Way more than half is the ads. They’re awful. lol
Also, after years of believing we will be successful and that this is the year… I’m waiting now. Partly out of caution, mostly for the other shoe to drop.

Use a browser that blocks those and you'll never see them. (haven't seen an ad on this site for several years) Brave, Vivaldi, etc.

Notably, they're not going out west for the 4 new teams (think the Network hired old Pac 12 network folks that handled the new 4). So I think only Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State have "better" QB rooms out of the 14 they're seeing this year.
You may see Haarberg in a wildcat type role or on a trick play with 2 QBs, but it doesn't seem likely at all that he moves away from a QB role on anything even approaching a semi-permanent basis. He's very, very likely the #2 QB either listed straight up or in a -OR- with Danny.
Gramstad is not a thing. Fans/media want it to be a thing, but the coaches approach to the QB room has been deliberate and consistent since these two freshman arrived. That did not change when Gramstad arived. It hasn't changed as we quickly approach the announcement of the starting QB and the initial public depth chart. If they were going to make Gramstad a thing, it would have happened a long time ago when they could have eased their way into it. If they did it now, it would be an absolute disaster. You can't sell yourself as a coach to your players on loyalty and transparency and then pull something so against your messaging at the last minute. You'd lose not only the QB room, you'd lose the locker room. It simply will not happen unless injuries or similar inability to play happens to those other 3 QBs.
In this day and age when guys leave early due to transfer or the draft, you have to play your best players and worry about redshirts later. Nelson is more valuable to this program as a 3 year guy that gets drafted high than he is as a 4y and 4g guy. For Nebraska to get more of these top guys to do more than just visit, they need to show they can both win games and put blue chip talent into the league.

Agree, no way in heck do you change Haarberg's position right now. He needs to be ready to come in.
The ideal scenario is Raiola is as good as we hope and is good enough to go pro after his Junior season. Haarberg and Kaelin are co #2 this year, and if at all possible you redshirt Kaelin. That gives Kaelin 2 years as the starter and Kaelin is as good as advertised. Then next year, Kaelin is your clear #2. At that point we have a new freshman QB and that's when you *think* about HH playing another position his senior year (if he doesn't transfer).
I would completely understand Kaelin leaving in the next 1-2 years if he's the same year as Raiola his entire career.

Reading more into this, it may be a case of Gramstad being way behind on the playbook, which is a major problem. So if that is true he would not be a thing.

The ideal scenario is Raiola is so good, and we start winning, and we get another 5 star QB to sign up. Kaelin remains a backup/mop up duty guy or leaves. Sorry for the kid, but if we want to be a big time program again we want high 4/5 star QBs rolling through here.
