Not a great statement about their development skills, and I expect them to get negatively recruited hard in the future.

Given how the QBs in their pipeline performed when Adams was hurt, this doesn't surprise me. But they won't be able to sustain their current level of success doing this season after season.

Whatever graduate school Adams was enrolled in probably didn't figure his math class grades into their admissions decision.  Prukop is safe.

Now that Frost has flown the coop, the Ducks probably don't want a new OC and an inexperienced QB at the same time. Since their success is predicated on putting so many points on the board that it doesn't matter if their defense is a little shaky, that might be a good move.

I heard Oregon has upped its academic standards and gone to Common Core

A 157.7 PER and 63% completion percentage--and a less than 3-1 TD int ratio--this isn't the next Vernon Adams.

You got me curious, so here's his stats compared with Adams's.

Looking at their RS junior seasons on their FCS teams, Prukop takes fewer sacks, but runs more. Completion percentage during the years is lower for Prukop, but not a lot. YPA is lower, TD percentage lower (9.2 vs 8.1), INT percentage higher (2.1 vs 2.9). Adams also had a much better sophomore year than Prukop, maybe because Adams played his freshman year.

It's hard to tell without watching them, but from the stats it seems like Prukop is more the Darron Thomas mold, where he makes one read then takes off if it's not open, whereas Adams is more of a poor man's Mariota, using athleticism to keep the play alive and trying to throw downfield, only running if no one's open. The latter is a lot more worrying for us, so hopefully I'm right.

Adams really played remarkably well this year, especially when he got healthy and better integrated into the Oregon offense over the latter part of the season. I wouldn't describe him as a poor man's Mariota, maybe an upper-middle class man's Mariota. 

They didn't quite play the same role, and in fact I would say Adams somewhere in between the styles of Darron Thomas and Mariota.

Adams leads the entire country in PER this year at 179.6.
This is only just behind Mariota last year at 181.8.

Adams passing stats in 2015 are remarkably similar to Mariota's in 2014, though Adams only played in 9 games (really 8). So attempts per game, yards per game, all close.

Adams runs a lot less than Mariota, especially once he started fitting in. He had 94 yards in his first game vs Eastern Washington, then after that averaged 7.6 yds per game. Mariota rushed for 700-800 yards every season at Oregon.

Thomas didn't run so much either, except against us in 2010. He was a scrambler more than a runner - like Adams. Thomas seems to have much more of a reputation of a runner than he really was - perhaps because he was generally athletic and looked a little funny throwing the ball. Thomas rushed for a reasonably healthy 486 yards in 2010 (117 vs us), only 206 yards in 2011. He didn't pass as much as Mariota or Adams, as Oregon relied heavily on LaMichael James back then. But his passer rating was a respectable 158.7 and he did pass for 212 yds/game.

Didn't Stanford have a footballer named Prukop in the 80s?  If so, any relation?
