It’s all about cause and effect, see.
Which brings me to the University of Oregon quarterback situation. Do I really need to spell it out any further? When you constantly put your quarterback in a situation with no one protecting his backside, when you throw him out there on the edge in the option where linebackers can get him in their crosshairs, when you have the ball in his hands longer than two seconds on about 70 percent of your plays — do you not expect him to take punishment?
Which is fine, I guess, if that’s the way you want to play. I mean, there’s no doubt it’s a very difficult offense to stop. But when you choose to play that way, I’d say you better not just have three quarterbacks. You better have at least a half dozen of them at the start of the season and the No. 6 guy on the depth chart better be able to play — because by the end of the season, he probably will.
That’s all I’m saying. It isn’t bad luck all these guys have gone down. It’s a byproduct of how they’re being used. It’s nothing but cause and effect, isn’t it?

other possible solutions:
– investing in some creatine for those stick figure qb’s
– recruiting qb’s that weigh more than a buck forty
Thanks for insight. It has to be more than bad luck. I cringe watching the UO qbs when they run a little, gangly legs and skinny knees and looks to me like they wear almost no knee padding.
I kind of got over that with Dixon cause he seemed to make it ok, but then he didn’t.
