One the field the only thing this guy has led his team too was a lot of losses.

That's not even close to logical my friend.

0-12 to 5-7 is huge and improvement, 5-7 to 7-5 is an improvement.

Over 2 years 0-12 to 7-5 and a bowl game victory is a huge improvement.

If you can't see or accept that you're simply being dishonest.

Win % is a team stats but its clear that he helped Washington improve.

I don't call one winning season changing a program around. Even the season he did have a winning record they were only 7-6. That's not impressive by any stretch of the imagination.

Only to you my friend only to you.

If you want to see a guy who turned a program around you need to take a look at Colin Kaepernick. He led his team to a 13-1 season. That's what you call true leadership.

Wait taking an 8-5 team to 13-1 is turning a program around? Really? 2009 7-6

He has never put together back to back winning seasons.

You're correct.

Did you actually watch Jake Locker play or did you just watch his highlights?

Not that it would matter to you but I've watched a bunch of Washington games and have even charted a game (every pass) and its posted somewhere in this forum.

This guy does not pass the ball well on a consistent basis. In the pocket (where all qbs pass the ball most of the time) he's not accurate. Through out his career you can point to only a couple of games where he actually played the qb position well. Most of the games he's played he misses open receivers or he panics and run when he doesn't have too. His low completion percentage is a direct result of how poorly his passed the football last season. Anyone who has actual watched Locker over the years know what I'm saying is true.

If you've watched Washington play have you actually noticed the team the OL? The WRs?

I think you're problem is you have a hard time separating the QB from their team when it comes to evaluation.

I mention the comparison between Locker and Gabbert's stats if Locker's stats are terrible playing for a far worse team what are Gabbert's stats?
-Which btw is moot point because scouting is different from looking at stats.

The idea that Locker isn't accurate at all from the pocket simply isn't true even from scouts that don't like him.

They point to Locker being inconsistent and/or uncomfortable in the pocket.

But, the people teams/scouts that like Locker as prospect likely see a QB that isn't randomly inconsistent or uncomfortable in the pocket but a QB who like any QB is gonna have decreased accuracy and comfort due to the level of pass protection:

I understand why some scouts like Jake Locker.

No, I don't believe you do.
