Suh better than Carriker

[mitch93]

I know they play different positions but do you guys think Suh is a better defensive lineman than Adam Carriker was when he played for NU?

[MVPujols]

Suh is probably better the Carriker was, however, Carricker had Cosgrove, Suh has Bo. Pretty big difference there.

[redout22]

Yes I think Suh is better than Carriker. I think Suh will have a better NFL career as well.

This doesn't seem to be a worthwhile discussion to have. Suh and Carriker played different positions. Both were significant players for the Huskers. Who is better? Don't know. Don't care. And the idea that an NFL career is the decider, well, a lot of great Huskers had bad NFL careers. Trev comes quickly to mind.

I do think Suh is a better player, but as it was already pointed out he kinda got screwed on the coaching end. I wish he was doing better in the NFL, but maybe he'll break out here soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Carriker start his rookie season as a DT?? He was picked very high in the draft. I think it was 13th over all. I'm not sure about the number he was picked but he did have a good rookie year and was just as just as good of an athelete, possibly better. If you remember, Carricker worked out with the linebackers in practice. He was 6'6", 295lbs, ran a 4.7, and could bench 490 lbs. Suh is one of my favorite players at this time, but Carricker was a freak of nature.

Asking if Suh is better than Carriker is like asking if it's better to win $100 million dollars versus 101 million dollars in the Powerball.

[SkullandBones]

101 is better.

[caveman99]

101 is better.

[Huskerballz]

Yeah. I'd totally take 101 million over 100.

While we're at it, Nate Swift was way better than Terrell Farley.

Suh is the better physical specimen, Carriker had the better career thus far (Suh didn't show us anything special until last year).

[huzkerbob]

This is like asking which I like better my righty or my lefty. Sure ones a little bigger than the other, but they both have done their jobs pretty dang well.

Oh man LoMS, I thought that said, "Suh didn't show us anything special last year," and I was about to go out of my mind! Glad I read that again.
