Husker Richard Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ehhh Turner just had a big drop on 3rd down.... definitely not something Husker fans want to see Why not? He's most likely going to play QB. Give him a break, it's his first game at WR. I wouldn't put much stock in this outing. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Nice catch by Turner after getting stuffed on the reverse. Quote Link to comment

I only said that because of all the dropped balls we witnessed this year by our WR's. Sorry for the confusion Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The guy has had three practices at WR. I think this game means a little less than nothing regarding his abilities. Quote Link to comment
deedsker15 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So what if turner comes in and then plays receiver...might actually have someone who can catch the football Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 How did Hobbi do? I only watched a little bit of the game and it looked like he got knocked into the backfield every time I turned the channel. Quote Link to comment

He's down to USC, Arizona State, and UCLA. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Other than Lee, do we even have a QB here right now or one coming in that was even recruited to play QB by other teams? Quote Link to comment

MrBumstead Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cody Green Brion Carnes Bubba Starling (maybe) Jamal Turner Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cody Green was listed as an athlete and recruited as an athlete rather than a QB. Carnes was probably recruited as a QB but basically only by Western Kentucky. I'm not counting Starling because it's highly doubtful he ever steps foot in Lincoln. Turner was recruited as an athlete rather than a QB. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I guess my point is we tear these guys down once they get here because they aren't pinpoint passers. When Cody Green was recruited, all the analysts said he was extremely raw as a passer because he missed one year of high school football to injury. Martinez was recruited as an athlete not as a QB. Turner is recruited as an athlete. Yet, everyone expects these guys to be great passers when in reality they never have been. Quote Link to comment

We need to get more of a pass first guy, that can also run. B. Miller the Ohio State recruit really looked good, so did the dual threat QB going to OU. I also think (hope) that one of these dual threats of Pelinis will eventually be able to throw with some accuracy. Its seems we can only get the "project" passers that are great athletes,just need some time developing in the passing game. Problem is us Husker fans are not patient. Turner returned a punt and showed some athletic flash, something we are missing on the offense. Hes going to be a contributer one way or another. Quote Link to comment

Only about 2 dual-threat QB's a year are actually 100% considered QB's. When you have the ability to run people consider you an athlete as well. Cody Green was raw but he threw 36 td's to 5 int's his senior year. You can't do better than that. Kids like Newton, Vince Young, and Pryor don't come around very often. Quote Link to comment
