At this juncture, there probably isn't a QB that we're capable of bringing in that would be an adequate bridge for a player of Raiola's caliber. He lacks the experience, which is what Raiola at this point lacks. I really wish Purdy had gotten a significant run of games as a starter by this point in his career, rather than most of his playing time being emergency duty, because I also believe in his potential. That time would have been last year, not this year. I'd like to keep him solely because of numbers, but if he wants to play he's probably best served transferring to a lower tier school. If you go back the past several decades almost all of the top rated QBs have sat all or most of their first year and the ones that have played significant minutes have not put up that great of numbers. Very few are Trevor Lawrence. With respect to Raiola, he's very, very advanced as a high school player. He has off the charts arm talent and an ability to stay alive in the pocket that is rarely developed until the professional level. Even when you do get a bead on him, he's already so big he can brush it off and still make an accurate throw. You don't want to overhype the guy, but there's significant reason to believe he can buck the trend of true freshman number 1 ranked QBs. You are either overthinking or clearly out of your mind. Or trying too hard to put him on the bench and wait his turn. Let me run it down to you so it makes sense. - 3 years have come and gone, and he has been "The best HS QB prospect" across the board, or near it, year after year. The Best. Among the best. -He is 230lbs. He's 6'3. Do you think he needs time to sit and redshirt to get physically ready to play football? Think about that. -He played great in Texas. He played great in Arizona. He played great in Georgia. He's a great player. - He has three years before he can go pro. Why would you want him to sit out one year behind HH or Purdy for a year? 3 years and gone to be a Pro player. - Why would you think he needs to sit behind anyone? Has Nebraska had QB troubles over the years? Has Nebraska been to bowl games in 6 years? Do you sit and wait your turn, even if you are the best on a team that wins 4 or 5 games a year? That doesn't make sense. -Why do you need to have a transfer QB to come in and have him carry the clipboard? Did 2AM not start his true freshmen season and do Ok? You don't have to expect miracles during year one with him starting when he earns that right, with the best arm talent and physical ability on the team. I just think the idea to "redshirt him, let him sit back and learn and get physically ready so he can be great in year 3 and 4" is ridiculous. That's old 80's and early 90's thinking. If he's the best QB recruit in HS and bails out on Georgia, says "No thank you" to Alabama, USC, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, Oregon, Washington, etc, etc.......... you know he's already the best QB on the team. No offense to Haarberg and Purdy and Sims (who had to leave). Please don't tell me you have to wait your turn to play QB at Nebraska. The whole state and fan base will tell you "Well, if he's that good, get him out there on the field ASAP". Unless you like fullbacks and walkons. 4 1 9 1 Quote Link to comment

The whole state and fan base will tell you "Well, if he's that good, get him out there on the field ASAP". Unless you like fullbacks and walkons. You know me. I love me some FB But I agree with you. Raiola wasn’t recruited by all of those schools to sit for a year or 2. He was recruited to play and make an impact immediately. He is a game changer. Something NU needs. We are very this in the “game on the line who needs the ball” type of guy. He’s that guy. Will it translate immediately his first year? Who knows…. But I feel like had he been here this year we are probably sitting at 8-4 at the least. We need to win sooner than later. And he is a big piece to getting that done. Quote Link to comment
DefenderAO Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Those who've seen him, how well does he read through progressions? The highlights I see are he's got a cannon arm and receivers who can get behind DB's. How do his skills translate to B1G year one? He better have someone's mind better than Satt teaching him how to see the field. 1 Quote Link to comment
