Utki No. 2 Share Posted December 12 I'm just curious what actual football knowers on this website think about Thompson. To me he appeared to be terrible from what little we saw. But people who know football better than me ( easy to do admittedly )were often like he will be good he will be good. Was that just hopeful homerism by Duck fans with football knowledge? To me, for all his physical talents he just appeared not mentally or emotionally competitive. But I have no idea if that's me just being a jerk.

Annie No. 6 Share Posted December 12 It's such a big leap from high school to college, so it's hard to know what 5 stars mean sometimes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyotherduck No. 7 Share Posted December 12 No fire, no "it" factor, just a big guy who managed to attract a five star rating five years ago. Third time is probably NOT the charm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 8 Share Posted December 12 Looked to have no desire to be on the field, very lackluster. The difference between Thompson and our last 2 QBs is mountainous at least. If you don’t want it it will never come your way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woundedknees No. 10 Share Posted December 12 What are the odds TT shines in the bowl game? I find it hard to believe he will suddenly find his footing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OregonDucks No. 11 Share Posted December 12 (edited) My take is that TT had tremendous physical gifts (arm strength, athleticism) but he couldn’t put it all together at the collegiate level at least at Oregon (and Tulane). I wish him the best and hope he can start and has success in his final season. He seemed like a class act.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 12 Share Posted December 13 All the star ratings do is give us higher percentages of success as we go up the star scale. But 5-Stars are not 100%, and some just don't work out. I hope he gets a degree, and has great success in his life outside of football. 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckFan93 No. 13 Share Posted December 13 What if nobody wants him? How does that work? Can he go back to Tulane and still get the scholarship? Seems risky at this point to lose that from a good school. Agree with Mr. Fishduck that that his best shot is getting a degree and a job like the rest of us.

Once you enter the portal--he can only get a scholarship back from Tulane if they offer it to him. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
