The PAC12 THREAD v.2

[WizardHawk]

Not sure UW can pick just one. Warren Moon is a HOF QB, but due to the black QB barrier in the 80's he spent half of his career in Canada. He also was a JC transfer so he didn't have as many seasons as he could have.

Mark Brunell was part of our championship team, but was hurt part of that year and was probably a better pro than college player because of it.

Marques Tuiasosopo was a fan favorite and lead the team after the Don James era to a RB win and was one hell of a gritty ball player.

Honorable mention to Sonny Sixkiller. Not only for the coolest name, but in the era of the QB he was a stand out QB. Had he been a few years earlier or a few years later he would have had a lot more national attention, but it's difficult when you are playing at the same time as Archie manning, Joe Theismann, and Jim Plunkett. He turned the UW program around from a 1 win team to like 6-4 in his sophomore season and went on to hold most UW passing records by the time he graduated.

If pressed I guess I'd take Moon. His '78 team I believe it was that upset Michigan in the RB to hand James his first major bowl win was the beginning of something huge on Montlake. He was the RB MVP that year. Hard to not take him.

Went on to marry Don James's daughter didn't he Whiz? Whatever happened to Sonny, loved that guy.

Sonny does TV commentary up here.

I'd ask you where one of your former QB's is Wallace, but I know right where he is. Jonathan Smith in his office on the shores of Lake Washington.

^ Talk about a small QB with a huge heart and an arm...THAT GUY is a winner and should be down in Corholevallis as OUR QB COACH! Hope you Huskies like him.

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or when I saw that.

And Smith isn't just our QB coach, he is also the OC. He has some huge shoes to put on that lil body of his.

For Oregon I would have said Dennis Dixon. I guess it still is Dixon. But Mariota is writing himself his own legacy and after this season I will have to replace Dixon with Mariota...maybe.

He came over with Petersen from Boise. He spent the last two years on his staff helping develop southwick. Think I read he had him up to around a .70 completion percentage which is amazing given it's southwick and I don't think that kid is really up to Pac standards by any means.

Before that he spent a couple of years at Montana where he had them in the top 20 of total offense.

He has had success at the mid-major level. Now it's time to see if he can carry it forward to the majors.

I'm sure he must be stoked about coming in and having a first year starter to work with and develop. He isn't inheriting someone he has to adapt to for a year or two. He gets to run things his way right out of the gate.

ASU is Danny White or Jake Plummer. Probably White.

I was hoping you'd go for Jake Plummer and 95 Seconds away from ASU's only MNC. When Jake scored I thought he'd done it.

Frick Vita I replied earlier, I am beginning to think half the board has me on ignore.

Thank you all for the diversion this board provides me when work is slow, or the kids are entertained elsewhere.

Obviously rushed threw it, hell I put Moon on Wash St. for goodness sakes!

I did see that and I missed it too, no slight intended!

No shit. I mean we know a lot of people hate Moon these days, but enough to banish him to Pullman? Harsh ass stuff there man. Just harsh.

Uh, Dan Fouts says Hi!!

 

[trojanfan12]

Best qb in USC history: Matt Leinart - Back to Back NCG appearances, Back to Back NC's (AP), too bad he was an idiot in the NFL.

Norm Van Brocklin too says hello

2007 Dennis Dixon was winning the Heisman and a national title before his injury.
