QB prospects

Right now the Ducks have offered two QBs I believe

Jake Rodrigues

Jared Johnson (Next DT?)

Figured it'd be nice to see who we are pursuing. Ducks will probably take a QB or two this class. Rodrigues isn't as fast, but seems to be a more complete package. Whereas Johnson's passing game needs some work, but his elusiveness and running ability are deadly.

Kind of a weak year to be needing a couple QBs. Really wish Oregon could have gotten another one is this last class.

Johnson is an explosive runner. I like the size of Rodrigues though and he has great numbers. Mariota is going to be great anyways and Bennett too. Just adding depth to a log jam of talent.

Rodrigues could end up being really, really good. He's labeled a "pro-style" QB but that doesn't mean he's Ryan Mallet back there, the kid can still move pretty well.

Definitely:
"As a junior in 2010 at Rocklin (Calif.) Whitney, threw for over 2,100 yards and 21 touchdowns while running for over 1,300 yards and 21 more touchdowns."

I don't get where they think he's a pro-style QB. Anytime you can rush for over 1000 yards as a QB, you can easily fit in a spread-type offense.

He does look a little slow in some of his highlights. But honestly, I think Bryan Bennett is more of a Pro-Style QB than Rodrigues.

Yeah my bad, a lot of people in the Sac area talk about his future as being in a "pro-style" system (probably in hopes that hr lands at Stan or Cal) & I think he's in that classification on Rivals.

There is a bit of difference between a mobile scrambler and a true dual threat QB. But both are very capable of running a spread.

Agreed. Frankly I would rather have a really good passer with some feet over a man with crazy scrambles and a decent arm.

Yep. CK also wants a QB that can run, not a RB who can throw!

Yeah...let's learn from the Chris Harper fiasco

He looks like a better runner than DT in those highlights to me. DT really isn't Dixon or Masoli, not that that's a bad thing he makes things happen, but anyone who thinks DT is a great running QB is fooling themselves. But he might be the smartest of the 3 and the most confident by a mile and never gets down, something DD struggled with a lot.

I agree that DT is not the second coming of DD or JM, but I felt he did a pretty good job in the middle of the season, when he had his confidence and before NC went down. I felt that his game was a bit reeled in after that.

Anyone think we start going more OSU spread than the UO spread we are used to?
I mean we started to see Kelly draw up some under center stuff for the spring game and we are doing a lot more deep passes and such compared to when Masoli and Dixon were here. Maybe this is the start of a change? Idk, I know nothing it's just a thought I had
