Fort is 6'4 215lbs. You don't see many QBs straight out of high school with that size period. That said, Thompson is 6'2 220lbs. Also a good size for a QB. When I watched him against Air Force, he made a lot of good reads, but he lacked finesse and touch on his throws, particularly on the short throws. If he can learn to control his throws even half as well as Brett did, he'll be a very dangerous QB to contend with.
Brett was probably the Best QB we'll ever see at UW ever, I was here during the Coronzos, Josh Wallwork years and they were pretty good as well. ACS was exciting to watch and coulda be special as well. I see nothing but great things upcoming with Thompson and we'll be fine

I'm very excited to see Thompson as I think he holds many of the skills/traits to be a great QB here and be a NFL QB. We are very lucky to have a QB the caliber of Thompson waiting in the wings.
Will he throw for as many yards as Smith? Not likely but much of that has to do with the style of offense we will run. We will be a much more balanced offense with a lot more running. I think Thompson fits perfectly for this new offense and I'm very excited about that!

Brett was a stud, maybe the best we will ever see at UW.
But.... I do like what I saw in the rain against AFA 2 years ago. Jason played really well considering the situation. I like that he has already started a game 2 yrs ago and that DC redshirted him this last year. JT may end up being a UW legend as well if the team wins a lot of games (which given our history, winning just 8 games a year for the next 3 yrs would make him a UW QB legend).
