Speculation on Dylan’s Future

I just don't get dogpiling on Raiola. From what I saw he was a great teammate and he performed well despite his cement shoes and being a sack machine. Even after getting hurt he appeared to be a good teammate. Fans were excited for a change for a bit, and then he didn't immediately checkout and enter the portal. Obviously I didn't have to put up with any of the behind the scenes total bs from his Dad that Coach Rhule did.

I think a lot of it is his father. The Mahomes Jr schtick didn't do it for me and I'm a huge Mahomes fan. Plus, just seemed like some funny business as he entered the portal.

I see this as a spectacularly poor for for Oregon. For as long as I can remember, they have had quick and mobile QBs who can get rid of the ball quickly. To make this work, it seems like they will have to completely overhaul their offense.

He will have to tatoo the Nike Swish everywhere and he will have to give up Adidas.

Right? I'm not sure, but they may have to go back to the days of Dan Fouts or maybe Akili Smith to find such an immobile QB. I wouldn't overhaul my offense that's for sure lol... history doesn't favor a long shelf life for him there. I figured he would be heading to Indiana or Miami, Oregon never entered my mind.

Agreed. I kept hearing Oregon but couldn't fathom that Lanning would want an immobile QB like DR.

This…….mostly.

I have little doubt that keeping Don, recruiting Dayton, going with a scheme that neither MR or DH were comfortable with, at least in part, to appease either Dylan, or more likely Dom, was worth a more amicable departure than what it appeared to be.

At this point onward and forward, and may the lessons learned not be forgotten.
 
I was curious, I looked up Moore’s rushing stats. For his career, three seasons he has 119 rushing attempts for 78 yds. In 2025 he was 73 attempts for 156 yds for 2.1 ave.

Dylan for career rushing is 96 attempts for - (negative) 152 yds.

Summation: While Moore is not exactly a running threat, he does enjoy a better surrounding cast, less sacks, he also is so much better in terms of avoiding sacks by better pocket presence. In 2025, Moore was sacked only 7 times in 12 games. Credit to his O-Line, but also his ability to avoid sacks.

Dylan was sacked 27 times in 9 games in 2025. Credit to the inability of his O-Line and his concrete feet and lack of being able to feel the rush.

Both QB’s are at 70% completions. Dylan might have the edge over Moore because he was able to do this with less talented O-Line.

Overall, Dylan should be expected to do better at Oregon. He will enjoy better protection, even have better passing stats, however he will still be sacked because of his pocket presence, but not at the numbers he had at Nebraska. Money wise and career wise, it’s a good move for Dylan.

My question is was Raiola this immobile in HS or was this a result of lack of development at DONU? If he was immobile in HS, what were the 'effing Ducks thinking? And what was Rhule thinking? Sorry, that's two questions.
 
I don't dislike DR - but wishing he gets a bit of a comeuppance in leaving Nebraska - I believe fans are justified. Be great if he has a big senior year (or Oregon or wherever) and a shot at the NFL - but short term a little reality check would be good for him IMHO.

Both good questions tho. And the answers might be of importance to us going forward.
