Quack Fix: Duck baseball gets back on track, Altman lands second commitment

in Morning Quack Fix
Email
PrintI saw Iron Man 2 last night, and for some strange reason, I was reminded of our old pal Mandrake. Random? Absolutely. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- The No. 22-ranked Oregon baseball team tried to shake off a 4-game losing streak yesterday, and did so convincingly, knocking off No. 19 San Diego, 13-4. Catcher Eddie Rodriguez led the Ducks with a near-cycle performance at the plate. Oregon resumes play Friday with a three-game home stand against East Tennessee State.
- Dana Altman got his second commitment as the Oregon men's basketball coach yesterday when junior college transfer Tyrone Nared signed a letter of intent. The 6'8" combo forward from New York joins point guard Johnathan Loyd, who committed to Altman and the Ducks a week ago.
- SportingNews writers Dave Curtis and Matt Hayes each ranked the Pac-10's quarterbacks, and both listed Nate Costa in their top five. Curtis also listed Darron Thomas at No. 9 on his list. Of course, the real focal point of the article is the Jake Locker/Andrew Luck debate (and, if you ask me, it's not even a debate, since Locker does more with less...surrounding talent, that is).
- After golf cart-gate came to an end with the three Oregon State players getting community service for their part in the March joyride hilarity in Corvallis yesterday, ESPN.com's Ted Miller weighs in on...why Oregon's rap sheet is higher profile? Although I'd certainly consider myself a Ted Miller fan, I'm not exactly a fan of this piece. Granted the howls from us Quack Addicts, as well as a post or two from Oregon Live's Bob Rickert, about the media bias or hypocrisy have been loud and clear, and despite the fact that I agree Oregon's rap sheet is higher-profile, I don't think turning the attention away from the Beavers' offseason missteps is productive in making that point. I think it's probably a topic better served in a mailbag.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.

Glad to see baseball is back on track
Just to stir some conversation, heres my top 10 Pac-10 quarterbacks:
1) Locker- He’s good but based on what I have seen he is not a #1 overall pick
2) Luck- Absurd accuracy. I still have nightmares of the Oregon game
3) Foles- Mainly because there arent really any other proven QBs in the Pac-10. But the Holiday Bowl performance was very shaky.
4) Barkley- Hes got talent. He just needs the experience. I don’t see any reason why he can’t be the next Leinart, Palmer, or Sanchez.
5) Riley- Tough call but hes not that bad. The game experience gives him the edge of Costa and company.
6) Costa- Solid player. Won’t make the huge plays but hopefully will be constantly good
7) Mustain- Hard to judge him but I see Mustain as a solid QB that can be a game changer.
8) Katz- Good arm but he needs some experience to move up in the rankings
9) Prince- Its not easy doing anything in the UCLA offense but I think he will have somewhat of a breakout year.
10) Thomas- Pure athletic specimen. Just needs some experience to get some confidence and composure when he is passing.
11) Arizona State QB. Whoever that will be
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
Luck is definitely better.
When you look at the stats Licker has a higher pct passing, total yards, TD and yards per game. Luck has a higher Yards/Att, way lower Int, and higher rating… and is only a freshman.
I think Licker was called upon to do more for his team, while Luck was asked to manage the game more, yet he threw for only 225 yards less than Licker on 113 less attempts. Plus, Luck knows how to win and Licker hasn’t proven that he can rise up to the challenge in a big game (0 bowl games, 1 real signature win over a middle of the Pac team at home in 3 years of starting).
I know our friendly neighbors to the north want to gush all over their guy for really having accomplished nothing to date, but I’m not yet sold on the fact that a) he’s going to lead your team in anything other then undeserved PR or b) he’s a NFL starting QB.
Luck’s got three more years to grow and learn and if I’m selecting in the draft, or even starting a college football team, I’ll take Luck 10 times out of 10.

You convinced me
I would much rather go against Locker than Luck. I don’t see why all the “experts” and scouts are so high on Locker. He doesn’t have the arm for the NFL
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
Luck wasn’t called on to manage games. He was called upon to throw the ball deep. He threw the ball deep fare more than anyone in college. The Stanford offense was basically chuck it long, and let Gerhart run wild. It’s almost as if Jim Plunkett is playing for Stanford again. Game manager, he wasn’t.
It worked precisely because Stanford had a heavy duty running threat and Luck was able to make the long throws.
I’m not buying Luck until he’s successful as the focal point of the offensive attack, and he’ll get to prove that very very soon.
I’m taking Locker. He has a killer intermediate and short passing game, the ability to run with the ball, and at this point has an adequate deep game. It’s amazing how much he improved under Sarkesian. His 3rd down numbers are absolutely ridiculous.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
As much as I hate to say it, I’m with Jared on the Licker pick. I think there are two factors that are clouding our vision – 1. Luck was absolutely incredible against the Ducks, which, as clear-thinking as most of us are, gives us a somewhat inflated view of him, and 2. Luck had arguably the best RB in college football carrying the ball 30 times a game.
No, Licker hasn’t done much tangible, but he also hasn’t had anything to work with compared to Luck. It’s close, but I would take that bum with the Fuskies.

Maybe game manager wasn’t the right term, but he was called upon to do certain things in that offense and performed well (and it wasn’t really the easiest part of a game plan being that it was throwing long, not like Foles/Canfield who threw a lot of short passes).
You’re right that he hasn’t been asked to win the entire game by himself yet, but you could say the same thing about a lot of QB’s int he Pac (Masoli, Canfield, Barkley even Licker). My point was that what he has been asked to do he’s been better at than what Licker’s been asked to do.
I really don’t think the difference between the two ability wise is that great (Luck has some pretty god wheels for a QB and can make plays with his legs if need be). Luck however has been able to win earlier on in his career and still has 2 more years to perform. I think Licker gets a lot of hype for really not accomplishing anything as of yet. People are just quick to make excuses for Licker’s underwhelming performance and talk about what will be instead of what has been.

You just can’t say that Luck “has been able to win.” He had a Heisman Trophy finalist in his backfield. Luck also blew the Big Game because he threw a dumb interception to lose the game, despite Gerhart’s best efforts.
As far as Locker’s accomplishments, if you’re looking only at the W-L column, he hasn’t accomplished a lot. But if you’re judging his accomplishments based on the effect he’s had on his offense, he’s done far more than Andrew Luck has been able to at this point.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I couldn't agree with Jared more.
Luck is no doubt a talented kid, and at the end of his career, he might end up being the better QB. But this sports-wide obsession with tremendous upside potential is absolutely infuriating. Locker has had hardly anyone as talented as he around him, and is an absolute game-changer. I hate to say I’m defending a Husky, but I’m taking Locker 10 times out of 10 today to quarterback my team. In fact, I’m not sure there’s a kid in the COUNTRY I’d rather have under center entering the 2010 season.
Don’t get me wrong: You can do a helluva lot worse than Luck. But let’s remember Gerhart’s role in that offense. Hell, my grandmother could have thrown for 250 yards/game in that backfield (“course she’s 6-3, 250, and runs a 4.5 40.”).

You’re going to lambast “sports-wide obsession with tremendous upside potential” and then praise Locker who is nothing BUT upside potential? He’s had about the same amount of success (now I’ll admit probably a better overall year) of about one year as Luck has had.
And while I’m more than willing to admit that the assistance of Gearhart helped Luck, Luck’s success was just as helpful to Gearhart. Stanford doesn’t beat Oregon without Luck (or Gearhart). Plus, we saw what a Luck-less Stanford did against Ok in the bowl game… and they still had Gerhart. And yes he was inconsistent in games (Cal, Or St) but remember he was a Freshman and this was his first real game experience. Not too shabby for seeing teams for the first time if you ask me. Unlike Locker who was a Junior and still living on excuses of “his teams sucks” “he had a terrible coach” and “he has lots of potential.”
I’m sorry, I’m not buying into the Locker love yet. Husky or no Husky.

And just to clarify, I'm not saying Locker sucks. Here's my QB rankings
2009 Season:
1. Canfield
2. Locker
3. Luck
4. Foles
2010 Season (who I’d want as QB going into next season)
1. Luck
2. Locker
3. Foles
4. Rest of the Pac 10
Putting produce in your beer is just plain porn.

Luck’s success was just as helpful to Gerhart
This is not true. In 2008, Toby Gerhart had 210 carries for 1136 yards for an average of 5.41 yards per carry. In 2009, he had 343 carries for 1871 yards and averaged 5.45 ypc. Andrew Luck didn’t help Gerhart carry the ball an extra 130 times.
Andrew Luck took an offense that was good, and made it great. Jake Locker has taken an offense that was craptacular, and made it competent. I think that Locker’s accomplishments are more substantial than Luck’s, due to the degree of difficultly. A Stanford team without Luck is still competitive. Washington’s offense is nothing without Locker.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Andrew Luck didn’t help Gerhart carry the ball an extra 130 times
No, Anthony Kimball graduating helped Gerhart carry the ball an extra 130 times (Kimball had 120 carries for 717 yards and 5.98 average in 2008)
Luck made teams have to respect the passing game which teams didn’t have to do in 2008. As a matter of fact the rushing yards for Furd dropped from 08 to 09.
Also, Locker was given a good RB this year in Chris Polk and a number of good receivers and his number STILL weren’t amazing. But once again I’m sure this is due to coaching changes or line problems or the defense or excuse excuse excuse.
Putting produce in your beer is just plain porn.
Addicted to Quack
You’re really gonna compare Polk to Gerhart, and the Washington receiving corp to Whalen and Owusu? And in terms of O-line, there is no comparison whatsoever. Luck was sacked 8 times all year, while Locker was 27 times.
The key to me is that no one gameplanned for Luck. Everyone gameplanned for Locker. And Locker, with little outside help, managed to be very good, and make his team better in the process.
If Luck can carry his team as Locker has done, then I’ll come around, but I’m not yet convinced that will happen.

Barkley can’t be that high on the list until he learns how to not throw interceptions. He threw interceptions in high school, he threw them last year, and everyones made excuses for him. At this point, he’s vastly overrated.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I can understand where you’re coming from, but I think that in terms of talent and potential he’s far above Foles. (Unfortunately) I think that he will figure things out this year and improve his decision making. He was a true freshman last year…

I think folks will be surprised by Katz. He has a good arm, maybe not as accurate as Canfield but he adds something to the Beaver offense that hasn’t really been there the last few years. Mobility.

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
I’ve been excited to see him play significant minutes since we signed him. His arm needs some fine tuning, sure, but you’re right about the mobility. I don’t think Riley will call on him to tuck and run by design but having the option will be weird for Beaver fans. I’ll find a way to adjust though.
Vaz—the probably back-up after Lalich is inevitably booted—is also a dual threat type QB, so we might be entering a new era of more versatile QBs which would be nice. As much as I loved DA and Canfield, it was hell watching the pocket collapse on those immobile dudes.
Why is everyone so high on Mustain?

To attend a UC this year,
All expenses included it costs just a hair over 30 grand. To attend UO out of state, it is about 40 grand a year. I earned enough in scholarships to bring that gap fairly close (the gap is closing every year as well, the UC tuition hike was 30 percent last year), so that is why this Californian is going to UO.

Alum (BA ENG, BA JCOMM 2008)
And just turned them down for law school. Very glad to be accepted, but it’s too soon to commit to another several years in Eugene.
Alum (BS,1973)
Walk-on Track 1969 – Nov 20, 1971 (a Caddyshack experience – best workout in my life, got sick the next week, never ran again)
Getting injured actually helped… ended up with double majors, CIS and Finance.
There were not many computer majors back then.
Saw Jon Lloyd, Nared and another player at the airport Sunday
I saw Jon Lloyd, Tyrone Nared and another player leaving the Eugene airport early Sunday morning, bound for Denver on United. Not sure who the other player was, but both he and Nared were gigantic.
Canzano Can't Handle the Truth
Clown, we live in a state that loves it’s teams, and those teams have to be guarded by coaches with balls. Whose gonna do it? You, Clownzano? Chip has a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You hate the Ducks, and you curse Chip Kelly. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what Chip knows. That Blount’s punch, while tragic, probably didn’t mark the end of the world. And the Ducks’ existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, makes lives happier. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want Chip on that wall, you NEED Chip on that wall. We use words like “Win The Day”, “I don’t deal in hypotheticals”, and “maybe your parents didn’t believe in you”. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. Chip has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very material that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. Chip would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, he suggests you put on some pads, and make a tackle. Either way, Chip doesn’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

How about this instead:
Chip can deal with the bullets and the bombs and the blood…he doesn’t want money, and he doesn’t want medals. What he DOES want, is for Canzano to stand there in that [expletive] white uniform, and with his Harvard mouth, extend Chip some [expletive] courtesy!
Probably still to long lol.

It's pretty obvious.
LaMichael just finds a wormhole, slips through it and emerges at a different position relative to our standard space-time. Nothing too fancy once you break it down.

Maybe 2 tickets would be more like $37.33. But after popcorn and a couple extra Jeremiah Johnson TD’s with extra mustard, it comes to $65.38.

TJ3 has a very intimidating face.
I found an interview with him after the Stanford game.

Wow,
It was a little uncomfortable when TJ3 is staring down the interviewer and the camera as he is basically being asked(told) “You got taken to school by Stanford. Did they even bother teaching you to cover receivers in practice?”.

Where could he ever learn a death-stare from? Hmmmmm…who could teach him how to stare like that?

Football really needs to just do its own thing apart from the other sports. 16 would be horrible for all the other sports. It wouldn’t be so great for football, either, but I’m a snob and love the round robin.
That said, four superconferences could very much happen
I’m very nervous if I’m someone like Baylor or Iowa State right now

Why, Oregon was Baylor or Iowa State 20 years ago. The rise of the conference has a lot to do with their growth ability, and I don’t think those schools are going to out.

Here’s why. Say the Big Ten goes 16. They Take Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Rutgers, and Pitt. SEC is forced to follow suit, picks off Florida State, Clemson, and the Oklahoma schools. ACC raids what’s left of the Big East. Pac 10 picks up CU, Utah, Texas, Texas Tech, TAMU, and Kansas.
Many people think we’ll end up with four superconferences. If we do, you don’t want to be a small big XII or a Big East team right now. Sheer numbers say someone has to get left out

That’s a lot of collusion and forward thinking for an association (NCAA) that is about as back asswards as you can get. I’d love it if it happened, but it’s not going to to. Presidents, traditionalists, media groups and student bodies are never going to let that happen. It’s like Lariviere’s idea. Very smart, forward thinking but never going to happen

I still don’t get whats so great about it
I’d rather see eight 10 team conferences
I think we can all agree the Sun Belt and MAC should just drop to 1-AA
most of the WAC and CUSA as well

I’d rather see 6 14 team leagues where you only play a round robin and the winners go to a tourney, but once again shit like this will never happen

Or is it all smoke and mirrors to force ND to join the Big Ten (or am I giving someone too much credit)
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, SBN's Oregon Ducks blog
It’s all smoke, ND has way more power than just money. You realize they have as much power as an entire conference in college football right now. Why give that up?
I want Canzano to stand there in that [expletive] white uniform, and with his Harvard mouth, extend Chip some [expletive] courtesy! Addicted to Quack
They only lose it if they join a conference. It won’t happen until they are FORCED to. and since the Big Ten is asking, they aren’t being forced to
I want Canzano to stand there in that [expletive] white uniform, and with his Harvard mouth, extend Chip some [expletive] courtesy! Addicted to Quack
Well, the argument goes that the four superconferences tell the NCAA to fuck off and do their own thing. That would also mean telling ND to fuck off. Not sure how much stock I put in it, but its an idea thats out there……..
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, SBN's Oregon Ducks blog
Way out there, way way way out there
You don’t get 4 super conferences without the NCAA and you sure as hell don’t get that without ND throwing a shit fit to the NCAA which means it won’t happen. Too much collusion to actually happen for a bunch of stuffy old white university presidents.

But if people think it will make money, it will be seriously considered
--Dave

Fuck that!!! University of Chicago did a study on how much money schools are giving up by NOT having a college football playoff and it was in the 100 million range per year… and that was 10 years ago. The presidents and AD’s are a bunch of dumbasses and have no idea how to make money. They know how to run a higher ed, but not make money

You want to hear something gross. So I had mice in my garage and they got behind the wall of my kitchen so I set out some poison and traps and ended up killing them. Unfortunately, now one of them is dying in the wall behind my kitchen and FUCKING stinks!!
Man I wish I didn’t own a house, so I could call my landlord and complain, instead it’s on me to fix… damnit

I spit on your wife comment
I am happy when college football season starts. And when I am on vacation. And when I go on vacation to go to college football games…Nirvana.
Also, get a cat for crying out loud.
That’s the thing. I have a cat, only she’s too fat dumb and happy with her own food to feel like going out and hunting for some. My buddy said I should not feed her for 3 days and then she’ll go hunting for the mice. Tough love kind of thing.
Oh and my wife is happy when it’s college football season too.
