Frost knows about the calls for McCaffrey. In the presser he said something to the effect of the entire state of Nebraska loving Luke.
Frost was very complimentary of Smothers too......

I agree Adrian will be named the starter next fall. I think he stays healthy and plays well in 20 with actual WR and a good line. I expect Smothers to pass McCaffrey on the depth chart. I expect McCaffrey will change positions or leave if it becomes clear he won't play QB.
I also expect that to make a lot of people salty.

I really believe Luke will be a game changer by the time he is a senior if not earlier. So i hope he changes positions in that scenario. I just think the passion he plays with and the energy is contagious. If Adrian is the starter, he better be a completely different QB than this year.

I think Luke deserves to be on the field, don't get me wrong, he is an A+ athlete. I do think Adrian plays much better next year.

I get that. But we probably would have lost regardless who played QB because we looked just as bad if not worse when he played all year. I am not sold a non throwing arm injury made him miss his reads, look slow and throw inaccurate?funhusker said:

This has been a problem since Taylor Martinez. The incumbent doesn’t lose his job to poor performance. Granted the QB rooms have been horrible until recently but it’s an observation of the last decade.

Not sure the QB rooms have been all that bad. How bad were we under Cody Green? He fit our system, but he wasn't a bright guy to pack up and go to the system at Tulsa. Tulsa was 8-5 and 11-3 with him there. Obviously someone beat him out for a reason. But he was actually pretty good at minimizing turnovers when he did play. He's coaching now at UNLV now, so he couldn't have been too terrible.

We never got a chance to see Cody Green. He was mismanaged when he was here.

Wait are you claiming Adrian was getting worse as the season went on last year?
When did Taylor play bad enough over a 2+ game stretch that he should have lost his job, and who should he have lost it to?
Make it an open QB competition, but practice reps in a green jersey are not always a very good indication of performance on Saturday's. We have a deep QB room and need to make use of it if needed. Keep the QBs on a short leash until we figure out who is the fastest blinker on Saturday's.

You do realize that 'fast blinkers' theory is more or less about small organisms and has little to do with fast performance? We just plain need a smarter breed of football at Nebraska. The reason Devaney was so good was he put it on the staff to think and left it on the players to react. He held people accountable by replacing underperformers. But when it gets down to the nitty gritty, he minimized thinking out of most of the players. The coaches and a few select leaders do all the thinking in a system like he ran. You don't need to be a fast blinker, you need to be a fast do-er.
