May 19May 19 Administrator No. That birdie was a FishDuck photographer, (who I unfortunately won't be using anymore after 14 years and the site sale...) who was shooting an event this last weekend, and after moving to a new spot--found himself standing next Marcus Mariota, who was visiting. They got to talking, and it was interesting as this photographer was shooting pictures during the 2012-2014 time that Marcus was here....and Mariota remembered him on the sideline back then.Anyhoo, the conversation moved to the current team, and this photographer expressed some concern about whether Dante Moore can make the next jump in his QB development. After he was done he asked Marcus how he felt about the ability of Moore, and whether he has topped out?Mariota told him that he felt that "Moore has all the tools, mentally and physically, but only one year is not enough to develop a quarterback. With more experience this next year--you will see that next step slowly take place."Good! If anyone would know--Marcus would. As we know, Dante has played pretty well in 90% of our games, but in the big ones--the inexperience got in the way. He has been in a ton of big games, and this next year--will be better in them.The FD photographer also asked...based on the Spring Game....who did Marcus think would end up as the No. 2 quarterback at Oregon this fall?"Dylan Raiola."
