Interesting comment from Locker on ESPN.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker may be the odds-on favorite to be the first player selected in the 2011 NFL draft. But in the course of discussing playing both quarterback and safety at Ferndale (Wash.) High, Locker told me, “If I had it to do over again, I’d play defense. I like the contact. You can use your adrenaline. On offense, you have to control it.”

We've all heard the "Locker to safety" stuff for years. But when you look at how big Jake is as a QB, the fact of the matter is that if he would've come here to play defense, he'd probably be 240 and one helluva middle linebacker right now.

Don't blame me, you started it . . .
Jake could play offense or defense in the NFL, unlike Masoli who will be preoccupied in a jail somewhere.

Touche' Lear!
I like your post better than mine. Well maybe Masoli can help distribute towels or something.

Here's hoping he doesn't fumble . . . .

Totally Agree Sundodger...
…the other thing that people seem to fail to realize is the arm strength Locker has. He has a serious gun! That’s something the NFL salivates after.

I think the comment was implying that he will throw a lot of interceptions.
Hence him getting a chance to play defense, of his own passes.
Jake will take his lumps as all Rookies do.
OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!
I think we all know that his chances to start as a Rookie are very high.
OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!
I fucking go to UW right now, and I have as big a man crush on Jakey as anyone.
But that’s not trolling. The dude has a point. Locker has about three games worth of experience playing SS (FS?) and that is nowhere NEAR enough for any sort of proficiency in the pros.
Q, it could be construed as trolling, but it was actually a little good natured dig (as B Money says). If I was actually trolling I would have followed it up or responded to others that called me out on it to try and flame this thread. I didn’t. I was just joking around, no harm intended.

I'm surprised so many people took you seriously.
That seemed like a pretty obvious joke.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get punched in the arm for saying it.

of course I should
I’m making a dig on a rivals blog… as Gekko would say, “I should be flogged for doing it”
It’s all in fun though… so flog away.

Maybe it's just me
but it looks like most people didn’t take it seriously and gave fun replies.

Locker...

The money is at QB
Along with the prestige and the endorsement contracts. Not too many safeties get that stuff unless you are Troy Palomalu or Ronnie Lott. Locker knows what he is doing.
All I saw was purple
Jake on with Mitch this morning
Sounds like he backed off a little bit from that statement, saying while he enjoys hitting, he wouldn’t change anything.
