I do think Gabriel's ceiling is lower than Bo's. That being said, the offense will look a bit different with him running it given that he's truly a dual threat QB. We might see the offense revert more into a similar look that we saw in DL's first season with Dillingham managing the scheme, significantly more running by Gabriel than we saw Nix do last season. That being said, he's a more than competent passer and I wouldn't be surprised if he floated around that 4k passing mark with around 400+ rush yards (Bo had over 4.5k passing yards last season for reference).

Plus I don't think the coaches were allowing the QBs to run really at all to minimize risk of injury. That hamstrings a guy like Dillon Gabriel, also he and Dante are still new and don't have chemistry with the receivers yet.

Oregon Football's National Championship Odds After College Football Spring Games WWW.SI.COM The Oregon Ducks football team has one of the best odds in college football to win the National Championship. After the Spring game, Ducks have the 4th best odds for a national championship according to FanDuel.

Interesting drama caused by the bizarre decision-making by Atlanta in taking Pennix. Sean Payton reveals how Falcons ruined Raiders, Vikings, Broncos truce in NFL Draft FANSIDED.COM The Broncos, Vikings and Raiders were all on the same page. The Falcons created chaos.

Austin made a very loud statement that the development/talent gap between him and Dante is not as big as some have thought. He might pull even with Moore by the beginning of next season and provide a very entertaining competition for QB1.

I'm honest shocked Troy dropped to the 4th round, he's a legit 2nd rounder at least. But it works out well going to Denver with Bo.

Or green! Maybe yellow with a green outline? lol

It’s a good setup for JPJ, he gets to sit behind Hroniss Grasu and learn from great veteran!

Glad Denver picked him, I think coaching-wise it was the best place for him. Now where’s JPJ?? Some center from Duke got picked before him?

IKR? Wouldn't that be an awesome cross-town rivalry starting two Duck QBs a few seasons from now??

Interesting article here. It says don't be surprised if the LA Rams take Bo at #19. Sean McVay needs a successor to Matthew Stafford so it would benefit Nix to sit and learn from a guy like him for a couple seasons. Plus evidently there's a Nix family connection with the current Rams GM. Bo Nix draft rumors have Oregon QB tied inescapably to one team FANSIDED.COM Former Oregon and Auburn quarterback Bo Nix is one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft. He may have starting experience out the wazoo, but

I hope DL snags this guy!

What's interesting is that he's basically quoting DL's pre-game speech before playing Colorado last season. My understanding is that Oregon has reached out to him and there's some mutual interest, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I love reading about local kids really capitalizing when they get their chance. Ryan's so young and just at the start of his coaching career, it's very conceivable that in a few years if Coach Terry decides to move on, he could step up at the OL coach.

Given the fact that we had multiple injuries to starters on defense for the Pac-12 championship game last season I say stack up as many as humanly possible.

Shocking and tragic, thinking good thoughts for Kim and her family 😢

Ducks recruiting heating up! Four-star wide receiver Isaiah Mozee commits to Oregon Ducks WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Mozee is the third four-star wide receiver to commit to Oregon from the 2025 class.

Well that would explain the arrest. But no details on the circumstances, I'm going to wait for those to come out before forming an opinion.

Coach Lock making the news again and not in a good way. Sounds like something in his brain just snapped. https://footballscoop.com/news/veteran-rbs-coach-responds-to-carlos-locklyns-comments-who-exactly-is-he-talking-about-curtis-luper-missouri

If Mario's still running that Pistol then Damian should avoid Miami. I don't think any RB would love running into a solid wall of defensive linemen every down, no matter how big they are.

Dillingham leaving for the ASU gig was the primary (and most obvious) reason. He's just confirming it now. Dante Moore said only one school stood out when he elected to transfer from UCLA and it was Oregon 247SPORTS.COM Oregon sophomore QB Dante Moore spoke about his decision to come to Oregon via a transfer.

Evidently the reason for the abrupt about-face was NIL (he says it's not but we all know it is). Oregon State’s Damien Martinez claims NIL collective ‘lied,’ Dam Nation says it has ‘1000 percent’ delivered on commitments WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Martinez, a two-time all-conference running back, plans to put his name in the NCAA transfer portal when the spring football window opens Tuesday

Interesting. If Oregon's RB room wasn't so packed I'd say go for it but there's no need to. I wonder if he's making the right decision...he could've taken the 400k, played 1 more season where he demolished G5 opponents to pad his stats, then declared for the NFL. His bonefides wouldn't be in question since he spent his first 2 seasons against P5 competition averaging 1k+ rushing between them.

This should be really interesting to see how things shake out by the time Fall practices start, there's so much talent that it's hard to predict what will happen. The pragmatic side of me believes the returning players have the advantage since they know the playbook already. Tez and Traeshon will be WR1/WR2 (interchangeable) and Gary Bryant upgrading himself to WR3. That being said, Evan Stewart is likely to disrupt this order and possibly Jurrion Dickey and Kyler Kasper as well. I see Gary having the highest odds of being the odd man out and if it happens, may transfer. I'm not saying it's likely but out of the 3 current top returning WRs, he's the most susceptible to get bumped down.
