God if we can get some receivers making plays down the field, the offense is going to explode.

Where's Nebraska55fan to offer some clarity to this situation?

Some posters on here might explode too if you catch my drift

Must..keep..anti..Kool-aid stance that he is known for….f#&% OHH YEAH

Are some of you surprised we don’t have proven depth behind a 4 year starter? Others that couldn’t beat him out left. Welcome to college football for the last dozen years. I’d say Smothers will be more than adequate.

At Rutgers.....that won 3 games last year and lost to Nebraska. I fail to see how Vedral is an example of inability to manage a roster. He had his chance to play and he was clearly not the answer here.

We've only won 16 games the last four years. Safe to assume our normal uniforms are cursed too.

We had approximately zero guys who could run a route and make a catch like that last year. I just drank a cup of koolaid.

You say Ohio State has multiple players with QB experience? Ohio State's top 2 QB's entering the 2021 season are CJ Stroud and Jack Miller (not including Quinn Ewers). Both are redshirt freshmen entering this season and have combined for ZERO attempted passes in their college careers. Wow, that's some awesome QB experience that Ohio State has returning.

Bringing in Vedral and letting him leave were both clearly mistakes by Frost. Seems pretty easy to understand

So, you’re ignoring the fact my other reason was to add depth. He was a player who knew the system and could run it from day one. That’s quality depth from day one. But, you tend to ignore that part. All you’re doing is stretching for a reason to complain.

I've seen him catch a lot of errant, off-target snaps; he might have the best hands on the team.

Was Vedral a wasted scholarship when he played snaps as (including a start) as a backup QB in 2019? After that, he left NU to become a starter at another school. I would love to have Vedral, but Vedral wanted a place to start, and he found that at Rutgers. I fail to see how NU mismanaged the Vedral situation.

I will start, I miss (now, at the time I hated it) my mom making meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and some corn. Of course, had to put ketchup on the meatloaf.

I'm not. I don't know the answers. That's why I'm asking you. But you don't seem interested in explaining your reasoning.

Vedral wanted to try and play at Nebraska. Frost offered him to come back to NU, compete for the job, and see where it went. If the NCAA didn't screw up his transfer season in 2018, Vedral would have been a solid back-up that season. In 2019, Vedral was the main backup for Martinez, and played a decent amount of games when Martinez was injured. How is that mismanaging a scholarship, unless you think Vedral was worth only a walk-on spot to be a backup?

So, any time a QB doesn’t like his spot on the depth chart, it’s the coaches fault because of mismanaging the room?

lol.. there is plenty of vaccine out there. we have reports of it going to waste because no one uses it. don't sell us that bravado about doing it for others and admit you are afraid of the shot Bryson.

Have fun tackling him in the 4th quarter.

Vedral was a good backup the staff brought in who was going to be third-string and transferred for a starting opportunity. Can you explain what you think our coaches did wrong there? Are you suggesting they be like: "No, Noah, we need you to turn down this chance to start to stay here in case our first two QBs get hurt." QBs transfer when they don't get the chance to play. That's college football in 2021 for better or worse.

The top OL group still seemed to be Corcoran, Piper, Jurgens, Sichterman and Benhart. Bando also rotating in at LT.

https://www.vox.com/coronavirus-covid19/22456544/covid-19-mask-mandates-lockdown-debate-evidence And yet, looking at the case and death numbers since the coronavirus pandemic began, it’s not obvious which states were cautious and which were not. New York, the original epicenter of the outbreak, has endured the second most deaths per capita behind New Jersey (271 per 100,000). Florida and Texas, despite much criticism of their laissez-faire approaches, rank right in the middle among states (26th and 24th, respectively) in the number of deaths per 100,000 people. California fared only marginally better, sitting at 30th. The one Covid-19 intervention that definitely worked was mask mandates.The evidence on lockdowns may be dicey, but the science on masks is clear: They work. Even experts I spoke with who think harsh lockdowns may have been counterproductive say indoor mask mandates were clearly effective.

I've been wrong about a lot of things in my life (zips up fanny pack), but I feel like I'm going to be right about this. Watching the spring game, he's the most complete back we have...then Morrison and Yant. Stepp gets a pass because I haven't seen him in our offense. Ervin is our next great RB at Nebraska, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

I hear they're moving AM to receiver this year because some of us on the board are unhappy with his development. I hope you're happy.

Scott Frost shouldn't be blamed for passing on Joe Burrow. That's pure hindsight. Quarterback development has been a concern given the first three seasons of the Frost era. These two statements get to live together in the same world.

I personally feel that if it was illegality that he was worried about, it would have been leaked far before now. Rather, I think he is such a narcissist that he cannot bear to have it become public that he isn't even worth (gasp) a billion dollars.

Holy hell did this turn into a train wreck.

To be clear, it is entirely unacceptable to suggest Kevin Warren quit as commissioner and go off to get another "diversity person position." The implication there is quite obvious. It doesn't matter if you think his race played a role in his hiring as B1G commissioner. He is a college educated attorney who has worked not only in law firms but in several important front office positions for a number of professional sports franchises, many of which were positions that had nothing to do explicitly with diversity and inclusion. He could quit and get a job in any number of roles or positions.

You win. Technically. I guess that's all Nebraska55 fan demanded. But part of Adrian's high completion percentage in 2020 came with his lowest yards per attempt, a 7.0 reflecting the conservative offense. His TD:INT ratio went from 10/9 to 4/3, so yay shortened season. Given the 17/8 from his freshman season, that's still trending downward. And of course his QB rating as a Jr. was down from his freshman season, and not much of a bump from his Sophomore year. And Adrian's own coach benched a healthy Adrian for two games last year, convinced Luke McCaffrey gave the team a better chance to win. Turns out the Luke McCaffrey Era will never take place. Last I checked, Scott Frost and Adrian Martinez have both admitted the quarterback had taken a backward step or two, mostly involving his decision making and ball protection. Adrian will start his senior season backed by quarterbacks who have never played a snap of college football. That's pretty unusual. You don't have to like the relentless negativity some posters have on this subject. But come on.....qb development has been a problem.

lol

Martinez's completion percentage went up 12 points from 2019 to 2020. His TD:INT ratio improved from 2019 to 2020. His QB rating improved from 2019 to 2020. QED

Now imagine the blonde gal is a teenage quarterback and the other two guys are Frost and Verdu.

Bryson's an a$$, who projects himself as the boy-genius on the PGA Tour. You put it well, he didn't get the vaccine because he thought he was invincible and he's also ultra-conservative (he counts the Trump kids as personal friends). The whole "saving the vaccine for those who need it" is complete BS. There are plenty of vaccines going around.

How exactly are you going to prove "developmental" without showing that they are "proven"? Still not going to answer my other questions?

Colorado makes sense to me. Geographically, AAU member, TV market.

He was brought in to provide depth, period. There was an added bonus in that he knew the playbook and could help the entire offense, not just one player. I can't believe this is even being discussed.

Iowa's backup is a 3 star RS/SO who is completely unproven. His impressive offer list consists of Central Michigan, CSU, Columbia, and Cornell. Woohoo Most of the other schools we compete against have unproven guys backing up the QB position. The exceptions are guys like Kellog who just hang out and hope to toss a hail mary some day when everyone else is hurt. The bottom line, if your backup is any good, you can count on him leaving very soon.

That bball baggage is worth a lot of money

What are you talking about? He helped who learn? AM? ONE QB?! Nebraska is the only school in the country to recruit a scholarship athlete to teach 1 teammate how to run the offense

Because you asked too many questions at one time. Untruthful statement, not unexpected. Easily proven that I’ve answers many many questions on this forum. Yet you keep responding must be pretty worthwhile

I believe that if he doesn't, he will be removed. There are some pretty powerful Democrats that are saying he needs to resign. It's nice to see a party do this instead of protecting him.

No. I asked how long and one possible answer could be never.

Alot of it might depend on the style we win the first 3. 2-3 blowouts might help. But after Oklahoma were 4-0 and were ranked for sure.

You’re right, I’m sorry. Sometimes it’s fun to poke the bear. I’ve rarely met someone as self absorbed and ignorant, so curiosity gets the best of me. I should just let the car alarm go off in the night.

Very impressive. Slovenia has around 2 million people. Luka Doncic and Slovenia need one win for a medal in their Olympic basketball debut. They are 17-0 in competition with Doncic. https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/31949506/luka-doncic-leads-slovenia-semifinals-closer-first-olympic-basketball-medal Doncic was the leading scorer in the tournament with 28.3 points per game through the group stage.
