Future with QB Position

[HuskerTrucker]

Just wondering if maybe we need to be looking at our future at QB, since it has become painfully obvious that this is going to be an up hill year.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

No, you don't give up on Ganz and put another QB in during certain situations. For the most part if a team does that they are not successful. Consistancy is key to us winning again...............

[General Blackshirt]

Are you serious with this idea?

[motorboatjonesNU]

The only "situations" the next guy under Ganz should come in are:

 

-Joe goes down with an injury

-We're up by 28+ in the second half

[mickijc_20]

we need to recruit a college qb that is a dual threat... im so sick of these "nfl" type slow qbs nebraska is trying to bring in..... we need someone like tyrod taylor

[BigWillie]

I'm an optimist, but it is VERY likely the next two games will go very badly. If they do, we will have to answer the question of whether it is about this year or the future. Can we go into next year with a QB who has seen no significant snaps?

 

The other part -- this team absolutely loves Ganz. He has paid his dues and earned his time. What would it do to them and how would it make Pelini look?

 

It's tough, especially over the next few weeks. If we end up 3-3 (which looks likely) it is about keeping a senior QB in there or going about our past mistakes by not building for the future?

 

I'm just glad I don't have to answer that question if/when it comes to that situation.

I think you are way too pessimistic to think we are not going to be competitive against Missouri and Texas Tech. Granted, they will be difficult games to win, but I expect the Huskers to be within 14 points of the opponents. I think you are thinking of last years team more than this years team effort.

 

I do think it is a good idea to get in Witt or Lee if time permits, but only if the game is either way out of reach either way...winning or losing by over 21 in the 4th quarter. Otherwise, I keep Ganz in and keep woking on plays.

We just need to play a bunch of teams with a secondary like ours. That seems to do the trick for the mediocre QBs we've faced.

[Back In Black]

lets see here, we have a 5* dual threat QB coming in for this years recruiting class, i think were set

[trouble]

Cody Green is actually 4*

Can we be competitive? Sure. Is it likely? Eh.

 

The more likely of the two is that our pass defense (moreso the safeties) will be exposed in a big way. That in turn will force us to a pass happy offense which does not suit our strengths at all. When/If that happens, we will get beat and beat pretty bad.

Bench Ganz!!! You cannot be serious. He has made some mistakes, but he maybe the one bright spot on this team! Do you want to destroy our entire season or what!!!

 

As for "pro style" QB's in the future. Look at the roster. Neither Spano Or Lee are exactly statues. And IF Green comes, the only real statue we have will be Witt. And I am not convinced that he will start at all for us.

 

My money is on Spano as our future @ QB.

[Back In Black]

Cody Green is actually 4*

5* on scout and at the end of this year rivals will have him at 5*

[kstatehater]

I think you leave ganz in, unless the game is out of hand in either favor. Come next year let what happens happens, i'm not sure if Green will be there for spring or not, BigWillie? However let them battle it out next year, who do we have at back up that you all trust to say we should sit Ganz down? Atleast ganz can take a snap without dropping it.

[Pedro Guerrero]

Mizzou worked Daniels in when he was a frosh for a couple of series. I see nothing wrong with throwing Lee or Witt in there for a series or 2 unless Ganz is in a zone.(which he was far from yesterday)

 

This in no way is saying bench Ganz.

 

My only problems with Ganz are he still makes some stupid throws and it always appears he only pitches or hands off on the options when the plays are sunk from the get go.
