Why is everyone taking Jimmy at his word here? He’s not gonna tip his hand about this when he’s trying to surprise cal.

Cal should just prepare to face shit QB play and I am pretty sure they will have it covered.

Nothing worse than a shitty QB being "aggressive."

I would normally agree with you, but this information that none of them are standing out is coming from a player's dad (or something like that), not Jimmy.
While I hate the practice of playing multiple guys in specific games, I also think coaches are generally stupid and they often make bad decisions when its a close decision. Ideally we would see these guys against Sac State or Hawaii instead of Cal, but one guy will step up and prove it in a game, or they won't. EWIWBI
Just my own theory but I think they were planning on Sirmon being the guy but he has been too sloppy with decision making so now they are trying to figure out which if the other 3 will be the best game manager
Does anybody really think it’s not gonna be Thomson?

Simon seemed like the pretty clear #2 last year after Haener transferred. I assume that they got Sirmon to stick around by telling him that he would be the guy after Eason did his 1 and done. Fuck Pete for not giving him more game time in mop up duties. QB decision making is not something that improved in a Peterman offense and Sirmon was mistake prone to begin with.

My USC homer dad is up visiting from Nevada, and we got to talking ball last night over some beers (before I shamed him to near-suicide in both Tetris and Dr. Mario...). He was curious who's playing quarterback for our Huskys this year, and I mumbled something about if you have four, you don't have one, blah blah, but he persisted, so I broke out the film.
Watching all four quarterbacks actually play football back to back was really confusing. Watching just the good plays (because it's a highlight reel), you'd think Sirmon is Barry Sanders[/s] Jack Lockner 2.0. Big, strong, arm cannon, and really athletic in the pocket, buying time, shrugging off sacks, etc. His film is SO much better than the other three that he has to be a Wonderlick zero to explain the ongoing competition. "Six interceptions against Woodinville, Dad. Six."
Thomson's film is the most instructive, as it's both the most recent and against college competition. The film says he's offensive player of the year in whatever shit league he played in, but the numbers don't wow you at all. Neither does the film. He throws from the side of his shoulder, so I'd be surprised if half his passes wouldn't be batted down at the line. He's decently mobile, but only in a Jake Browning sense, not Cam Newton. Arm strength looks below average. Suspicious lack of throws that stretch the field in a highlight reel (and everyone's talking about how much more "aggressive" Donovan is in 2020...). Being at his third school is obvious red flag.
Morris is Browning with a shittier team and against shittier competition. A lot of his highlight completions are to well covered receivers who go up and get it. You could take this is incredible accuracy or you could take this as poor decision-making. Overall, he looked alright.
We only watched Garbles' film for 30 seconds, as the intro told you all you need to know: 70% for over 5000 yards and 70:6 TD:INT, plus 500 rushing. Clearly this guy can play football.
Anyway, I was kind of dooging for Garbers, as I felt it was the only chance of the team having a QB who actually adds value this year. Everyone else is a known quantity who we'd have already seen if they were a difference maker. Garbers winning would imply he's actually good, not just "on the team longer."
I don't like the idea of just throwing in the towel and going with the placeholder transfer this year while waiting for Sam the savior next season. Lake needs to win NOW to avoid a big program setback down the road, as anybody following recruiting can see. There is too much to lose with local recruits to just punt on this season. I don't care if it sets you up for butthurt and transfers next season if Huard beats out a younger incumbent. Just fucking play the QB who is most likely to win and let next year sort itself out. Sounds like the two guys who would most imply that there's nothing special in the cupboards are leading the competition, so I'm fresh out of hope.

I think the staff likes him because he has good running ability, maturity, and extensive game experience, albeit at a lower level. Who can actually manage a full game at QB?
I don't see Sirmon as a guy you just throw out there against Cal in his first start.

Listened to an interview with Lake, and when he was asked about Savvy he talked about how he is flashing and causing a lot of havoc in the backfield, but he needs to learn more technique.
The very next question he was asked how Puka is performing so far in camp. Lake’s only response was that he is really excited for Puka Nacua and he knows that Husky Nation is really excited about Puka Nacua and he is a great player who has a lot of energy.
So yeah, I’m now convinced Puka is hurt.

That[/i] is the NFL identity Lake is looking for. 62 yard drives ending with FGs.

If you can't see that Sam Huard's unborn child is the best QB on the team right now I can't help you.

2016 offensive was dominated in spring and fall practice by the defense.

Can't wait.
Said this in another thread. It is my sliver of hope.
