Guesses on what the Ducks will do at QB next season?
Thoughts on Ducks QB next season? Hopefully a regular and complete season including spring ball and normal workouts. With added practice Slough is ready to lead the team? An all star incoming freshman? Transfer portal? I hope we don’t beat up on Slough, he came into the season with little game experience, was given every opportunity and still panicked at times I late in the season, can he overcome that next season? Again Slough has been raked over the coals here already, this thread is wondering where the Ducks will go.

Brown - his QB coach/handler said Brown is done at Oregon on twitter FWIW
Ashford - I hope he gets some wildcat formations cause at 6'5 225 he is an asset
Butters - Solid arm but I doubt he is better than 2nd/3rd string with mobility limitations
Millen - likely transfers or switches positions
Thompson - I think he comes in hot like Herbert did in 16, but, just like Herbert, he doesn't start day 1 but may see increased PT as the season goes along
Shough - I am not a fan at all. I'd prefer Prukop to him....but I think he is our day 1 starter :/

If Brown is really gone, I'm guessing it's Thompson. Shough should run the scout team.

On board with Thompson or Brown.
Shough probably starts through the Ohio State game and then is mercifully benched before Pac-12 play as Thompson gets his first start against Stony Brook.

I think that Ty Thompson and Sean Dollars will both start next year.

Who do you think has a better chance to start between Ashford and Butters?lukeyrid13 wrote:Brown - his QB coach/handler said Brown is done at Oregon on twitter FWIW

Sounds like Brown is leaning towards staying. I’d guess whoever is QB1 after the spring, the other guy transfers.

Re: Guesses on what the Ducks will do at QB next season?
Ashford didn’t even travel most of the year whereas Butters was 3rd string this year, so definitely Butters. I think if/when Brown leaves, using Ashford in the short yardage sets would be useful with his size and speedduck023 wrote:Who do you think has a better chance to start between Ashford and Butters?lukeyrid13 wrote:Brown - his QB coach/handler said Brown is done at Oregon on twitter FWIW

Re: Guesses on what the Ducks will do at QB next season?
That is interesting based on what you were saying about Butters mobility I thought it would be the opposite. It sounds like you are saying Butters is better at running then Ashford is at throwing. I normally think the fast guy's can learn how to throw but the good throwers can't learn to run. If the coach insists on not playing Thompson his first season. I'd like to see one of those guy's get a shot at beating out Shough. However Ty Thompson could be starting next year right away based on process of elimination.lukeyrid13 wrote:Ashford didn’t even travel most of the year whereas Butters was 3rd string this year, so definitely Butters.

Re: Guesses on what the Ducks will do at QB next season?
Ashford struggles with accuracy. If you were to watch either the All-American game or the Poly Bowl, he missed open receivers often, sometimes by a lot. That's not usually something that you can teach or see such a drastic improvement on.

But he is huge, and a great athlete. I see TE in his future.lukeyrid13 wrote:Ashford struggles with accuracy.

Re: Guesses on what the Ducks will do at QB next season?
Another day passes and Anthony Brown still has not entered the transfer portal.
Guys can enter at anytime. Maybe he wants to see how spring goes at this point. But since some mentioned him having a handler who basically said he's already gone, that seems to not be the case.
