Anthony Brown's quarterback play in 2022 left Duck fans yearning for the days of past successful signal callers like Marcus Mariota, Darron Thomas, and Justin Herbert. Now with Auburn transfer Bo Nix in line to be the starter, the position seems to bring more questions than answers to the minds of Oregon fans as the Ducks look to return to the Pac-12 Championship game in 2022 in Las Vegas. The good news is at the outset, Bo Nix is set up for success this year with the array of weapons and O-line play he should have surrounding him.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin breaks down where Bo Nix should be statistically by the end of the season (assuming he stays healthy). Though his completion percentage was solid (64%), Brown threw for just over 200 yards per game--a number Nix needs to be able to improve upon, regardless of the offensive philosophy. The weapons and OL talent are sufficient to expect him to be able to surpass Brown's stats and overall execution of the offense from last season.

Sticking with the quarterbacks, one listener asks a question about Ty Thompson and his future at Oregon. With 5-star QB Dante Moore coming in the class of 2023, the competition going into next season could be fierce with 4-star QB Jay Butterfield also in the mix. Will Ty Thompson stick around at Oregon long enough to be a part of that potential 3-way battle?
