I'm sure this will piss off Booze and Bama but fuck them, they're fucking homers so their opinion doesn't count. What the fuck is Jake Locker thinking returning for his senior at UW? Is he fucking stupid?
Honestly, I do think it's great that he's coming back for one more season, to try to get UW to a bowl game. It's an honorable thing to do and the students and alumni will be thrilled, but is it a smart decision? It's not like UW is contending for a national championship next year. Didn't Locker see what happened to Sam Bradford this year? Hell, even BoozeRob pointed out that once Bradford got hurt it was pretty much a given that Locker would be entering the draft. Most "experts" had Locker pegged as the top quarterback, and possibly the top pick, in the draft. That's fucking HUGE money, especially when you factor in that next year there will most likely be a rookie pay scale so the days of $40 million signing bonuses will be long fucking gone.
It would be one thing if UW were going to be contending for a national championship, but they're not. They MIGHT have a chance to win the Pac-10, but otherwise they're just playing for some random bowl, and to me, that isn't worth risking millions of dollars. Just know that if Locker gets hurt at some point next year, he's definitely making Dorn of the Week.
