is one in nine (unless one of the current guys is actually good, then it's two in nine).

If only P12 cancels, we fucked. Anyone worth a shit, recruit or player or coach, will LEAVE.

Who is the one?
Some of us adopted the SEC years ago to prepare for this day

Look, I understand that the narrative around here is that Jake Browning sucks, and it's true that he was never the best quarterback in the country or won a lot of big games, but denying that he was a good college quarterback is just ignoring math, stats, facts. Particularly before his shoulder got destroyed. That he regressed beyond his sophomore season is--to me--even more evidence that the problem was the system rather than the talent in the QB room. Replaced him with a 5-star big dick gunslinger last season, with largely the same team around him, and they fell off a cliff.
I'd call Browning a successful college quarterback. Successful enough that I'd say he lived up to 4-star billing. I think he could have been even better in an offense that made sense, too, which goes to the heart of the argument that I don't think it's necessarily true that every other quarterback in the system was total garbage. I see it more as a total waste of talent than a total lack of talent.

If the pac12 cancels Washington has to leave the conference immediately

This could end up being the tipping point that allows the few teams in the PAC who who give a shit (namely UW Oregon and USC) to bolt for greener pastures.
The big conferences would be clamoring to expand their media markets to the west coast. There’s a reason the B1G added fucking Rutgers to their league
This is not your grandfather's Washington
I'm guided by science and as much as I would love to dispute this the Big Dick Failure Factor lends quite a bit of credence to it
I would be enraged by Browning but almost as many times enraged at the play calling

I was being sarkastic but good points.
I do think fans underestimate the number of highly rated qb busts. In the first 15 years of the Elite 11 only 52 were drafted or about 3.5 per year. By my rough count 21 became NFL starters. Effective NFL starters? Stafford, Luck, Winston, Goff, Watson, Bridgewater? Allen?
That is just looking at the finalists. Many of UW’s four star qb busts didn’t make the finals.
Lindquist, KJCS, Eason, Garbers, Montana, Locker, Paus is the list.
Something else interesting is the number of transfers in recent years:
2008: 5/12
2009: 8/12
2010: 7/12 plus one went baseball.
2011: 6/11
2012: 7/11
2013: 4/11
2014: 9/11
2015: 8/11
