C N Red Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ya it looks that way to me too. However, to me it makes no sense to run the type of offense that we are running with the types of qb's we are recruiting. Cody Green could be a hell of a qb some day but if you are going to try to make him into a drop back passer and hit this dumps and curls and outs then he will have a hard time succeeding. It just doesn't seem like we even know what we want to do as an offense. This year we have Gabbert who is more of a pro style qb than dual threat. The year before we got Green who is everything a dual threat should be. Then next year we are going after Turner who looks to be in the Green category. So what are we running in the future? WC passing game? More of an Oregon offense? The power game we are running now? It just doesnt make much sense to me. I really believe we want an offense like Texas has had this year. Basically, they run with backs only, the QB mainly throws, but if the QB needs to run he can and will. But, I really believe the kind of offense Texas runs is what we are looking to do eventually. So, you want a QB you can move, escape, move the pocket easily, and can run if it's there. However, the main thing the QB will be doing is throwing the ball. They just want to have a QB with that running threat to put more pressure on defenses, unlike Sam Keller. I feel the QB's we have recruited and are recruiting have shown good ability to throw the ball but are also mobile and can run if need be. See Texas, VT, Florida(more so last 2 years) QB's as of late. Link to comment

huskers1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 If we turn into a Florida or Okie State offense than I understand the qb recruiting a hell of a lot more than I would if we stuck with out current offense. This offense where we run dink and dunk outs, curls, and slants the entire way down the field would pretty much take away the advantage of having a dual threat qb. I do think having a better run game would open up other elements of our offense but from what I have seen this year, Wats doesn't really understand how to use Green at all. My main point is what are we looking for? A qb that is more of a runner much like Green and Turner? Or a qb that is more of a passer like Gabbert and Suntrup? It seems like we recruit both types throughout the year not knowing what we want exactly. Link to comment
titanhusker Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i think your odds of being a husker need to be bumped up to more then 5% 50 would be more like it Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I see Rivals has an update on Turner, the title of which suggests the Huskers lead "in a huge way." The teaser suggests that a commitment could be near. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment
titanhusker Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 not a premium member but my buddy is and told me no commitment from turner but we are in the lead by a very LARGE margin Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 not a premium member but my buddy is and told me no commitment from turner but we are in the lead by a very LARGE margin Thanks! I wish there was some film of him on Rivals or Youtube. If anyone finds any, please post a link. Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I meant to post these Youtube videos of Turner on his profile. Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just read the Scout article. Very encouraging. BTW He went to the Big 12 Championship game and he's also going to the Holiday Bowl. Link to comment

HuskerBruin Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Rivals finally posted some good film of Jamal. This makes me more excited about him as a QB. The kid shows some moxie under pressure. Link to comment
HuskerRob Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Rivals finally posted some good film of Jamal. This makes me more excited about him as a QB. The kid shows some moxie under pressure. He reminds me of a Tyrod Taylor. Undersized at being around six feet tall, and seems to have a strong arm, and you're not going to find many QB's with more quickness and ability to make a big play when the pocket breaks down. He could be used in design runs frequently with success (zone-read, options). I expect him to be ranked as one of the top Dual-Threat QB's in the country for the 2011 class, and we'd be very lucky to have him. Link to comment

Good thing about it is is that we are really going to have to F up not to get him. Think about next year's possible recruiting class... Green Moore Reeves Westerman Turner There are 2 sure fire 5 star recruits in that bunch as well as two other boarderline 5 star kids. Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 EZ, who do you think the borderline 5 star guys would be? Link to comment
