Blackshirts007 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Brett maher. Dude had to follow up one of our best kickers in history and managed to kick incredible. Never really got the credit he deserved. Quote Link to comment
1HuskrFan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Taylor Martinez IMHO, been an avid fan 52 yrs have seen alot of unsung hero's go unappreciated. Taylor was the main cog in the wheel for 3 yrs, not counting 13. His mistakes and including playing injured, due to no back up that he couldn't out perform at 50% healthy. He broke so many records and would have established marks so high had he had a healthy senior campaign, they may never have been broken. I sometime wonder how many of the fans that couldn't wait for Tommy Armstrong, were having a change of heart during the remainder of the season. Taylor was an amazing athlete that directed Nebraska out of the Callahan era. He didn't bring home the hardware as some we remember so fondly accomplished, however most of those revered had alot more talent surrounding them. He was a warrior elite, his legacy will always be unappreciated because some Husker fans look for greatness with hardware attached. Pity GBR 2 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Taylor Martinez. It's not even close. Not only was he underappreciated, but he was often and overwhelmingly criticized. It's one things to not get the open noteriety one deserves, but with Martinez, we took underappreciation to a whole new level. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Zac Taylor was one of the few bright spots in the Callahan era, along with Cory Ross. Nate Swift set a ton of records also and he has kinda been forgotten already. 1 Quote Link to comment
DrunkOffPunch Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not the most underrated, but one to think about; Eric Hagg. I honestly think he was a better college player than Dennard. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I would go with Cory Ross. The kid did so much with so little around him. Taylor, who is one of my favorites, but he got his props, unfortunately he got beat up like the accountant says. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Swifty was one of my favorites! Porkchop too. How about walk-on WR Todd Peterson? Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hmmm. Names that immediately come to mind are Cory Ross, Phillip Dillard, Roy Helu and Taylor Martinez. Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I always thought Roy Helu was under appreciated while he was here. When he first arrived, he was in a logjam at running back until he finally made it clear that he was the best one, but then Rex arrived and immediately became a fan favorite, overshadowing Helu's talent. I was really happy for him when he had that monster game against Missouri so he finally got some recognition, because it seemed like he was always taking a humble backseat to someone else's spotlight, despite his tremendous talent. 2 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Joe Ganz and probably one of our offensive linemen. 1 Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Eric Martin. Hell even the coaches didn't recognize how good he was. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 TJ O'Leary and Jake Wesch, obviously...... Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Kellen Huston. There's a Missouri fan out there that really doesn't appreciate that former Husker at all. Quote Link to comment
