Player Development
One of the biggest complaints about the Mario Cristobal era with Oregon was the fact that there didn’t seem to be much player development, especially at the quarterback position. Look no further than the fact that Ty Thompson didn’t play any snaps near the end of the year, even when it was easy to see that it would only benefit the Ducks.
Dillingham is said to be a great player developer, with an emphasis at the QB position. He has helped a number of players develop in the offense and grow into NFL-level talents. Bringing him to the Ducks will likely bring a chance to get Thompson into the offense and grow the scheme around him.
