Handy Duck's Achievements

  1. I know, I know: we've been spoiled as Ducks by having either Marcus or Justin as Marble Statue QBs for our Ducks for most of the last decade, and the last thing we ever had to worry about was our Offense. So having this year's Broken Toy offense has been very unfamiliar and painful: I took to recording Duck games and only watching them when I knew the outcome--skulking through them like an abuse victim trying to avoid further anguish. BUT, I take great pleasure in seeing Bo Nix jump to Oregon recently EVEN if he never plays a snap in a game: because Bo just put Oregon on the map for a lot of kids in the SEC who couldn't find us on a map otherwise---and that's gonna pay dividends in recruiting for years to come. That's probably my favorite thing about college ball--the regional loyalty of it: that kids in Alabama and Louisiana who've been watching Bo Nix for the fifteen years he seems to've been at Auburn will now be loyal to him in a Duck uniform and consider us just like Bo did. Do I wish Bo would flame out early so we can finally start Ty Thompson or one of our Bonus Baby Ducks? Of course! I like having a consistent QB yearly. Do I suspect that our new OC will be hard pressed to bench Bo, having coached him as a frosh at Auburn? Of course. And will my heart break a little watching our stable of thoroughbred QBs jump ship? Yep. But one thing we know for sure: Oregon is truly an elite school now. Elite enough to lure Kirby Smart's DC away, and along with him, a string of SEC stalwarts who wouldn't've considered us five years ago. And that's very very good news for Our Beloved Ducks.
  2. Agreed. We've been spoiled that most years of the last decade we had either Marcus or Justin at QB and a solid running game. I was perhaps the last Duck fan loyal to Anthony Brown, but he played Utah like a crash test dummy expecting to be hit at all times.
