Lee vs. POB

[Big Red Cornspiracy]

I figure it's Lee, since he's got the experience and POB hasn't separated from him. Either way, we have a rookie to break in and there will be rookie mistakes. 7 wins tops next season because of this.

Although Lee is new to Nebraska and to this particular system, he is far from a rookie.

Well, his numbers @ Tulane were subpar. ~52% completions and passed for less than 2000 yds per. That was in the American Conference. So, I see no reason to get all "juiced" about him. And the fact that POB hasn't separated from him worries me too. If either actually gets on the field and kicks a$$, I will be surprised. Learning curve time, and we will probably be at a QB disadvantage in most games, like say, Purdue--that guy is pretty darn good and seasoned. jNU QB, same thing, etc. Either should be a better all around passer than TA, but there will be rookie mistakes in real time B1G competition.

If either can pull down 8 wins, I consider it a successful season. Look to '18 for things to get interesting for Big Red.

Obviously hasn't looked at the 2018 schedule yet...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that brutal line up c/o the B1G. Thanks again, B1G. Ok, 7-8 Ws in '18 too, but the QB will be better and keep us closer in the Ls, lol! '16 was our best recent window to get something done in the B1G, and we didn't. We struggled to beat average teams and lost bigly to 2 of the 4 teams that had a pulse. Well, we gave Wiscy a tussle, that was our shot. And we scratched and clawed back v TN, which wasn't the worst, I suppose.

On paper, last year, we lose to Clemson by ~ 90.

If only we had some Louisiana Speed!

I don't think it's as black and white as that.

I'd settle for some Ark St speed, D'OH! Yes they are speedy! That's why they have a shot against us. I think they tied for #1 in their conference, could be wrong about that, though. They are a good team.

I don't see where anyone was getting juiced up about Lee. I said he wasn't a rookie. Which he isn't.

And when quoting stats, it's helpful to get context.

In Langs' system v B1G competition, he is a rookie. I just hope he can keep the INTs down.

That guy hope the rookie QB keeps the INTs down too.

He will be good. You have to remember he put those numbers up injured at TULANE, where there was no supporting cast, he has a ton of weapons here.

Our main weapons are gone, namely Westy. We're going to be missing Carter in a big way too. Morgan will probably be the go to guy, but he's not Westy. DPE, I dunno. Other than that, a bevy of rookie WRs, some with mad skills. I hope the latter get on the field, we're going to need them. Lee will have to "show me". I still have high hopes for POB, just not this year, it seems.

Stanley Morgan may not be Westy but he might have been our most consistent receiver last year. Plus now he is the veteran and will be the number 1 go to guy in our offense. If our starting QB is competent in the offense, Morgan could have a very nice year. The guy has great hands, and is better physically than Westy was

I concede your last point only. But I don't recall Morgan making alot of plays last year. He has problems--like everybody not named "Westy"--separating and getting open. And no way are his hands anywhere near what Westy has. Westy is a freak in that regard. Westy does what a WR is supposed to do: get open and catch the ball, plus he can get some YAC. He does his job, IOW. Westy is just too fragile is his only problem. Can't take a hit. He beefs up and he could be the next Julian Edelman, more or less--with better hands.
Morgan will be the go to guy next year, but it will be 7-8/10ths Westy. Lindsay or Mcquitty may surprise, also, once they get their feet wet.

Fragile, huh. I didn't realize that injuries resulting from taking a knee to the spine mean that you can't take a hit.

More like a knee to his totally exposed rib/kidney area, if I recall. Then he comes back, gets hit a a few times and has an ankle or something. He frequently was writhing in pain after hits, having to go out. He's gotta beef up in he's going to make it in the NFL.

Lacerated kidney...

The link you provided confirmed "lacerated kidney", thats about all the further I read. The kidney area is not the spine. Small fractures to the transverse processes of the spine suggests getting hit in the ribs which torque on the T processes. If he had taken the same shot to the spine he probably wouldnt be walking.

Doesn't matter, the guy is fragile. Ok, maybe that's not the correct word. He is small...ish, and therefore vulnerable to big hits. If I'm a pro scout, that's what I am looking at.
