On Bowman, remember this year doesn’t count on eligibility. We could have him Savvy ZTF Latu on the Edge next year. Think about that for a minute.

I forgot about this...you guys think Morris starts?

I do. Older and more experienced than Huard. It’s going to be tough for anyone to beat Morris out.

Unless Morris starts hitting the deep ball with some regularity Huard is going to lap him rather easily.

Doubt it. Time to learn our lessons and quit thinking the highly touted recruit comes in and plays right away.

Morris will know the offense better, have more experience, and be better at leading the guys.

I’m not going to call Sam Huard overrated but he throws 50+ times every game and his WR’s are all going Pac 12. Garbers threw for a million yards and a bunch of TD’s for a great high school program in a tough league and doesn’t start. Most QB’s are busts and don’t play.

I can also admit that we need to LIPO with Morris, but he’s shown enough that I have a hard time believing a true freshman will be better.

I'm not one who thinks the highly touted recruits always come in and play right away.

Morris will have the edge in understanding of the offense for sure but I don't think it's a huge edge. COVID has taken a pretty good chunk out of the leg up he would have had in Jon Don's scheme. And yeah he'll have experience on him but again, it's only going to be 6 or 7 games at best not 13 like a normal year.

The gap just won't be as big as it would be in a normal year.

As far as leading the guys is concerned Rome and especially McMillan came here to play with Sam. Morris will obviously have the edge with Puka and Bynum and I guess the OL but again I just don't think it's a huge edge.

Where the huge edge will actually exist is in the vertical passing game. Huard just throws an amazing deep ball which is both the thing Morris is worst at and the thing that's most important to Donovan's offense. JD wants to run consistently and the best way to eliminate the 8 man boxes we are seeing non stop is to have a home run threat behind center. Huard's skill set is a perfect match for the offense UW wants to run and while the receivers have underwhelmed some this year you will have at minimum four guys with the ability to get behind the defense next year in Puka, Bynum, McMillan and Rome (plus Emeka...).

Huard's skill set will match both the scheme and the roster better than Morris's. Again, unless Morris takes big steps forward with his deep ball.

Maybe Sam doesn't pick up the playbook quickly enough or needs time to put on more weight but what we know of his work ethic and upbringing I find both of those things unlikely.

TL;DR: ISHIT

Maybe. We won't know until he's here how well and how fast he can process. Quick decision-making, timing, and pocket awareness are all x-factors that are hard to gauge in high school and the lack thereof has led to scattered carcasses of 5 star QB busts everywhere. They're also things that Morris has done exceptionally well so far and will continue to improve at.

If Huard can clear that bar then he runs away with the job. Only a handful of QBs have his arm talent, and Morris is not even close to being one of them.

I don't even know that Huard is a guy with unique arm talent, at least not in the Jacob Eason sense. He's not throwing lasers. He just has preternatural touch and timing to go with an above average arm.

He honestly reminds me a lot of a less athletic (white), left handed Russell Wilson. He'll never have people rave over his arm strength like a Mahomes or Rodgers but he throws a catchable deep ball with soft touch and unfair accuracy.

Your points about the x factors are well taken. His ability to read defenses and handle getting hit are the biggest question marks IMO.

Maybe he doesn't start right away but I'll be very surprised if he's not the starter by the end of 2021.

He has a good arm but what makes him special is his feet, ball trajectories, pocket feel, and he’s actually a pretty explosive athlete (36 inch vert i think) so he can make some off platform throws downfield.

I give Morris somewhat of a pass on deep throws so far[/b]. Syncing that up with your receiving group takes reps. Ain't none of those to go around this year.

He's overthrown a fair amount of them so it isn't just simply an arm strength issue like it was with Browning.

Not saying he's going to turn into Elway with more reps, just that he could have significant improvement between now and the end of the season.

I agree it's not an arm strength issue. It's an accuracy issue, he just doesn't seem to know where the ball's going when it's beyond 20 yards.

Browning was very good 20-30 yards btw. It was the beyond 30 where he didn't have the strength.

Browning was not very good 20-30 yards. He was average. The passes were on target but had 0 zip

Maybe it was all his receivers but he hit a very high percentage at that range.

Tupatala had 3 snaps. He was in the whole series for Ulo and I was pissed about it.

He made on a nice run fit on the touchdown but Jackson Sirmon got prison loved by their guard or tackle which allowed him to score.

Was the tight end. Erased him so badly that it blocked him AND Turner from doing anything. Tuputala played it perfectly.

Guys, that's a cry for help. DylMo is battling a heroin addiction that affects his deep ball.

Maybe brownsox or big dick Eason should have been chasing the dragon in order not to shit their pants during the money downs

I'll take converting on 3rd downs for the first time in a fucking century it seems

For whatever is left of this scrubby little season, getting Bowman back is important.

Were not getting Bowman back he has CORONA.

Just hearing he’s been deposited on the shores of Molokai as we speak.

@AlohaDoog??!!?? True??!!??11!!???

I know the narrative is set but it absolutely wasn’t the case against Utah.

Morris converted 4 first downs through the air in 12 attempts Saturday including two picks. One of them was the Hail Mary but the dropped pick was also third down.

He was not good on third downs. Threw short of the sticks a bunch when he wasn’t throwing to Utah.
