Hey guys, I compiled a highlight reel of Duck commit Jake Rodrigues for you guys to watch. Theres something I like about this kid and I have a feeling he'll come in and play right away. He has some intangibles I haven't seen in other Chip Kelly QBs. Check out his highlights and let me know what you think.

Great video. I've been real impressed by his highlights so far. Has really great vision while running and seems to really possess an arm strong enough to make most of the throws needed in Chip's offense.

Jake is a great pick up for sure and I'm excited for him to come up and be a duck. But I don't know about him starting right away over DT, if he is here next season most likely will be tho. He won't start over BB, or Marcus. He'll be here a min before he gets in there starting right away.

Good luck with your website and all but posting nonsense like this isn't going to detract any serious fan from your site. He looks like he could be a nice player for us, in 3-4 years.

I think you're high if you think he is going to play right away. That is non-sense. He may be good, but right now he is 4th in line and won't see the field for 3 yrs.

QB roadmap seems to be:

2012 Thomas/Bennett
2013 Bennett/Mariota
2014 Bennett/Mariota
2015 Mariota/Rodrigues
2016 Rodrigues/???

Of course, a lot could happen to switch things up. Leaving early for NFL. Position switch. Injury. New recruit coming in. Someone outplaying a more senior QB.

Seems like Bennett is going to be tough to beat. But, I could see a genuine QB battle happening between Mariota and Rodrigues in 2015. Rodrigues will have had time in the system by then and Mariota may not be an established heir yet, playing behind Bennett.

I wouldn't be dismissing Jeff Lockie so easily. The kid beat out Cal Zach Kline, for 1st team all conference and POY in their conference for a reason.

As with all other recruits, both Rodrigues and Lockie will be given every opportunity to earn playing time, early or otherwise. Glad to have them both in the pipeline. The Ducks are short on scholarship players at the QB position right now. Keeping relatively healthy at the QB position has helped mask this the past few years (knock on wood). The Ducks would be in a world of hurt if they had to dip 5 deep in the QB rotation right now, as they had to in the not so distant past. Rodrigues and Lockie will help shore up this deficiency and get the scholarship number at the most important position on the team up where it should be.

I remember that season. I also can't seem to recall the last time the Ducks have had to use the 5th qb prior to then. does anybody know?

I believe the Ducks went to the 5th string QB in back to back years ---- crazy odds for that.

This for sure. I watched his highlights a few days ago. His tape looks very similar to Rodrigues'. He makes good throws, runs well and is pretty fast. His throwing motion isn't quite there, but he does well with it.

Spins the ball pretty good.

"I think they get the point now," he said. "USC was recruiting me hard but they haven't called in three weeks or so. Nebraska was also recruiting me, but hasn't called in a while either. I keep telling them all there is no change and I'm 100-percent Duck."

He's helping us recruit some guys.

Rodrigues is putting in his dues on the recruiting trail. He said he has been recruiting
teammate Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick, Arik Armstead and Shaq Thompson.

"I know Jalen is visiting Oregon for the civil war game," Rodrigues said. "I'm going to Stanford next
week and I'll take my official to the USC game. Shaq sounds pretty interested in Oregon and I know we
are in the hunt. It's tough to say on Arik, but I think Oregon will get a visit."
