Has Nebraska ever been a path to the NFL for a QB?
100% agree. I mentioned way earlier that if he truly feels he is a NFL quarterback, then he needs to take a different path.
No, Nebraska hasn't historically placed many QBs in the NFL but Dana has had his hands on few who had NFL careers. I think it is more about the current offensive system and not the school... Dana's system absolutely highlights the QB so Nebraska is a great place to come to be an NFL QB.... If we can build a solid O-Line.
In all reality, Dana has helped put some QB in the nfl, outside of Geno, he hasn’t produced a proven nfl “starter” unless you count Skylar Thompson. When you compare other big time programs, coaches and OC, we are lacking and it isn’t even close.
I think in this new transfer era of football, it will be very rare for a starting QB to stay at one school his whole college career unless you are in the national championship conversation yearly. Our best bet is to find transfer QBs that fit really well- like LSU did with Joe. They play one year and put up great numbers and then go to the league.
Yes, that is a lot more likely than the scenario I said. You are correct. Just like Indiana this year
I believe in the bold that is true but I also believe that Glenn Thomas as our qb coach doesn't help either. I believe Nebraska tried to do their best with what they have as coaches but maybe Dylan doesn't believe that Glenn Thomas as his qb coach is helping his progress or he feels he has regressed and so that could be another factor as to why he is transferring.
That's a possibility. I'm guessing guys like DR get so much coaching on and off the field that the current QB coach only matters so much to them but who knows.
This is only an example but if Dylan would have stayed here and been successful and made it to the pro's who's success does it fall under meaning the oc's bc that the system that made him successful or the qb coach? Who get's the credit for the qb's success??
All involved would definitely claim it... The reality is the player, the team, the HC, OC and his personal coaches all have involvement. Who gets credit for Mendoza this year? Or for Joe Burrow a few years back?
I understand where you are coming from and I agree but for Joe Burrow success at LSU Ed Orgeron got the credit bc he was Joe's qb coach.
Ed did virtually nothing before or after with NFL QBs. The only other two he has any association with is Myles Brennan and Max Johnson - neither amounted to anything in the NFL. Ed may get some of the credit but not much imo. The reality is Jos was a fairly complete QB when he arrived there and had the best receiving core in college football. The stars simply aligned for him to showcase his talents.
Wasn’t he a KState kid? When did Dana coach him?
He never coached him so their is no link between the two except for playing against each other in the Big 12.
