Far more players to choose from at every position. But hey, it's all good. And I have no new original topics to suggest either so...on with the show. I've done an All-Callahan team as well in the past. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Where’s Tommy Armstrong? 21 starts Passing: 252/476 (53%), 3661 yards, 31 TDs, 20 Ints Rushing: 212 attempts, 907 yards (4.2 yards/carry), 8 TDs Quote Link to comment
Crazyhole Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Martinez and it's not even close. Just think about how good he could have been if we actually had a qb coach during his years. Seriously, did he just work with beck during practice? Quote Link to comment

(I know it's the off-season, but can we just let anything relating to two coaches ago, die?) If he hadn't started it, I would have. It's a fun topic, and one that we can discuss while remaining positive about the team - something this board needs after decades of (often well earned) negativity. Why not, after the bullets stop flying and the anger over YET ANOTHER four or more loss season ends, reminisce a little and speak kindly about former players. Martinez, especially, got so much grief on this board. Again, yes a lot of it was earned, but he was a special player and we were lucky to have him here. I don't see anything wrong with going back and essentially patting these players on the back. 2 Quote Link to comment

One of the dumbest decisions in Nebraska OC history. Never thought of that - so true. It is kind of like this year - OU at the end of the game wt Georgia - they take the ball out of the hands of their all everything QB and do running plays. Sometimes coaches try to get 'too smart'. Just ride the horse that got you there and 9 our of 10x you will be OK. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) If we talk about an all "Post Solich" team - I would rank it this way 1. A healthy TM - I think his injuries also affected his passing which seem to get worse in later years (maybe I'm putting too much on that OK State game - stats may prove differently). I think a healthy TM would have surpassed Crouch in reputation and we know Crouch probably had better players around him. Can you imagine TM in Osborne's offense?? If he got the option down, it would have been deadly. Him and Burkhead doing the option - wow - think of the possibilities. 2. Zac Taylor - He is still one of my favorite QBs of all time - he was tough, a true coach on the field and he made up for BC's inadequacies as a HC. Without Zac I think we have 4 losing seasons under BC. 3. Ganz - Very much like Zac, tough, what he lacked in talent (not saying he was without talent but I think Zac was overall a better qb and had more talent or QB IQ), he made up with determination, desire and leadership. He should have been a 2 year starter and if BC had half a defense in 2007, wt Ganz as full time QB, BC may have been around longer - good or bad. 4. Armstrong - too bad he didn't have more help and often times plays weren't called using his strengths. The 'QB whisperer' didn't seem to help him much. I think Armstrong would have been great in Osborne's offense --Great runner and adequate enough passer (even if each pass was an adventure) 5. All others Edited January 11, 2018 by TGHusker 2 Quote Link to comment

I am guilty of doing that with JL too! Ha! I guess it happens and we all do it. Wait about 5 years...there will be "Should T-Mart have won 4 heismans" thread Quote Link to comment
