Don't mistake that for being a better QB... Nope. HH has a turnover-worth play 3.6% of the time. Sims has a turnover worthy play 9.5% of the time. Quote Link to comment

Sims could walk on water and Husker fans would be like "SEEEEEE, I told you he can't swim!" FWIW...i have walked on water...it's not really that big of a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it really depends on what time frame you're looking at. If you look at just this last game, Sims didn't have any and Haarberg had several, so I'd say Sims is trending up... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

gobiggergoredder Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Program needs to get dirty in the off season. Hopefully they have someone digging through the lower tier teams looking for a QB we can steal with an "opportunity" and/or NIL money. 1 Quote Link to comment

If the rumors are to be believed, you might need to look just a little south for the guy we'll be targeting for NIL... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Mechanics is more than just arm angle- its dropback/step back cadence and timing depending on the play, its consistent footwork that is always in motion and ready to throw at a moments notice and not being off balanced, its about maintaining proper balance in and out of the pocket so you're not leaning back (as the TM video above tried to point out), its about engaging the core and hips in the right way so you're using your whole body to throw with power (not just with pure arm strength), accuracy and consistency. All of which is before we even get to arm angles/releases and timing w/ receivers. I haven't even touched on head movement/eye movement to not telegraph where you're throwing and deceive a DB into covering a guy you aren't throwing to. All of this (and much more) falls in QB mechanics There's a famous quarterback whisperer — I think Taylor Martinez was sent to. him one summer -- who says footwork is so important for a QB that he doesn't even let them throw for a couple weeks until they get it down.

Guy Chamberlin Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I think the OC can help Haarberg a lot. I really wanted the Husker offense to deliver the NW win just by getting that first down on third and seven with three or so minutes left. When they lined up with an empty backfield I said "QB draw" out loud. Then the announcers said the same thing. No doubt the NW picked up on the obvious and snuffed it out. I would like to see that play in less obvious usage in the first half. And while QBs get criticized for not staying patient in the pocket for receivers to get separation, that's not our situation here. We're back to a Jammal Lord dynamic, and I think Haarberg could cut and run whenever that big stretch of green appears and end up with better per play yardage over the course of the game.
