  1. Considering most of your posts are some combination of wildly incorrect, offensive, or detached from reality, I am going to trust our coaches' evaluations of quarterbacks over yours. Have a good one!

  2. So, if Smothers would have been 1 for 3 with a swing pass that went for 90 yards, you would be feeling awesome about him. 30 yards per attempt..WOOOHOOO!!!!

  3. Smothers was 8-13 with no interceptions? Pretty rough judgement for a kid who has only been in one scripted scrimmage at the college level. Haarberg looked like a green kid who didn't know much - to be expected for someone who just joined the team. However, he seemed to be settling in pretty well and tossed the touchdown that won the game in the end. Potential is there, even if the negative individuals in our fan base don't want to acknowledge it.

  4. Not sure why someone thought this comment was funny. Fact is, we have more QB depth right now than we have had in a long time.

  5. NU will start off 3-0 and head to Norman ranked in the top 25, they will lose that game but they won't drop much and they will hang around 20-25 all year.

  10. So other QBs get the benefit of the doubt on small sample size but not ours. Seems legit.

  11. I have an employee whose brother was an extreme anti vaxer that thought the government was implanting chips. He died over the weekend from COVID. Not all posts like that are some Biden administration's back room attempt to fool everyone into getting vaccinated.

  12. Small sample size- at the end of the day yards per attempt is the metric I love and he averaged 10 yards per attempt. Our guy averaged 6. Im guessing Fields will have a better career than Smothers- being able to consistently complete the long ball matters.

  13. Nothing against Ahman Green, as he was an awesome Husker and had great years in the NFL, I just struggle with hiring guys just because he was a great, former Husker. Has Ahman done any coaching at any level since retiring in the NFL?

  15. I'm not sure why so many people accept this concept.. We have the #4 dual threat QB in the nation from 2019 on our roster. He wasn't ready last year understandably but after a full year of fairly normal football activities, he should be ready to go. My guess is he is completely capable of being a great QB if he is needed for whatever reason.

  16. Ya know what I can’t wait for? The first playoff poll. I was going to start a way too early dedicated thread informing everyone of that fact but I see we already have a way too early similar posting here so…..

  17. The ENTIRE thought process is NU has consistently made poor decisions on evaluating QBs and developing QBs. Their decision making has been poor at best and shouldn't be trusted now. Empirically where have any of our QBs shown improvement? Luke- no one wanted him. When someone is number 2 on an insanely talented team AND he wants to play for you- you evaluate him correctly. Joe didn't develop all those skills overnight- he had a bunch of them before he transferred.

  18. Now give Adrian 2 first round WRs, a first round RB and LSU'S O-line, and visa versa for Burrow.

  19. So, nothing these coaches have done with QBs in the past counts for anything. All evaluation needs to be had in the last 3 years while the rest of the team has gone through a complete roster rebuild. Ok.

  24. And all of that wouldn't have ever happened if he came to Nebraska. So much of his success happened because he landed in a place that was full of talented guys. Your reasons to complain are a stretch man.

  25. @BigRedBuster My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek. I am for vaccinations. I'm sorry to hear about the anti-vaxxer. I too lost a friend in Houston because he thought the same way. It really sucks. And most of my friends in the community aren't getting vax no matter what (gov't trust issue). It sucks too. The vote Dem.

  26. So do you account for small sample size or no? Was our guy going against the #1 defense while Fields was going against the 2s or 3s? Also, please continue to whine about results when it hasn't been possible to have any results of any kind for most of the last nine months.

  27. Our guy averaged 6 yards per attempt AND he was locking in early on 1 guy and I wasnt impressed with his arm strength So my eyes didnt see great QB play. I want to see RESULTS not propaganda.

  28. Lauren Boebert can be a dummy in her own right, but it looks like her challenger is right up with her. These statements are so patently false and easily disproven. Is she a plant and trying to get Boebert re-elected?

  29. You're basing your evaluation of Smothers off of seeing one out of 15 total spring practices. Our coaches would have brought in a more experienced quarterback via transfer if they though Smothers or Haarberg weren't capable of being a competent backup.

  30. I would probably argue that QB depth means “multiple guys able to successfully execute the normal offence.” In this case the backups are extremely young and should AM2 go down for whatever reason (which we should all pray he doesn’t) I don’t think we’re anywhere close to that. That is not to say that if the OL executes to its potential that the backups can’t move the ball, just that the playbook needs to be drastically cut-down for both back up options (with Smothers likely requiring a higher run:pass ratio). Bottom line is if the OL was projected to be weak, this would be a bigger concert, but calling our QB Depth “good” requires a very optimistic world view.

  31. 8-13 with the 1s. He did have 1 incompletion with the 2s. He didn't look like a world beater but anyone expecting that would be crazy. He got very little work leading up to this spring since he was 3rd on the depth chart during the Covid year. Pretty tough to make a complete judgement of the kid under those circumstances imo. The only other body of work we can compare to is his high school career- which was pretty damn good. Have you watched the kids highlight video? Looks pretty capable imo. I am hoping we don't need him until next year or the year after but I believe he will be solid when his number is called.

  32. did anyone else read the article that said Ahman Green would be up to taking a coaching position at Nebraska? I'ld hire him.

  34. I think Adrian is going to surprise alot of people this year. With a better OL, a better group of recievers , I'm expecting great things from AM.

  35. Found out today that not only the brother died this weekend but a niece did too. 31 years old, pregnant and healthy. Get f#&%ING vaccinated. Stop being an idiot.

  36. Or just let Joe Burrow graduate and watch LSU score 16 fewer points a game on the way to a 5-5 season and out of contention for everything. Some quarterbacks are pretty special.

  37. Posthumously using Burrow's overall success at LSU as an indicator of what he would've done at Nebraska prior to experiencing any of that success is a fairly disingenuous argument. Burrow was a talented but relatively unknown commodity heading into his junior season. It's certainly possible (and perhaps even likely) that he ends up performing better than Adrian, but that opinion holds virtually no weight over any other because a lot of it is based on pure speculation. This topic is drawing far too much enmity given it's based almost entirely in an alternate reality.

  38. Is that doctor saying 50% of all children will need to be in the ICU if infected? Or that 50% that go to ER will be admitted to ICU? Sorry, but Video won’t play for me.

  39. Well, maybe you weren’t following along but the backstory is @commando said he would hate to see Delta in a country without all the vaccinations. I gave him an example of what happened to a country that had Delta scream through its country. India has less than 10% fully vaccinated people. That’s what I was getting at. Hope that clears up your confusion. It will make parents give the vaccine a second look for their kids I believe.

  40. Ok…. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(20)30514-2/fulltext Infection control guidelines have stated that most respiratory virus transmission occurs from large infected droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, and breathing in close proximity to another person.

  41. 'Rookie season'...? He was a redshirt junior compared to a true freshman in Martinez who played better with worse surrounding cast. Great question. If all the other quarterbacks at Nebraska haven't developed, why do you think 57% completion percentage Joe Burrow would have?

  43. Smothers was 8-14 for 76 yards or about 6 yards per attempt Those are the kind of numbers we dont want to live with He didnt look good throwing the ball IMO-\ Im a fan and a Frost supporter- but Im no coolaid drinking 14 year old. Objective- realist

  45. Tell me how this leads to more money per team? The $EC is adding TX & OU for money and quality, so, I'm curious how adding all the PAC 12 achieves the same objectives. Your thoughts?
