Ok, fine. Top three
But I have a hard time saying he's the best qb in the conference when he struggles with the blitz against a mediocre Utah squad. That was a pretty bad pick, and unlike some of the other guys he doesn't have the ability to will the team to a win by himself.
He's in the top three in the State of Washington.
Haven't seen CWU play.
@koopdog
Put UW in the Louisville Clemson game and tell me that Browning makes the plays that Watson and Jackson made to keep their teams in the game.
I would even take Falk over him. Probably Darnold, despite the turnovers.
Brother, I don't know, because he hasn't been put in that position yet. I think he's really, really, really good. I'll go with Browning. Look at the quantum leap in his development since last year. Next year? We'll see. We are a year ahead of what I thought would happen.
We must not be watching the same game. He's alright, certainly in the top 15 in the country. But elite? Idk man.
I honestly believe if he's not now, he will be. His development is off the charts. Put that together with his competitive streak and his accuracy which is empirical, and his ability to evade the pocket rush.....yes. And his ability to look off the defense. A true Sophomore. I'm a doog for him like I was for Peterman. I get that. But I'm right.
What's been empirically proven this year is that the team does better when Jake doesn't have to throw more than 20-22 times per game. That's not the mark of a transcendent qb.
His interception today happened because he stared down his receiver, and he's still shitting his pants against the blitz.
I get that it's exciting to have an above average qb after 15 years, but slow the man crushage down a little bit.
It's completely FS to use 1 pick as reason why a QB is overrated. Sure, he stared down the receiver. But if that was normal for him he'd have a hell of a lot more picks than his current 3 after 8 games. Using an extreme outlier as evidence to bolster your argument is disingenuous and just dumb. Guy has 28 touchdowns and 3 picks. You don't get a 9+/1 TD/INT ratio staring down receivers consistently.
For fuck's sake, dude didn't have his best game today. But he's a true sophomore and balling out. It's ridiculous. I swear if Andrew Luck played at UW, some of you fucks would complain that Tom Brady is better. So, say some ACC QBs in fact are better than him. What does that change? He's still our quarterback and will likely only get better. Who fucking cares if Watson as an upperclassman is a little better? It's irrelevant and has nothing to do with Brownnose being good or not.
