... the Oregon Ducks in 2008 as a four-star quarterback out of Aldhine High School. Many Duck fans have compared the 6'3", 205 pound sophomore to the beloved Dennis Dixon, who was a Heisman Trophy favorite in 2007 before a season-ending injury.

So, if this is the case, why are Duck fans and so-called analysts doubting the chances of the Ducks reaching the Rose Bowl again without Jeremiah Masoli?

Yes, Masoli knew the offense like it was the back of his hand, and his uncanny ability to create something out of nothing was a cornerstone of the Duck's 2009 season, but who's to say that the Ducks can't succeed with a guy who is a prototypical quarterback?
