However, in today's podcast you were discussing the Heisman candidates and you indicated that Terrelle Pryor was the only dual-threat QB in the pool. This is not true. I would suggest looking deeper into why so many people are expecting Jake Locker to be the # 1 pick in next years draft. As a RS Freshman he rushed for 986 yds, while throwing for 2062 yds. He was injured for the season in game 4 of his Soph season, and then last year he only rushed for 388 yds, while learning a new offense. Even though he only rushed for 388 yds last season, I would never call him a drop back passer by nature. Until Coach Sark came on board at UW, he was playing in wing-t or spread option offense his whole life. So he is actually more of natural running QB, than passing QB. PS...Rivals recently rated UW has havving the # 1 trio of skill players in America, but they've only won 5 games in 2 years. The number of wins does not necessarily always reflect the caliber of talent on the team. I just started listening to your show, and I really like the format.
