Brett Declares!

[alyssa]

I don't want him to leave now. I hope he does well.
OK CPL.

 

[NowherePoke]

Just wanted to point out that SDPokeFan posting 20 times doesn't mean there are 20 posters with that opinion. It's just one and that one has demonstrated startling ignorance of UW Football in the past, so please ignore. Stop swinging at imaginary bogeymen guys.

In terms of Smith, good luck. I am sure he made the right call.

In terms of UW football. We will suck next year a little harder than we would have, but as we learned this past year, even Smith can't be the savior of this crater of a program created by Burman/DC. No realistic hope on the Horizon from my perspective and one more year of #16 in the Brown and Gold would not have changed that in the big picture.

Brett will most likely be drafted late but I don't see him as ever starting a game. Maybe he survives longer than 2-3 years as a back up. With injuries, u never know. He could just as easy come in and light it up

Troll hard, SDPokeFan. Troll hard.

Sigh. If it's a differing opinion it's trolling. I forgot.

Let's see. You've called Brett Smith a "fool," as if someone who is getting whatever monetary value you want to put on a football scholarship to UW would be foolish to pursue financial security for life in a very dangerous profession. You've called him a "quitter" while saying that you "hope he doesn't get drafted and ends up third string in the AFL" as if those statements are evidence of anything other than your own vindictiveness and selfishness. You've questioned whether he's accomplished anything, as if the UW record book isn't littered with his name and as if he's been saddled with anything better than a mediocre team and coaching staff. You've accused him of being more interested in his numbers than winning, as if he didn't choke back tears in interviews after tough losses this season. You've repeatedly claimed he's going to be an "in drafted" free agent, as if someone as intelligent as Brett would declare for the NFL if the draft advisory board told him he wouldn't even get picked.

It's one thing to be of the opinion that he's making a poor career choice. It's quite another to wish that he is making a poor career choice, which you apparently do as if he owes you fucking anything. And it is yet another thing to act as if his accomplishments on the field are anything less than outstanding in the annals of Poke football. And it is still yet another thing entirely to question his character as if that guy didn't lay it all on the line every time out and take losses harder than I have maybe ever seen an athlete take them publicly.

The opinion that he's making a bad decision from a career standpoint is defensible, though not one I hold. The rest of it you can shove right up your ass, you fucking crybaby.

He does owe me and Wyoming one win against a quality opponent. Something he never delivered. He's the Matt Stafford of college football. Or as I call him, Stat Padford.

Predictions: Smith goes in fourth of fifth round to Denver. Thompson starts, barely, as QB next year but does not end as such. That's what my cloudy crystal ball shows.

Who would come in, if Thompson is not the guy? Fort? Do we have any other QBs?

The only other QB to play this year was Thorton. He may be in the mix.

Oh yeah, I forgot about him.

 

[WYOBISONMAN]

Smith is a decent QB, had some great games, but he isn't the second coming of Christ. He is equiped for a different offense than Bohl and Vigen will implement. Bohl is a great recruiter and will do very well in replacing Smith. It may take a season to see it start to really show, but WYO will be fine.

And just why the fuck does he owe you a goddamn thing?

 

[BeaverPoke]

SDPokeFan, how in the FUCK does Brett owe you anything? Holy shit you are a pathetic man. I feel really bad for you now, showing what kind of loser you really are.

And for those of you wondering if Thorton is going to be the guy...umm no.
Thompson is going to be the QB.
He will start game 1 as QB and he will end the season as QB. I have no idea why you guys would believe someone's "crystal ball" prediction when that person is constantly negative about the program as well.
Thompson is the QB now, and it will be that way until he goes to the NFL.
Remember, Thompson is bigger, stronger armed, and faster than Brett.
He tore it up in Spring Ball and Fall Camp.
Yes, his 1 start against AFA as a true freshman wasn't all that great, but let's not forget, he was the 3rd string QB entering the season.
Thompson has learned so much in the past 2 years since his AFA game.
Get ready for some boot leg rollouts, runs and passes!

 

[bladerunnr]

Happy for Brett. I am sure this wasn't an easy decision but I think it's the right one for both sides. This gives us the fresh start we need with Jason Thompson leading the way. I think he will be a perfect fit for Bohl's style.

It may or may not be a good decision for Smith. But it is a terrible one for Wyo.. Bohl flew up to see him for a reason. Qb's like Smith don't come around very often. However, if we become a ball control, run first type of offense, maybe the qb position won't be as important as it was under DC.

Bingo. He won't be able to put up meaningless stats against crappy teams. That's why he is leaving.

Very well put! SDPokeFan = Stupid Douche Poke Fan (who can't even spell Poke)....came on here and called Brett names and personally challenged Brett's honesty and integrity for his decision to turn pro at this point in his career.....then this Stupid Douche gets all upset when people call him names in return and then tries to HIDE behind "it's only a difference of opinion" argument....talk about a stupid gutless hypocrite...that is SD. To end it all this arrogant douche says that Brett "owes" him....Brett doesn't owe Stupid Douche a thing. Evidently Stupid Douche doesn't understand that there are a lot of things that go into wins and loses besides the QB or else he wouldn't say that Brett owes him a win.

I have never seen a more personally courageous young man to play QB at Wyoming than Brett Smith, and every minute that Brett was on the field he gave it his all because he is that type of competitor and SDPokeFan aka Stupid Douche Poke Fan question this. The best thing that you can do SD is leave.

Dude, chill. We just mentioned Thorton as in the mix. Nothing more.

Since most coaches transition accordingly to what players they have coming in, and since Brett decided to leave, I think we will see a major change in our offense next year. That also being said, I don't think we even have a 2,000 yard passer next year. Thompson will get the majority of snaps, but, we will probably be close to a 60/40 in rush to pass, especially with Wick and company in the backfield. Thompson I can see passing anywhere from 1,600 yards to right to 2,000 yards.

Get ready for change. Granted we may get a 1,000 yard rusher again.

Should get a 1000 yard rusher, wick was damn close this year and i agree with you that we will absolutely be run first now...i could see wick getting around 1200, if may progressed near the same way he couks be around 600-80; more. That is, if our line does anything

Lots of QBs out there with this draft though. Johny dbag will probably declare. The kid from UCF is going. Might be tough to go in the first day

 

[Dutchnation]

Ok so I am not suprised. I'm disappointed that coach Bohl won't have him as a transition qb. But I'm also not that worried. We have good qbs in Thompson and Fort.

 

[OrediggerPoke]

I have appreciated everything Brett Smith has done for this program. In the history of Pokes players, he has been my 2nd favorite to watch behind Marcus Harris. Good luck in the NFL Mr. Smith, I will certainly be there to watch you play in Mile High Stadium some day.
