AM didn’t play as well that is clear. He was also injured to a far greater extent than many of us gave him credit for. In addition, he was surrounded by far lesser athletes in yr two than yr one, with a far worse offensive line than the yr prior. I’m not sure I can name one offense, at any level, where you lose leading rusher, wr, and 3 starting oline and expect to be better. Add on to that through ‘19 season you lose jd, wandale, Warner, and Washington for some or most of ‘19.
Regardless of what we had/lost. He was really bad in 19'. All year. From beginning to end. What exactly makes you think he will be better....significantly.

Ameer Abdullah is about a close to being Arabian as Shaq O’Neal is being Irish.
Yea ...um...f it..idk where i was going with this ...was just a joke ..n now im in a hole. Im sure i could dig myself out but was just playing on Brody Belt..the Millard West Assasin from either Arabia or kenya

Being a Muslim doesn’t automatically someone an “Arabian”.
Belt might be the furthest thing from Mo and Ameer, and if he is being counted on playing significant snaps, then NU is going to be in big trouble offensively.
No but Abdullah is Arabian. Last names typically show your ancestry. Apparently Abdullah means "servant of God" in Arabic. So honorable, regardless of religion.

Maybe the best at what we were doing last season..But I still think 2AM is going to be our best going forward..
Wasn't he Freshman or Offensive B10 player of the week 4 or 5 times his Freshman year?
You should watch our games you missed on youtube during this horrid offseason.
Ok ok...look i will try to be humble. It goes against my very name on here, and to be honest i created the name very drunk and this whole thing was a joke at first to me. If i'm gonna take time to post on a message board, i was gonna try to liven it up , at least have a lil fun while in the despair that is Nebraska football. But that was at first. Since then, i actually try to share my true opinions. But i do still like to add some fun to the board. I mean its not a serious part of life, its a college football message board. To me the only things in life that matter are the things that are eternal, everything else dies. And 100 years from now 95% of anything on this earth means nkthing other than wether souls go to heaven or to hell.
Now that some of you guys bring it up, i do remember the good Martinez from the 2 games i watched in 18', and i will take your word he was like that most of the year. What the f#&% happened in 19' then? I watched every single play of every single game in 19' and my honest opinion is Martinez cost us alot of games. This is a sport, so it doesn't mean i dont like him as a person. I just thought his play at QB was 80% of the time very harmful to our team, and 20% of the time was fair enough. If he was so good as a freshman, than why was he so bad the entire year (from South Alabama to Iowa), it wasn't like he had a few bad games, he was bad overall throughout the entire year.

Nothing wrong with chasing ladies, but I don’t think you can have a fair opinion on Martinez based on only 2019. Everything you liked from McCaffrey did in 4 games, Adrian did it over 10 games. Adrian took a step back in 2019 due to a number of factors, but IMO McCaffrey and Vedral have a lot to do to catch him as the #1 QB.
Yea i added a post edit. But now i remember our young star QB getting hurt in his very first game. And when i saw the replay of how dirty the play was.....just wonder how much that could have led to future injuries, or if he healed from that. And why do we always lose to the teams we hate the most, even when theyre not very good?

You only watched 2 games from Adrian’s freshman year? No wonder you don’t think he’s any good. While Adrian had plenty of freshman mistakes, but he had some games where he dazzled out there. He had big games against Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio State, Illinois, Northwestern, and Iowa to name a few.
Side point, what kind of Husker fan only watches 2 games of an entire season? That makes no sense to me.
I mean he was a preseason Heisman candidate, so i figured he must have looked alot better as a Freshman.
I'm actually surprised also. It was the first year in maybe 9 or 10 years that i didn't watch almost every game. Was traveling alot and just had a lot going on. Was super pumped for the season too and after watching us blow the opener against Colorado (was living in Colorado too) , that just killed me. And then hearing after the game AM got hurt....and maybe it was too painful, but after getting super drunk and trying to forget about it......well somehow i forgot there were 10 more games, until Iowa came around. Honestly was busy chasing ladies and chasing the sun traveling, but I'm not really sure how i forgot about it.
Edit: that reminds me , thats 2 years in a row Colorado has absolutely put a dagger in our spirit to start the year. Both the game in Lincoln, and the one in Boulder were in our hands. That was AM's first game as a Husker, and Colorado's dirty play has made it so AM hasn't maybe played 1 game fully healthy ever. I wonder if that injury has lingered or led to more issues ever since. f#&% CU.

To these points AM also was playing healthy with a much better supporting cast than in 2019. He also ran the whole offense all game so has a much bigger sample size to analyze. Some husker fans are the best, trying to run off an actual preseason heisman candidate in favor of their self appointed one with less than 20 pass attempts, 0-1 record as a starter, and 4 games played in. Gotta love the offseason around here.
Maybe it's cause I only watched 2 games in 2018, so I dont have visuals in my brain of whoever this heisman candidate AM 1.0 was. I watched every single play last year, and can't figure out why people think AM is good. He lools like he has talent, Yes, but the decision making and accuracy really hurt us.
1 hour ago, Husker03 said:I'm like Scott Frost, pot committed to AM. I spent all last season arguing with friends and family that he's exactly the horse I thought he was as a Freshman, he just had a slump year and will bring us offensive riches in 2020 and 2021.. I need to be right about this because I dug my heels in deep.
I just hope at least one of us is right.
And then there is @HUSKER 37 who thinks Vedral is the best at this point. Probably was last year. I'm just going with my gut, got nothing else.

Why did you think Luke was the ''better QB''?
He did seem to get better snaps which helped his timing, Completed some wobbly passes and ran with more purpose than 2AM but such a small number of plays...Still think overall. Vedral had the best ''look'' of the 3...And I'm guessing 2AM was hurt more than the coach is letting on.
3fold. 1) Luke was the best QB in his limited snaps. Yes it was a small sample size, but what else do we have to go on? Also you could use that argument for him. Coming cold off the bench n STILL performed. Imagine how he would have been in a rhythm.
2) Regardless of his talents, he seems to be the biggest fighter. Spirit, Drive, Contagious energy that effects entire team.
3) just a gut feeling (but regardless of if he passes the ball well, you got some things guarenteed) Fastest QB, gonna be high energy, gonna bring that spirit n soul. Even IF he doesn't pass the ball well, it cant be much worse than AM was, and you dont get those 3 traits i mentioned from AM or Vedral, at least not on the level of Luke.

Bring back the old Player/Coach position? Now that you mention it, I think last year's starting QB (who played ahead of Luke in High school) is recently in the transfer portal.
Colorado's starting QB? And yea, Luke would be a steal for the Buffs. He could be both a Heisman QB and a Coach of the year candudate, 2 for 1 deal.

Everyone?
Does that include Frost and Verduzco?
The thing possibly hurting Vedral is the fact that the coaches probably feel he won't transfer a 2nd time. So you can put him at QB3, but he's probably performed better than any backup qb we've had for over a decade.
I wonder if anyone has tried our offense with two QBs in shotgun...instead of a little RB behind the QB trying to catch the errant snap. Have them snap to Vedral on swing passes and 2AM or LM when we run something else...Probably resemble the I formation with enough separation so they don't have to call it.
Interesting.....u on Pacific Islander time or what

There’s nothing, to lead you to that concern. If you have a few actual reasons I’d like to hear them. Crowning a kid that has yet to attempt 20 passes is the reasons we have washouts and busts. Let the kids develop, they all have work to do and let the winner come out on top. The way that whole freshman class was talking last yr I have a hard time thinking their not here for the long haul and to win some games... I’m talking luke,wandale, and Nelson for sure.
My reason for that concern is just the way last year played out. Just felt Luke was a better QB and Frost has a bias toward AM. I could be wrong, but thats how I feel.

TBH..I'm a little surprised that the Colorado Buffs haven't offered Ed McCaffrey the HC position yet.
Ed? I'm surprised tyey haven't offered Luke the HC job.

Also, interesting, is a good amount of this board wants to crown mccaffrey as the hiesman winner 2020 but also thinks he’s not good enough or won’t beat AM or Smothers.
I am a lil worried of just that. I think McCaffrey could be better than Martinez, and Frost still goes with Martinez. Not saying Frost will do that, but it is a worry of mine. Luke could be the next Eric Crouch or Tommie Frazier. In fact I'd crown him with the Hesiman right now if i could.

Brody didn't look too bad in the spring game, but then again Jaylen Bradley didn't look too bad either. As I recall, Brody looked better running in traffic. Again I'm not saying he's anywhere near the category of Burkhead. Just that that's the style he'll need to emulate to see the field as a Husker.
I understand, Burkhead was just much stronger. This kid may be able to be a solid backup, but i hope he isn't the best we got. Reminds me of Mazour. But maybe he could be a bit better than Mazour.

Agree. If his dad took over North Dakota State or a team that actually competed in FCS maybe I could see it. This is a team that hasn't been good and it's gonna take Ed sometime to turn it around. I don't see this making any sense unless he just really wanted to play for his dad.
Unless he finds out he is never gonna start ahead of Martinez or Smothers. If he wants to be a QB, he probably doesn't want to be a career backup. But not only would Martinez have to beat him out, but also Smothers. So if Luke leaves, i would take it that Smothers is the real deal

And, I think one of these might be really good.
If its a freshman, or even a sophomore, it will still be another year before he is great. On the DL or DE , those are positions where it's hard to be physically dominant as a 18 or 19 year old. Nomatter how strong you are for your age.

Things can always change, but I can see three motivations for a move like that:
1. Able to play QB guaranteed, which it sounds like Luke really wants.
2. Able to play for his Dad.
3. Not having to sit a year transferring versus transferring to another D1 school.
This guy mentioned that the staff had talked about it, take that for whatever it's worth. This could simply be offseason/new coach talk but I'm simply relaying what I heard.
If Smothers is good, and Martinez has 2 years left, then the QB avenue very well could dry up for McCaffrey. Injuries can always happen of course, but I don't imagine a scenario where Martinez doesn't start this year without an injury, so this will be intriguing none the less.
I could see the reasoning behind it too, but hope he chooses to stay. Or maybe he beats out Martinez anyway. The scenario where he beats Martinez is if, 1) Martinez is still the same as he was all of last year. And 2) Scott has the guts to start the best player. In that case Martinez could transfer. Worst case scenario and the only way we dont have decent QB play, is if Martinez is still like he was this year, but Frost still starts him, Luke transfers, and now we have to go with a struggling Martinez or Vedral.

The question was, who is going to be nose tackle? I think one of these three can hold down that position well.
I also think we have good talent coming up at DE that is built better for the position.
My bad. I hope your right. I think I get what your saying. DL interior might not be as good but you think our DEs will be better.

Green, Robinson, Daniels.
I think there’s a good chance we won’t see much drop off at the position, especially if our DEs are better and require more attention from the OLine.
Sounds like your saying Green, Robinson, and Daniels could be as good as good as the Davis twins and Darrion. You do realize all 3 of our DL we lost from last year are probably gonna play in the NFL? We had one of the best DL in the BIG last year. Our LBs were just that bad, and we were missing a pass rusher, which looks like we still are.

On paper I understand the logic but damn that would be a huge step back for Luke transferring to Northern Colorado. I'd be more inclined to get it if his dad was at a FBS school.
The optimist in me says that if McCaffery is transferring that must mean Smothers is the truth.
I'd like to hear @runningblind response, but this could be nothing. Some guy who works in the department said their is talk of this. Even if McCaffrey has never even thought about going to UNC, there would be some people there talking about how he might transfer. Only cause one would naturally speculate that possibility, in the same way some people here in Nebraska have wondered the same. It depends what this guy meant by "their is talk" of it. Speculation talk? Or people have heard from one of the McCaffreys that this will happen if he doesnt get the job here? Either way I hope he stays here, the kid is fast. His speed looks just as fast against college competition as it did against high school. He hits the holes very quick and is a great running QB, a different level of speed than Adrian. Not sure about his passing yet, but Luke is gonna be good at some position by the time he finishes his college career, so i hope he is here.

This looks spot on - however don't know that our DL will be downgraded. We have so many options this year and Green could have played more last year if it wasn't for the redshirt / plus davis twins weren't really built for this defense and not sure their heads were 100%. I think only position on d that will be iffy is Lamar Jackson and even that may be a surprise with what was held out last year.
Who is gonna replace Daniels at nose guard? Keem Green? If he is as good as Daniels then i agree with you.

Took my kids to a playground in Greeley, CO today and started a conversation with a guy in a Blackshirts hoodie. He works in the UNC AD, where Ed McCaffrey was just named HC. He said there is talk internally of Luke transfering to play for his dad if he doesn't win the job this fall at Nebraska.
That could just be wishful thinking from UNC guys. Unless it was coming from his dad. But if that does happen, would be a huge loss.

I wonder why so many Husker fans keep forgetting about Vedral..Usually the 2nd stringer is everyone's favourite player.
I still think Martinez has the highest ceiling, but watching that video of the gazillion swing pass plays last season, NV seemed to be the most accurate of the three.
I like Vedral too. But Luke is the man. Im calling it right now, Luke will be our starter at some point in his career...and when he is we will be salty.

I disagree. Regardless of how bad the rest of the offense was, Adrian was as bad as anyone on the offense. I find it ironic how some people will throw every single offensive player under the bus in order to defend Adrian's bad play. The offense had many problems, not just AM, but I'm not gonna blame 10 other dudes for the decisions, lack of vision, and bad passing (even on simple screen passes) of our QB.
