Good News On QB

I would be happy with either one. I don't have a preference. Just to land one of these guys would be big for the Ducks!

I'm not sure we are in a position to be picky. I'll be excited to get either one.

When the Ducks start consistently winning recruiting battles over some of the big name schools, instead of just making their fans nervus, we will know the Ducks have arrived... Not in the annals of college football history, but in the hearts ond minds of the youth playing the game across this country.

Right now, in many cases, Oregon is the hot chick they date, before they get married to the girl they think will help their career, because of her family connections...

In my opinion you can't really compare Harper to Gonzalez, because if you look at film on Harper you could see he was an athlete trying to play QB, whereas Gonzalez is more of a QB with athletic ability and a HUGE upside. From what I have seen of Gonzalez he can still make the tough throw if necessary and although he isn't as polished as Legeaux is at passing, he is a better runner, which is extremely important for us and he has that "IT" factor. I don't really know how to explain it, but if you read the ESPN write up on him you can get somewhat of an idea as to what I mean.

I do agree with you about Gonzales having the it factor. He's a football player that plays to win games. And by no means was I actually comparing Harpers skill sets to Gonzales'. I was just pointing out what happens when you have a QB in our offense that isnt proficent enough with throwing the football and reading defenses'. Its not pretty at all. But neither was watching Brady Leaf run CK's offense.
