QB Jake Rodrigues is a Duck!

[Hoagduck]

He's taken an unofficial visit, so the coaches have accepted his commitment.

I like the fact that he's a "pro-style" QB that can run...so what do we know about him?

Welcome Jake!

Looks like he has some decent wheels...wonder what his 40 time is.

I don't know anything about him besides his stats, but I trust the coaches. I was just going to Mops twitter page to see if there was anything new and just saw the headline and was suprised when I saw it.

Awesome commit for the Ducks, we are doing work so far early.

My new hero!

^^That picture is funny
2012 is looking good for us.
Don't get your hopes up but we are in that 5* OT from AZ's top 13

[woundedknees]

I remember some skinny dude named, er, Dixon, or sumthin like that... I heard a rumor he was considered a pro-style QB, too, before some obscure OC named Kelly ruined him for any serious shot at the NFL.

In all seriousness, JR has some impressive guns.

So after watching some of his highlight vids so seems like a decent thrower and his running style is much more Masoli/Tebow and while he doesn't appear quick (foot speed/jukes ect) he is certainly deceptively fast because he running away from DBs in the open field, very cool!

So I really like this guy he seems really good and a different type of QB to compliment BB and MM for the future....really loving this verbal so now we have to wait and see if it stays this way.

Also have to see if they continue to pursue Jared Johnson or just stop with Rodrigues.

i kinda hope they stick with just Rodrigues, not adding another guy like Johnson, so Rodrigues knows he's the guy and stays firm. if we do add another qb, i'd rather it be a kid like Devin Fuller, who's got a lot of upside/potential, but is more of an athlete than a true qb (i.e Daryl Hawkins). so basically let Rodrigues know he's our #1, but let Fuller try out for qb if he wants to (but make sure he's willing to switch to wideout if he's not gonna beat out Rodrigues or Mariotta). basically a low risk, high reward situation.

To get a solid depth up to 4 QBs, we are going to have to take 2 QBs one of these years. I do like the idea of having an athlete who is capable of playing QB in case of a severe emergency, but it's just not ideal.

Gonna make a way too early prediction (somebody call me on this in 3 years) that this kid pushes Mariota into more of a Hawkins-type role.

i'll call you on it now. it's stupid. hawkins was never close to being as good as Mariota out of HS. why do people keep doing this crap? i love how you say 3 years. yeah, that makes sense. did you even think that if mariota was to be moved from qb that we'd have to take 2 straight classes of qb's? of course you didn't. that would be too hard.
