The Oregon QB situation has a smell of desperation to me.

Lockie was a three star recruit who didn't get rave reviews in high school. From what I can see, he had two offers - one from San Diego State, and the other from Oregon. We don't know much about his development since he joined the Ducks, as he hasn't played much. In any case, the Oregon staff were certainly open to recruiting a graduate transfer, who turned out to be Vernon Adams. Query how much confidence the Oregon staff has in Lockie and their other QBs given their pursuit of Adams.

The hope may have been that Adams was going to be the second coming of Russell Wilson of sorts.  But Adams didn't start doing anything with the team until last night. It strikes me as fantastical that he could be ready to play well when they face Michigan State on the road in the second week of the season. I also wonder if he'll be ready for when they play Utah in the fourth week of the season.

In addition to playing us at Stanford, the Ducks also play ASU in Tempe and USC at home this year. It wouldn't surprise me terribly if the Ducks go 8-4 this year.
