After today's game, he really should think about another year. He looked very pedestrian. And I am not the only one who thinks so.

"You remember Jake Locker, formerly known as the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NFL draft? He sure looked like a guy who could use another year at the college level Saturday. Locker made several poor throws and decisions, perhaps the most puzzling his post-game statement that UW’s running game played “as well as we have all year long.”

Shit yeah he needs to stay with the Huskies on his last year. He'll probably be the next Ryan Leaf if he goes to the NFL in next years draft. Hope he gets his head ouf of his ass and does the right thing, that being to stay with the Huskies another season after this one. And perhaps Nick will be able to learn from him more. Hopefully Nick follows his fathers footsteps and becomes a great QB, starting with the Huskies!

SEATTLE (AP)—Washington coach Steve Sarkisian says he’s “very optimistic” that star quarterback Jake Locker will return to the Huskies for his senior season rather than enter the NFL draft.

Sarkisian made the remark Tuesday, one day after he met with Locker to discuss his draft prospects. Asked why he was optimistic, Sarkisian said only, “That’s just the way I am.”

The coach says Locker submitted a request to the NFL for evaluation of his draft status, but such a move is customary.

The deadline for players to enter the draft is Jan. 15.

he'd be an idiot to leave.He's not yet capable of getting through his progressions,and still is learning to read defenses,and that would doom him being a backup who's not getting the reps to progress.I'm 80% sure he'll stay,the only thing looming is the salary cap issue

And even with that said, he has the baseball money, and his family is far from poor.

I would hate to see him go in, take the money, and fail 3 years later and end up like Leaf. Heck, maybe they can move him to S if need be!
