Lol. To be fair the Oregon wr group is better than the UW group you are referencing, by a lot. But as we saw last year, the qb most assuredly does matter. Shough had guys running open by 10+ yards on almost every drop back. He either never saw them or missed them by 15 yards

Shough played like he was on meth. Brown plays like he’s on Xanax.
Brown makes the right decisions though. He has a weird fucking hitch in his throwing motion and he’s missed long on the 4 passes I’ve seen. He’s got good short and intermediate accuracy. I like his power run game. He needs to stop fumbling.
If he can’t hit on vertical routes, we are going to have to win with defense at times. I am hoping it’s lack of timing but his mechanics make me think otherwise.
Ashford throws the ball well and is a twitchy athlete. I’d love for the proverbial light bulb to go on for him.

I still think our receiving group is one of the best in the country. We don’t have a true burner but most are pretty fast. Franklin’s 40 time translates to a 10.6-10.9. We will get some burners in the 2022 class.
I never said that the QB didn’t matter at all. Great receivers make mediocre Quarterbacks look good.

Maybe they can beat the Beavs this year
Maybe we can 3 peat as PAC 12 Football champs.
No honor at all

To be fair to Butterfield, it's not his fault that Jordan Kent is such a terrible announcer that he can't realize when a ball is spinning end-over-end to a receiver, it's less an arm strength thing and more likely the ball was batted at the line (by Navarette in this case).
It really highlights what an abortion this Spring Scrimmage was.

Our WR group was a squad of offseason warriors too. Until they weren't.
WR, OL, DL, LB will all be very good to elite units
CB, S, QB, TE could all be good units but mostly TBD
The RB room is still pretty concerning, especially with the Sean Dollars and Tre Benson injuries. I had high hopes for Dollars this year and now it sounds like the earliest he makes it back is fall camp.
That ain’t great.
