I don't know why people are down on the guy, claiming he doesn't do XXX or can't do YYY, when all we saw were mop-up snaps. The practice notes often say he has made a lot of progress. Spring game, he'll have a few weeks with the ones, running the ones, so we can start to see what he can do.

He saw more action than just mop-up duty.

He came in against Ohio State when Mariota had to sit out a play and he also came in against Texas when Marcus had his helmet ripped off.

In both of those instances he looked completely out of his element.
I think most QBs would look a bit lost coming in during the middle of a drive for only a play or two without notice.

I heard from someone very close to the situation that Lockie is not a Pac-12 caliber starter. He's a great guy and can be a valuable backup, but that's it.

Last time we had a QB battle we had to recover from losing DT, I love DT and all, but losing Mariota is quite a bit bigger than losing DT. I think we can confidently say we'll most definitely have a downgrade at QB, and that's not a shot at those who will be in the competition, but Mariota is a once in a lifetime QB/person. We will never have another player like him again.

MM was/is and always will be a great duck. Not my favorite LMJ and Joey my top two. But to say that Oregon will never have another like MM? Another hawaiin qb? A qb that is that fast? What exactly do you mean? I know a lot of peeps have a man crush on MM but don't sell the coaches short. They know talent and will get it. They found MM didn't they? JMO of course. And I know MM had a much higher skill set than DT but end of the year results....both led Oregon to big bowl game wins and a #2 ranking. DT did beat Stanford more tho :lol:

I'm arrogant as F, we're going to have a QB who will eclipse what Mariota did!

We will never have another QB that will be Oregon's first ever Heisman winner, and it goes beyond that. He represented the university so well, and college football as well. You hear ESPN commentators like Mack Brown say it, he was a true role model and a true man of integrity. What makes MM so great goes beyond what he did on the field, and we've had good guys, but I can't think of another player Oregon has had that has had that high combination of talent and integrity. Maybe there will be better players in the future, I hope so, but none of them will be Marcus Mariota. The joy he brought to the duck nation is unmatched by any other Oregon player ever.

Why do we always do the spring game during NFL draft weekend?

Thankfully, Saturday is now usually rounds 4-7...so not as hard to miss.
