zE bOp Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Brook had heart...as a NCAA QB he was adequate at best. If he hadn't had his fatal accident, I don't know that he would even been mentioned in this conversation to be honest. He definitely didn't rank among the best QB's in Nebraska history - he only had 12 TD's and had 6 Interceptions to go with them. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I was kidding about Gerry Gdowski. Totally Frazier all the way. Although Gdowski is a great guy. Bought a whole bunch of chairs from me when I worked at Office Depot. Quote Link to comment
Bleeding Husker Red Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I notice Joe Daily hasn't entered into this conversation yet. Suspicious... Yeah the only Nebraska QB to lead the nation in interceptions. Stellar!! Quick, somebody look up where Dave Humm was on that list...,. Quote Link to comment
zE bOp Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Best QBs who decided at the last minute to NOT go to NE or got g@y and transferred and maybe didn't play QB anymore: 1. Blaine Gabbert 2. Josh Freeman 3. Harrison Beck 4. JOE DAILY ---><--- Quote Link to comment
Husker B Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Frazier Some important facts: Won 3 straight NCAA Championship Game MVP Awards, including being a 2 time Orange Bowl MVP. Won 2 National Championships. QB of the greatest team ever assembled in NCAA football (95 Huskers) Won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award Set the NCAA record for rushing yards by a QB in a bowl game. 1st team All American in 1995 Sporting News Offensive Player of the Year 1995 TD Club of Columbus Quarterback of the Year 1995 Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year 1995 1992 Big Eight Freshman of the Year Sport magazine Top 10 Players of the Century Probably holds the unofficial record for tackles broken on one run (Fiesta Bowl vs. Gators.) Not only the best Husker QB ever, possibly one of the best NCAA QB's ever. Only Leinart rivals him, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment

SUPERBUNNY Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Gdowski The "Great White Hope" Jerry Gdowski is right there. It's Frazier. Maybe had as good a command of his offense as any player in college regardles of style of offense. I agree with the new "more balanced" offense but I sure do miss the option.

gotchman Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I don't know if there is any doubt. Touchdown Tommie Frazier is the greatest Nebraska PLAYER of All-Time, let alone QB. It could be argued that he is one of the All-Time Greatest College Players also. His record speaks for itself. His ability to take a team and carry it on his back and make clutch plays through the air or on the ground. The TD run vs Florida in the NC game will always be my favorite Husker play ever. I still get goosebumps thinking about Pavelka's call...Touchdown! Touchdown! Tommie Fraaaziaaaa. Quote Link to comment

VA Husker Fan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 No Steve Taylor fans? For best ever? I don't see how. If someone wants to rank him in their top 5 or 10, they might not be off base, but no consideration for best ever. Quote Link to comment
Vince from ShamWOW Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 No Steve Taylor fans? Other than his wife and Kevin Kugler - NO. My favorite is Frost and my pick for the best is Ferragamo. For the Frazier fans, he ranks behind Ferragamo, Frost, Crouch, and Tagge on my list. Quote Link to comment
