JJ Husker Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I just hope that we have a need for some mop-up duty irregardless who the #2 is. Seems like we really struggled to get any reps deeper than the 1st string last year. It's hard to get these guys game experience if you can't or won't put them in a game. Quote Link to comment
Conga3 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 You're all wrong. Rex is and will continue to be our backup QB. The rest are just pretenders. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I say you put Carnes in and let Armstrong sit if it's middle to late in the season. If it's early in the season I think you HAVE to give Armstrong some serious consideration. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wouldn't get my hopes up about Tommy redshirting. Ain't gonna happen. I wouldn't be upset if he didn't redshirt. If he's as good as advertised, get him on the field as a back-up or as TM's replacement. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I wouldn't get my hopes up about Tommy redshirting. Ain't gonna happen. I wouldn't be upset if he didn't redshirt. If he's as good as advertised, get him on the field as a back-up or as TM's replacement. He was told during his recruitment he wouldn't redshirt. Saying he's "even" with RK3 and Carnes is Beck's way of saying he's #2. Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think Carnes would be the logical choice, if he has really improved. You have to think his cousin would have been working with him on the things he needs to improve on, before spring or fall practices. I know I would be picking his brain. This is going to be a interesting fall camp. Redshirt Armstrong, if need be they can always pull it, should the needs arise.. Â GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I was hoping we would RS Tommy. Don't see the point of not doing so unless we don't have any confidence in Brion. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's obvious that if Taylor goes down, you have to go with the guy who will win you the most football games. I don't care one way or another who it is. If Tommy is better than Brion and RK3, don't redshirt him. Play him during mop-up duty. Â If the battle is close though, I would prefer to see Tommy redshirt. If they see him being the starter once Taylor graduates, I would like to see him start for 3 years instead of 2. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think you just have to go with the guy that's earned it in practice. If Tommy is really practicing better than Carnes, if he's really the #2, then get him in the game as soon as possible, so our next-best guy is ready if Taylor isn't available. Â If Armstrong and Carnes are truly dead even, go with the guy who's going to improve the fastest if he's given in-game reps. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 If Armstrong and Carnes are truly dead even, go with the guy who's going to improve the fastest if he's given in-game reps. I don't agree with this. If they're dead even, redshirt the freshman. I don't think burning a redshirt just in case Martinez is injured is a good idea. If Armstrong is a lot better than Carnes, then maybe. Quote Link to comment
