  2. I don't think that's really fair at all. Their abilities as a passer are not really even close, as was pretty evident this year.

  3. I don't think he's taking a scholarship from anyone, as those scholarships are good for one academic year. It's not like Frost could have taken that scholarship and given it to someone else to use this spring semester.

  4. Last season Adrian was a very efficient deep passer and it was "Adrian needs to stop trying to hit a home run every play and learn to take the singles that are there." Now that he completed 70 percent of his passes and showed real growth in reading coverages, it's "Adrian can't throw deep." He needs to take better care of the ball, but this dude can't win with some of you.

  5. Husker fans: Getting rid of Pelini will let the better athletes play Husker fans, later: These Banker defenses suck and there isn't any change in who's playing Judgement: Husker fans were wrong. Husker fans: Pelini is a terrible recruiter Husker fans, later: /realize that recruiting got significantly worse after he left Judgement: Husker fans were wrong. Husker fans: Winning nine games each year is easy, a drunk monkey could do it. Husker fans, later: Why can't we even have a winning record? Judgement: Husker fans were wrong. Husker fans: Chinander is terrible. Husker fans, later: Chinander is really doing a pretty good job Judgement: Frost was right Husker fans: McCaffrey has to be the starter. Husker fans, later: McCaffrey isn't cutting it, go back to Martinez Judgement: Frost was right Husker fans: Nelson is terrible, why does he play? Husker fans, later: Nelson is really making some plays now. Judgement: Frost was right Conclusion: Husker fans often think they know more about what's going on than the coaches. It is often proven that they are completely wrong. Riley had a dedicated special teams coordinator and gave several scholarship out specifically for specialists. The results were pretty poor. Frost had a position coach with the Special Teams Coordinator title for his first two years here. The results were pretty poor. There isn't one "right" way to do it. If there was, everyone would do it that way. There isn't any guarantee that doing it a certain way will produce great results. We've tried them all in the last six years and failed at all of them. Frost saw it wasn't working and is going a different direction. That's pretty much what people wanted him to do. He might not have gone about it exactly like people want but, as illustrated above, that really doesn't mean much.

  6. The most important stat line @ Rutgers: 2 ints; 3 fumbles, 2 lost for a total of 4 turnovers. If he does that against a good team not playing their 2nd and 3rd string QBs the outlook on Martinez going into the offseason is much different.

  7. No staff changes. Friendships are more important than winning to Frost. Im done with him after this season if its the same ole s#!t. I would have given him more time if he would have made the nexessary staff changes, but he dug his own grave with this one.

  8. AM has been the worst downfield passing QB in the B1G and one of the worst in the nation the last 2 years. I think he fits the couldn't part just fine.

  10. Martinez will still be a junior in 2021, and we aren't asking him to play WR so that's quite different.

  11. Last night I re-watched the Rutgers game, for the first time. Without the stress of winning or losing, Adrian looked really good. He seems to do some awkward things that other top Qbs do not do. His straight run to the sideline was really odd. Sliding short of the first down vs. Purdue. His fumbles in the Rutgers game were after great runs. I think it is all mental for him right now. If the pieces around him can help him relax and take pressure off, he will be very special again.

  12. Projecting your nonsense onto @funhusker and @BigRedBuster is not fair to them. You posted the transphobic tweets from Ben Shapiro and Abigail Shrier, own up to it. Asking questions in good faith about this subject is not transphobic. Hyperbolic fear-mongering, on the other hand, is. I don't believe that any of us on this board are bona fide experts on gender dynamics, and it can be a complex issue. So we can have a discussion about the gender spectrum, civil rights policy, what it means for sports and restrooms, etc, without being alarmist, offensive, or disrespectful (that discussion should be in a different thread, imo). But the tweets that you pasted here without comment were not made in good faith about the transgender community or gender dynamics. What points were Ben Shapiro and Abigail Shrier trying to make with their tweets, and what are their views on the transgender community (I'll go ahead and answer: their views are horrific, and they were trying to stir up more fear and bigotry). What point were you trying to make when you posted them here? And compare funhusker's and BRB's questions with the intent of you and your twitter follows. Do you understand the difference?

  13. Only disappointment in keeping the staff in place is special teams. I'll hold out hope they make it Ruud or Dawson's responsibility. An analyst can help, but we need someone that has on the field responsibilities for their performance in practice and on game days. In my experience you need someone to "own" the task, in order to see results, and frankly it's not possible for an analyst to own this task.

  14. If you've watched the Husker program for 35 years and can't tell that Frost has a focus on getting the offensive line to be the strength of the offense then I would take a look a your diagnostic methodology.

  18. It seemed like most of the fumble issues against Rutgers had to do with the sleeves. I don't think he fumbled again after they cut them off. Or maybe he was just paying more attention but it did get better.

  20. Also can't blame McCaffrey for transferring at all. If that's what ultimately happens that is. The sad thing is with Mills departure he would have easily been the best returning ball carrier on the entire team. My confidence in Frost, Lubick and Verduzco at this moment isn't at what I'd call at an all time high so there's that also. Can't blame him.

  21. I’m really not gonna lose sleep over this one. More potential at another position than actual results at his current one. The dude couldn’t even throw 15-20 yards downfield. Noodle arm.

  22. @Gorillahawk And Martinez seemed to have little trouble finding Stanley Morgan on deep balls in his freshman year. Kinda funny how the problem started when Stanley left, huh? But a lot of people here prefer the explanation that Verduzco cast a voodoo mind control spell on Adrian to turn him into a terrible QB.

  23. Whats he supposed to say? We sucked and I'm not happy with our current players? That's a good way to lose the locker room. I'd say that Frost is a lot more honest with his players in small position group or individual meetings then he is when he talks about them to the media.

  24. Unfortunate that our fan base has become a circular firing squad in light of current circumstances. We should be on the same team. Confronting the state of our program is not meant to be a lecture. The last 4 seasons are more powerful proof of our situation than anything I can say. If we have to squint to find success or progress, than we need to ask ourselves whether this is moving in the right direction. Message boards are poor venues for showing sincerity. i genuinely hope this works out, not because it proves someone right and someone wrong, but because we will be a happier fan base for it.

  26. You are missing the point of the post. It has nothing to do with player retention - which I agree with you was bad under Riley. Perhaps go back and read the post I was responding to so you have more context concerning my post.

  27. It's possible. It's also possible that, as reported above, McCaffrey is not planning on going into the Portal right away so Frost is still hoping he'll end up staying. I just don't think there are really any conclusions to be drawn from what he said with any certainty.

  28. Eh ... you're pretty much always going to give the impression that a player is here for the long term. Until they've said differently.

  30. Interesting rabbit hole. The Nebraska Aggies were at one time coached by Robert C. Russell, and appear to have had some connections to Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity (although that may just be a reference to Russell). They represented the School of Agriculture from UNL's East Campus Ag School per this Daily Nebraskan article from 1933. They played teams like Doane, Harvard (NE), Nebraska Wesleyan, York, etc. They also had a basketball team.

  31. Idealism and realism routinely come into conflict and I typically call things as I see them. Perhaps I missed the 7 year plan for success that Coach Frost presented 3 years ago and am thus premature in my program assessment. Having watched this program for 35 years, I wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Believe me, I want this to work more than anything. Scott Frost is a terrific ambassador for our program and a great competitor. Sometimes though, circumstances dictate another direction. I just feel that momentum in a variety of areas is heading towards another change (as painful as that may be for some). Despite our disagreement here, we all want the same thing, a program we can be proud of on and off the field.

  32. True, but there were decisions made that led to him ending up in that position that he could control. I'm not saying slide necessarily (this one might have been right at the 1st down marker?), but not putting yourself in spots where you're being flipped or a defender has a clean shot at the ball can be done most of the time. Easier said than done for sure though.

  33. If he cleans up the fumbles and we give him receivers who can get open, a line that can consistently pass pro/snap him the ball, and backs who can take the rushing burden off of him, I truly think Adrian is an all-conference quarterback. He is extremely talented.

  34. Those were never part of the paper Republicans are trying to retcon into a "plan." 1.6 million people were vaccinated yesterday - great! That shows the determination of the American people to put this mess behind us. Because despite any coherent response from trump, the actual medical professionals and those who care, community to community, are trying to get this done. Imagine how much better this all could have been if we'd had a strong top-down organizational effort from Day One.

  37. Over our last four games, Martinez completed 85.8% of his passes. Went five straight games without an INT until Rutgers.

  38. There is already 10 plus posters on here doing the Trump complaining. You want me to just echo and be number 11? Equating a cat stuck in a tree to National Guard stuck sleeping in a Parking garage that even Senate Majority Leader is complaining about is next level though. Well done jj

  42. And just when I thought he couldn't make any worse decisions.... With almost every position group we improved.....RB's came in an did a good job.....Showed a lot of improvement.....In there shared 6 carries.....WTH...And if he has time to work with AM (more time away from coaching all phases) why are we keeping the QB whisperer.... As for his confidence in his staff, Frost said, "If you look at our team, I think with almost every position group you can look at it and say they improved, particularly on defense. But I think our tight ends played really well last year. Our receivers were young and a lot of them hadn't played, and I saw steady improvement there. At the running back position, when (Dedrick) Mills was hurt, we had to go to a lot of young guys, and I think they came in and did a good job and showed a lot of improvement.

  44. Sometimes I wish the DNC had a leader who was as much of an a$$h@!e as McConnell. The things he gets done are bad but he gets things done. Also, this organizing resolution stuff is stupid. There should be more rules that don't change each time.

  46. I'll let Shep explain it to you - You see the talking point you're using to prop up your false equivalency started with the truth, the truth which is, "Administration officials claim Trump had no plan,"- not that "CNN says Trump had no plan." AGAIN, YOU ARE BLINDED BY YOUR BIASES, and seeking equivalency to justify your beliefs and intention to tar and feather anything the Biden administration does. - Behold the word's of Shep, like him, I'm not holding my breath that you will understand, but hey- I tried.... "Opine all you like, but if you're going to opine, begin with the truth, and opine from there," he said. "And it's that deviation from that, that has caused me the greatest concern. "And I believe that when people begin with a false premise and lead people astray, that's injurious to society," Smith continued, "and it's the antithesis of what we should be doing." "I don't know how some people sleep at night, because I know there are a lot of people who have propagated the lies and have pushed them forward over and over again, who are smart enough and educated enough to know better. And I hope that at some point, those who have done us harm as a nation — and I might even add as a world — will look around and realize what they've done. "But I'm not holding my breath."
