melscott62 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 is a stud WR. I think lee will mature into a competent QB, but he really needs a consistent target. I would really like to see the staff focus on a WR in recruiting and go all out after him. have a coach at every game..... whatever needs to be done(within the rules) to get him here Quote Link to comment
NoDoubt Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I agree, we need a Briscoe, Crabtree or a Bryant caliber receiver. If these schools can get them surely we can...right?? Quote Link to comment

Alex 4.0 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 yup, been thinking this since the transition from the option offense. Mo was pretty big time, but still wasn't at that next level. It's nice having big, strong WR's that block downfield for our RB's... but sometimes that means sacrificing some speed and agility out there. In a perfect world we would have a do it all guy, but those are hard to find. Quote Link to comment
dtbugeater Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I am not a green guy--but I was at the game on Thursday, and it was clear to everyone in the stadium that what we need is a QB who can put the ball where the players can catch it. Lee seems like a nice guy, and I think we keep starting him, but the best/fastest WR in the world would have made no difference on 90% of the incomplete passes this week. (yes, I know it was raining etc.) Quote Link to comment
rkhufu7 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A Lawrence Phillips or Ahman Green type RB that could score on any play from anywhere on the field. Quote Link to comment

husker B-rent Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i think we will see a much better Lee in upcoming games! the first game was in arguably the toughest stadium in the country and in was raining crazy hard in the second game! having played some qb in my lifetime i can tell you that the ball will slip out of your hand and cause overthrows and drops...

huskerswrkhavoc Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I agree, we need a Briscoe, Crabtree or a Bryant caliber receiver. If these schools can get them surely we can...right?? At least all our receivers are academically eligible. Wrong one... Briscoe was the one that was academically ineligible.... Bryant is ineligible for lying to the NCAA.... And we'll get one eventually.. We gotta keep winning before we get the big time wide out to commit.. We have one looking at us in White, not that he commits, but getting them interested is the most important part. But there were quite a few "dropped" balls also..balls that should be caught.. sure the weather affected it and some of Lee's passes were way off, but I can remember from my seat seeing balls that should of been caught.. so it's hard to say that "the best" wide receivers wouldnt have made a difference on 90% of the incompletions... i'd say about 50..

mmmtodd Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i dunno...i like lee, and truely believe he should be starting ahead of green, but all those smiles and eyebrow tosses that some took as confidence and passion, i take as false bravado from someone that might feel like they are in a little over their head. the camera catching stuff like that so often, is just, well, awkward to me. unsettling. and i think one of my favorite lines was shatels postgame column..."...a quarterback that couldnt hit the broadside of a Knob Noster, Mo., barn."

esox72 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Once we get one of those big game changing WRs Watson will decide to run the ball on every down. Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've been impressed with paul and holt. We have game breakers at TE and RB so all our WR's need to do is be consistent and bail us out when needed. Quote Link to comment
