exactly. He has a cannon actually. His future is in baseball or at safety

if sark can turn him into a passer it will mean more than chow turning young into a passer

HOW-EVA

sark never proved his mettle to me post-chow at USC

well, he followed up arguably the best college OC ever.

Players said his offense was overly complex, especially compared Chow. The first thing Bates did when he came i was to try to simplify the offensive scheme. He also had some head scratching play calls between he and Kiff

He's a great recruiter though, which is what Washington needs

i agree

i just mean with JDB and sanchez, they just didn't live up to expectations set by palmer/leinart

and JDB/Sanchez had more ability than leinart, so i just have to put a lot of it on the development/coaching

He's fun to watch and a better athlete than most any player in college football for his size.

and all that athleticism may go to waste if he has to run the offense we all know sark wants to run

Sanchez had equal or better numbers last year than Leinart ever put up in his career with not even close to the offensive weapons fwiw

I didn't realize he was such a good runner! I didn't know that was such a big part of his arsenal. We need to be ready to contain him. That has been a problem for our d in the past is containing mobile qb's. He's definitely a good looking player.

Hes a great athlete, but do you have any idea how many 6'3 230lbs. athletes their are in college football. Look for # 3 on saturday. He fits the description and is far and away a better athlete than Locker. We prolly have around five more that you could insert here

Ask the QB from Appalacian St. how he did against us last year (Armanti - I think?). Same goes for G.Tech in the bowl game.

he's very athletic, but Matt Jones ran a 4.4 40, had a 40 inch vert and had a 10'9" broad jump. Locker wont get close to those type of number

Doesn't run a 4.39. That's like saying he's as fast or faster than ron brooks.
