Haywarduck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 30, 2021 What I love about AB is he is tough. The guy runs tough, blocks, and just never gives up. I thought the guy would get injured or play a bit timid, not at all! It is not a time to point out weaknesses, what do you love about AB? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck No. 4 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That was the best game AB has had this season. His passes were crisp, some right through the windows, ran well. He looked the QB of a team in contention for the Playoffs. Cheers AB! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 5 Share Posted October 30, 2021 A great game, and it has to be a huge confidence-builder for him. I am very happy for him and Oregon fans. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 6 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I really like his demeanor. Always smiling, always throwing positive vibes. Tough dude too.....runs really smart and really hard. His touchdown to Franklin was as good as it gets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckIt No. 7 Share Posted October 31, 2021 With the pocket collapsing and a LB gripping his ankle, his pass on that play sums up how strong and poised AB has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschutesduck No. 8 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hard to complain about 25/31 for 307 yards 3 TD and 0 INT. He looked really good out there today. Is it just me or have the ducks really opened up the offensive play calling the past two games? So many more players catching the ball, more of the freshman running backs getting playing time, I wonder if this has helped AB as it keeps the defense guessing a bit more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky No. 10 Share Posted October 31, 2021 He played very well. Decisions for the most part were spot on. He was smiling early and that is a good sigh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 11 Share Posted October 31, 2021 This is the AB that coaches have been telling us about. We also saw a glimpse at Thompson and got a feeling he might not be ready yet. The coaches do know their stuff... But as fans we don't get to see the practice effort only game day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

latracey No. 15 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) There's no doubt about it; Anthony Brown played like the kind of quarterback we are used to seeing in Oregon uniforms today. He had his best day of his college football career, and my hat is off to him. I also noticed that Joe Moorhead was up in the box again today. I think getting the bird's eye view has really made a positive difference in his play calling which is beneficial to Brown.

I would argue AB wasn't ready yet either, but he kept getting reps with the 1's. We need to see Ty out there with the 1's getting reps, and getting ready for next season. We have to play to win this season, but with an eye on next season, both can be done. AB is playing well, it is time to have him share some playing time with the back-ups in certain situations. Starting this week have Ty practice a few specific plays he can be successful at with the 1's. Set him up for success, because we don't know when we will need him, and I agree he doesn't look ready. AB is the leader and is looking like he can lead us to the end of the season, but we need a back-up ready for this season and next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are on-point about AB not playing timid at all. He has a lot of heart, gets out there to block, and doesn't shy away from a hit. I like the encouragement to show what people do love about AB's game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyToBeADuck No. 18 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My hat is off to AB. I love that he owns his mistakes, never stops doing what it takes to win. That's a leader. Happy for him. Proud of him. He plays to win. Consider that the Oklahoma true freshmen QB got thrown into a big game, trailing. He was ready when his opportunity arrived. TT and Butterfield just may not be ready. Colorado defense had no answer yesterday. TT made a young players mistake, hope he learns from it. He's one play away from being a starter. Now is the time to be prepared. Even without the 1's playing, TT has to make better choices. Perhaps AB was not ready to lead in September and early October. But he was the best choice. He continues to work, learn and grow. His game play results prove it. Improving each week. 7-1 is scoreboard. 8 games in, the young freshman have not proved they can be the #1 QB. That privilege is earned in practice . AB continues to earn that privilege... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
