QB drives the train here. You can get many a recruit here based off who is handing the snap from center.
Someone took some crazy pills.I also really liked Zac Lee and think 2010 could have been different with him at the helm. ie we win the conference....
Zac Taylor has a much higher football IQ and made the correct play more often than Ganz. Joe would force a lot of passes and threw a ton of picks, many of which were under zero pressure. Zac had a much worse supporting cast, and honestly probably won us 4-5 games a season just on his ability to stand in the pocket and deliver the ball for first downs knowing he was going to get creamed.I am going to respectfully disagree here.Joe Ganz was every bit the quarterback that Zac was, and ran essentially the same system.
This is a good post though. Refreshing perspective.
Why? You realize among active quarterbacks his senior season he had the 3rd best career passer rating behind Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow?
Better passer rating, better completion percentage, more yardage, better runner. Not saying that's proof of anything but I don't know how you take one over the other.

I liked Joe Ganz. I am also going to get murdered for this, but he is probably the most overrated QB in Nebraska Football history. IMHO
I think folks loved Ganz more because he WASN'T Sam Keller.Zac Taylor has a much higher football IQ and made the correct play more often than Ganz.

Would have loved to see that match-up with Alabama. But we would easily have won all the games we actually did play. EASILY.MNC in 2009 with Joe at the helm. No doubt in my mind. Man what could've been......I am going to respectfully disagree here.Joe Ganz was every bit the quarterback that Zac was, and ran essentially the same system.

If he wasn't massively hurt it's an interesting question......Taylor too for that matter.Someone took some crazy pills.I also really liked Zac Lee and think 2010 could have been different with him at the helm. ie we win the conference....

...and this is an example of where stats don't tell the whole truth. Zac Taylor's INT's were nearly 100% due to unbelievable defensive pressure and tipped passes. Seriously, watch those on film from 2006. I think he had one bad decision that wound up a pick that entire year. Watch the OU game, he is getting his a$$ kicked on every play. We couldn't block a middle school team's d line that year. Ganz was good for a terrible decision nearly every game. Weren't something like 5 or 6 of those 11 INT's pick 6's?Zac Taylor has a much higher football IQ and made the correct play more often than Ganz.

Zac had 8 picks to Joe's 11 in 2008? Not exactly a ton.
Unless you think it's fair to compare Joe Ganz's 2007 games where Callahan went air raid to try and save his job. But I don't think it is.

This spread style of offense is p**syfying the game of football right now. While it has moments of toughness - it lacks a certain physical toughness.I love this OP. Sums up my feelings exactly on the new era of offense. It terribly stunts the growth of the most important player on the team, the qb. Yes, it can make it easier for guys to succeed, but long term you'd be better off letting a guy learn and develop the mental side of the game.
