    My take is that when you talk about JKS you don't really name any area in which you believe he is better than Moore. You don't mention:
    • Accuracy
    • Decision-making
    • Ability to Read Defenses
    • Football IQ
    • Leadership
    • Mental toughness
    • Arm strength
    • Footwork
    • Improvisation
    • Overall toughness
    or any of the other intangibles that make Quarterbacks great. You just say you feel he's better. It's fine that you feel that way but the highly paid UO coaching staff thinks otherwise.
    Who are we supposed to consider more, you or the people who are getting paid to win games for their coaching careers? Dante is doing a great job. I don't know why you don't like him, he's balling... :dunno:

    UO will ALWAYS be able to recruit talent worldwide. If we missed on JKS, it happens. Teams miss.

    Its also the other qb's in the room now and NIL bucks. If he develops after a year or two at Cal, who knows what could happen. Oregon strategy to a degree is to let targets bake early then decide on portal selects and nil commitment.

    geeeezuzz....you are twisting any rational logic into a insane pretzel to justify a wild assertion

    yeah, right...all the Ducks had to do was guarantee the starting QB position at a P4 school to a high school player....when they already had Moore and Novosad. No principled coach of a P4 program would do that. And it may not have mattered anyway. JKS had been committed to Cal before he flipped a few days before LOI day, then flipped back. Even a dishonest promise of a starting gig may have not done the job. You simply don't know

    it also doesn't matter how many times you write choose in caps...it doesn't change reality

    I'm also not buying the assertion that JKS is better than Moore, especially not this season

    I don't give a flying fuck how many times you say choose in caps

    I agree Moore might be better this year. Maybe.

    Nah, he gave valid reasons for his disagreement. What you haven't done is give valid reasons why you think JKS is better than Moore. We're still waiting on that. :dunno:
