Why Jake Locker Staying will Help Him and the Huskies

One more year at the University of Washington for Quarterback Jake Locker.
Locker who threw for 2,800 yards, 21touchdowns and 11interceptions while completing 58.4% of his passes in 2009 felt he needed another year of seasoning. That seasoning hopefully will help him and the program grow into a Pac-10 power house in 2010. In 2010 the Huskies will have to face some very tough road games at BYU, Arizona, California, Oregon, and USC. Nebraska will visit the Huskies in 2010 bringing there big red machine fan base that travels well.

Locker will provide not only senior leadership but also play-making skills that have NFL scouts drooling. Locker must work on not throwing red-zone interceptions in 2010. More consistent throws from Jake Locker are what the NFL scouts and Huskies Coach Sark want to see more of (at least half of Lockers 2009 interceptions where in the red-zone).

If the Seahawks have another bad year in 2010, say 4 and 12, I would not be surprised if Jake Locker was on their radar screen in the April 2010 draft.
