bball_backer Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Do people not understand what darkhorse means? If they were legitimate contenders and didn't have any questions surrounding them, they would be on the Heisman Contender list. The point is to go out on a limb and throw out some names that most people wouldn't consider in the conversation. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 ESPN is trying to jinx Taylor. Remember what happened last season? Thanks to ESPN, his hype status went up after the oklahoma state game. After that he fell in a slump Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 That list made me giggle... Poor Bruce Quote Link to comment
Jskers95 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Taylor Martinez at #2? I am not sure his reasoning behind that... Quote Link to comment

After that he fell in a slump No what happened was he started to play against good defenses that knew how to defend the zone read. and they figured out that he can't throw to save his life when he has pressure coming at him.

Missou had a decent defense. Until injury he totally tore them apart. Who knows how many points we score on Texas if our wrs don't drop balls all game long? Yeah, I know....who cares?....Tmart sucks! A guy might think that after the Missou game with a bad ankle on one leg and turf toe on the other we might give our freshman qb a little slack. But nahhhh.......of course, this is HuskerBoard.

Blaze1up Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 They're looking for Crowell to bust out the gates as a young buck. I know he was the top pick at RB, ESPN has him at #4 overall but jumping the gun at Heisman as a fresh fish is pure hype. TMart gets the START ! Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 For me honestly, if guys would really watch the whole game and then a whole season, the person on this team that would best fit the original list of qualities the Heisman is supposed to be about is Rex. The things he does in all facets of the offensive game is amazing and a blast to watch. Things that probably lead to all the other players and coaches praising him as the ultimate team player. However, as we have see the last 20 years or so the trophey is 90% sure to go to the "best player on the best team". It is a shame. Rex is and probably always be the darkhorse. He is/was worth the hype. And he will only(with good health, fingers crossed) become SOOOOO much better. Good stuff Paul, Rex has been nothing but a steady preformer for Nebraska since he stepped foot on campus. It's time he got some national recognition. Quote Link to comment

Good stuff Paul, Rex has been nothing but a steady preformer for Nebraska since he stepped foot on campus. It's time he got some national recognition. He'll need to start returning kicks (which there's been plenty of rumor of). 20 carries a game, 3-4 catchs and a few returns. He should easily be in contention after the OSU game when he goes off for 175 yards on their defense. Every Huskers' award stock either starts or ends with this game. It'll be hard to gain enough momentum if it's a bad loss, hard to stop the momentum if it's a big win. Quote Link to comment

I mean, they might as well have Clowney for Nagurski, Turner for All Conference, and Starling for AA QB and Pitcher. The odds of correctly speculating on true freshmen is somewhere between winning the lottery and coming out ahead in blackjack. Quote Link to comment
HotGrillonGrillAction Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm not sure how many times I've said on here TM will win the Heisman at NU....some year. Maybe not next...but some year. If he doesn't....he'll be shafted out of it. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 He may never win the Hypsman, but he is the best Freshman QB Nebraska has ever had. And still the hate. We hate the media when they knock us and we hate when they give us props, some of you need to take your dislike for Taylor and stuff it. He was the best we had last year, period, and most likely will be again this year. Deal with it, support the kid and the team. 1 Quote Link to comment

Taylor did some stuff last year that rubbed some in this fan base the wrong way. With a fan base like Nebraska's, there will always be support, but when you rub them the wrong way there will be a little questioning. He was young, and he will learn how to handle himself better with the spotlight directly on him. We support him, and support the team to the fullest. GBR! 1 Quote Link to comment

Who really does care that torched Okie Lite, nobody. Why because Okie Lite was terrible on defense. I will get on Tmart bandwagon when he is productive against a top 40 defense. Until then he is just an athlete playing QB. 2 Quote Link to comment
