You're off topic, again.
If you basically just want to shoot the bull about stupid stuff, we do that in the pub or on the NCAA boards. You have a thread there, remember? Use it to collect your drivel.
Others here, including me, are simply sick of hearing about Oregon, because frankly, like most of the rest of the world, we don't give damn about Oregon football.
We were discussing whether or not Oku committing to UT has a lure factor for Brown. You were the one who brought up the Ducks. I agree. If you want to battle over who "has more talent", as YOU brought up, PM me about it.
I see your point, but (hopefully without getting too deeply entrenched in this) I will point out what Kiffin has said several times on this topic. That is that neither Carson Palmer, nor Matt Leinart were considered uber-QB's initially at USC. I realize that you're referencing the later years when they were absolutely tearing people up with the Leinart/Bush/White strikeforce. But Kiffin has said repeatedly that he believes we have the talent at QB, it has simply not been developed properly, a statement hopefully corroborated by his decision to let Boyd go.
So, I don't think it's necessarily fair to make that statement until this staff has had some time to build into these QB's.
Sorry for the derailment - I realize I'm taking a big risk doing that as a new guy.![]()
I agree with your observation and the potential for a QB to be good at UT. I'm not saying that UT can't be good or even that running back by committee can't work with Brown there. I'm just saying that, even if UT gets good, it will have to be in a different way than USC because they have different players. The QB difference is just one example. Maybe UT also has a better TE and one less WR than USC had, etc. Maybe their line is better at pass protection but not at run blocking. They are going to be a different team.
