Bunch transferring

Does this mean I officially can't go back to my Fightin' Artichokes avatar?

These are trying times, indeed.

Why you gotta be "that guy"?

It's kinda his MO

(and yes I know he was being ironic in his OP)

It's not like other positions where you can work your way into a rotation or play special teams, if you know you're not going to play there aren't a lot of reasons to stick around.

That would mean there's no good reason for a competent quarterback to back-up Adrian Martinez for the next three years.

Obviously.  But why?

Gotcha.

 this season could've been a lot uglier without Bunch.

It might have been scarier but I don't see how it could've been uglier. We lost both games where he got snaps before the game was over.

I agree for the most part. Vedral is unique because he's a Nebraska kid, so he's probably ok being the backup for the rest of his career - with how we run the QB and ideally a lot of blowout wins, the 2nd string will play. Very few good QBs would do that, and I don't think any would stay as 3rd string. McCaffrey, Smothers, and anyone else we recruit won't be behind him their entire careers like Bunch/Vedral are. McCaffrey redshirts year 1, then is a backup years 2 and 3 and in position to start the next two. Who knows if that's how it works out, but he has a path to playing time that Bunch doesn't

I love that there is this much discussion about a walk on leaving the program

It's the offseason...and until we have more commits, this is all we got. haha.

As embarrassing as losing to Troy at home is, they might have shut us out without Bunch. Record-wise we're probably the same with or without him, but he also saved Martinez some hits against Michigan - maybe Martinez gets hurt again if he had to stay in, who knows. Probably would've been the same amount of ugly, but I could see it going much worse.

Bunch leaving was a given........if AM is that good, he will skip his Sr. year and head for the NFL......McCaffrey will be next man up. 

 

[huskerfan333157]

Obviously.  But why?

Because 75% of the board got mad that Gebbia transferred yet no one is getting mad about bunch.  What's wrong with pointing out a double standard?

And if not him, Smothers.....and if not him Garcia...if not him Mix......etc.
