QB Jake Rodrigues is a Duck!

[vagusnerve]

indeed, duderino...

i think ducks fans just aren't accustomed to having multiple elite level QBs in each class. we always had elite QBs, but only one or two of them.

all of a sudden we have depth at QB, which is difficult for even the best contenders to do.

and i concur that the head, and not the arms or feet, is the most important body part for a qb.

DT is a perfect example of that. not the strongest arm, not the fastest or quickest, but he knows his s***, and the offense is successful because of it.

Exactly. Another great example is Kellen Moore. Hardly an imposing athlete, but just deadly on the field.

[Boom]

We will never have a hard time finding a QB/Athlete to step into this offense.

For you Rodrigues doubters, here is some great elite 11 footage for you. Also a great quote by the guy putting this elite 11 camp on "he is the best prospect we have seen on this tour." That tour includes Texas, Florida and Georgia as well as Stanford. After watching that video I wouldn't doubt if he moves way up the rankings.

God damn buck. You just flipped me from "ok that's nice" to "HOT DAMN!"

His throws looked crisp and awesome. Great that he is competing against the best, that brings out the best.

That right there should give everyone an idea of the QB that Chip just got, now we just have to have him sign on NLOI Day.

I think you can count on Jake being at least a 4-Star when the next recruiting rankings come out.

Great find Buck (WOW! Great comments) clearly the kids got crazy amount of talent but I don't think we have any "doubters" here because we are all homers, some more than others but as far as who's going to be our next QB? We will just have to wait and see because our pipeline (with Jake signed) looks fantastic and I for one can't wait to see the future QB battle between MM, JR and BB!!!

...so may the best man win!

[UofDuck]

Have to say that video did endear me to the kid A LOT. Ton-o-talent and the ending scene showed he has manners and humility as well. I love it. I like Marcus' attitude too though, so I'm pulling for both now!!

[Bigducker]

Should be a monster competition, but I'm going with MM. It's going to be great to have all of them in the fold. We look great at QB and RB for the next 4-5 years. Now if we can add some more studs on the O-line to go with last years group we'll really be set.

WOW.

Jake Rodrigues, Whitney (Rocklin, Calif.) It was at the very same regional camp last year where Rodrigues opened eyes. This year was not different, as Rodrigues proved to be one of the nation’s best quarterbacks with another stellar performance. He really impressed the coaches with his quick delivery and the way he spun the ball. He throws to all parts of the field with ease, looking really good throwing over the middle, regularly hitting receivers in stride. With a few offers heading into the day, look for Rodrigues to gain more national attention once schools hear more about him.

Ironically, the video that shows up now in that link is a piece about Flenory, Anthony Wallaces recruitment, Chip Kelly, etc.

Love how they put the $3750 charge in GIANT RED OUTLINED LETTERS!
