I don't know who Morgan Flint is but I hate the moral grandstanding when a player gets flak for playing poorly.

Was a kicker for the Ducks.

I agree, great post. Nobody wants to anoint Brown as a great QB, he clearly had his limitations, but the second half of the bowl game showed that he’s not very bad when Mario isn’t around. Mario hurt the team and we should be glad he’s gone. Thankfully Mullens was wise enough to not offer him as much as Miami. A coach that causes QB’s to regress and play well below their abilities shouldn’t be a highly paid coach. If Herbert had a good offensive coaching staff his Sr season he would’ve competed with Burrow for the Heisman and the national championship would’ve been between LSU and Oregon, and considering how much better Oregon’s defense was under Avalos they might have been able to win that game. It was literally Mario and Arroyo’s offense that kept that talented team from competing for a national championship.

He was a good fg/xp kicker. My fave play was him taking a pass across the goal line for a two pointer

I don’t think it was that fans were upset but it was misdirected criticism, seems to me he thinks the blame/criticism should’ve been directed to the coaches, not Brown, which I agree with.

I still believe the boos where a result of our fans seeing the Sooners boo and get a new QB put in. Then seeing how much of an upgrade that qb was.

As far as Flint’s comment, it was unnecessary and had no point for posting it other than self recognition. That said booing AB has been covered for weeks, I hated seeing and hearing the boo’s by Duck fans. As far as my opinion on AB, he being done at Oregon is a bright spot of the season ending, in my book AB will fall amongst the worst QB’s in Oregon history. I do blame MC and staff for some of his failures, but all his bad throws and taking a couple of seconds to shuffle his feet while trying to decide which hole to hit on his runs only to get sacked or a very short gain is 100% on him. Not sorry to see him gone, onto next year and winter reports of the Lanning era.

Especially because it’s likely based on the assumption that Twitter is real life, because I highly doubt he’s talking to these fans in person. Whatever he’s seeing is probably 50% phony accounts and bots, and even if they were all real people, Twitter represents a fraction of whatever population you’re looking at. In this case, Duck fans.

Twitter is also a great place to yell into the void about what a great person you.

Kickers are best in football, when they aren’t seen or heard.

I think taking the place kick for extra points and field goals should be taken out of the game. Just don't see how a soccer player can decide a game where highly trained athletes have left everything on the field in blood sweat and tears. Would make the game a lot more exciting in my book having to go for 2 points after every touchdown. Radical I guess, but to me it's going to happen eventually as long as the PC crowd doesn't legislate the game out of existence.

^ 95% agreed.

Both Brown and the staff deserve the criticism as this was a synergistic effort. Morgan Flint’s opinion can get 1% more weight than an average fan, unless it’s about the teams he was on or about kicking.

My one slight disagreement is that Anthony Brown wasn’t as bad as a few other opening day starters, and we’ve had to start worse QBs than him after injuries. But I don’t like the people grandstanding against booing and so forth, this is a grown man in his sixth year of college, this isn’t the QB for a middle school JV team.

Ultimately AB gave 100% for this team and was instrumental in defeating Ohio State, Washington State and Oregon State.

This season has been very strange overall but I enjoyed watching Brown play the position, it was very interesting to see a runner with as big of a frame as Brown.

His intermediate passing wasn't great, but he was capable of making every throw on the field and was a major threat as a runner. He was a solid QB for us.

Ultimately, disappointing offensive and defensive line play this season and injuries derailed our season.

We have been spoiled with great quarterback play at Oregon, with Mariota and Herbert in particular setting unreasonable expectations.

Off the top of my head Brown is better than several recent Oregon QBs in recent memory

Shough
Prukop
Lockie
Burmeister
Bennett
Kempt
Roper
Harper

If we had a better defense this season, I think Brown might be held in a regard similar to Masoli and Thomas.

Shough-yes
Prukop- not even close I’d take Dakota all day everyday.
Lockie- NOT A STARTER
BB-AGAIN A BACKUP
In fact most of this list is really backups that only played because of injuries. So Brown is better than one actual starter.

Check Prukop's statistics. He was good. Shough suffered from MC's quarterbackitis.
