Count 'Bility Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If the only two games someone ever watched Tommy Armstrong play in were the two against Purdue, what would their takeaway be? Jamal Lord. And everyone know Ryker Fyfe is already the greatest NU qb ever. Just like Frankie London, Curt Dukes, Harrison Beck, Brion Carnes, and Cody Green. 2 Quote Link to comment

husker07 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Joe Ganz. He was better than Taylor and probably the best quarterback we've had since Crouch. Ya he threw some interceptions, but he was basically winning/keeping us in games based on his ability to make throws. Guy was a beast and we'd be undefeated this year if we had a qb of his caliber.

Marf Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Cody Green has my vote. Floated like a beetle and stung like a slug. Really just a pleasure to watch him operate the Air-Watson offense at such a high level. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 What kind of Nebraska quarterback didn't cringe when he threw a pass? Making me cringe when he drops back to pass is a hallmark of Nebraska football. Fine, the OP has only been a fan since 2007. But let's take a look at the past 45 years....1968 - Ernie Sigler: 73/145 (50%), 907 yards, 6.3 YPA, 5TD/6INT1969 - Jerry Tagge: 107/189 ( 56.6%) 1,355 yards, 7.2 YPA, 3TD/8INT1970 - Jerry Tagge: 116/190 (61.1%) 1,536 yards, 8.1 YPA, 12TD/8INT1971 - Jerry Tagge: 154/258 (59.7%) 2,178 yards, 8.4 YPA, 17TD/4INT1972 - Dave Humm: 153/285 (53.7%) 2,259 yards, 7.9 YPA, 18TD/16INT1973 - Dave Humm: 114/209 54.5%) 1,601 yards, 7.7 YPA, 12TD/14INT1974 - Dave Humm: 106/187 (56.7%) 1,451 yards, 6.2 YPA, 12TD/12INT1975 - Vince Ferragamo: 79/135 (58.5%) 1,153 yards, 8.5 YPA, 12TD/5INT1976 - Vince Ferragamo: 158/277 (57%) 2,254 yards, 8.1 YPA, 22TD/9INT1977 - Randy Garcia: 41/97 (42.3%) 624 yards, 6.4YPA, 5TD/4INT1978 - Tom Sorley: 120/205 (58.5%) 1,791 yards, 8.7YPA, 14TD/9INT1979 - Jeff Quinn: 57/110 (51.8%) 702 yards, 6.4YPA, 5TD/5INT || RUSHING || 75/247, 3.3YPA, 3TD1980 - Jeff Quinn: 96/157 (61.1%) 1,337 yards, 8.5YPA, 14TD/6INT || RUSHING || 108/348, 3.2YPA, 6TD1981 - Turner Gill: 47/91 (51.6%) 619 yards, 6.8YPA, 9TD/4INT || RUSHING || 76/263, 3.5YPA, 3TD1982 - Turner Gill: 90/166 (54.2%) 1,182 yards, 7.1YPA, 11TD/3INT || RUSHING || 101/497, 4.9YPA, 4TD1983 - Turner Gill: 94/170 (55.3%) 1,516 yards, 8.9YPA, 14TD/4INT || RUSHING || 109/531, 4.9YPA, 11TD1984 - Craig Sundberg: 53/84 (63.1%) 740 yards, 8.8YPA, 4TD/6INT || RUSHING || 56/74, 1.3YPA, 3TD1985 - McCathorn Clayton: 28/7 (35.9%) 602 yards, 7.7YPA, 3TD/7INT || RUSHING || 83/290, 3.5YPA, 5TD1986 - Steve Taylor: 52/124 (41.9%) 808 yards, 6.5YPA, 6TD/7INT || RUSHING || 130/537, 4.1YPA, 9TD1987 - Steve Taylor: 57/123 (46.3%) 902 yards, 7.3YPA, 13TD/9INT || RUSHING || 130/659, 5.1YPA, 8TD1988 - Steve Taylor: 72/151 (47.7%) 1,067 yards, 7.1YPA, 11TD/7INT || RUSHING || 157/826, 5.3YPA, 13TD1989 - Gerry Gdowski: 71/136 (52.2%) 1,326 yards, 9.8YPA, 19TD/2INT || RUSHING || 117/925 7.9YPA, 13TD1990 - Mickey Joseph: 34/78 (43.6%) 624 yards, 8.0YPA, 11TD/6INT || RUSHING || 91/554, 6.1YPA, 10TD*1990 - Mike Grant: 32/69 (46.4%) 484 yards, 7.0YPA, 4TD/4INT || RUSHING || 42/153, 3.6YPA, 0TD1991 - Keithen McCant: 97/168 (57.7%) 1,454 yards, 8.7YPA, 13TD/8INT || RUSHING || 117/654, 5.6YPA, 7TD1992 - Mike Grant: 46/92 (50.0%) 479 yards, 5.2YPA, 5TD/5INT || RUSHING || 50/148, 3.0YPA, 6TD*1992 - Tommie Frazier: 44/100 (44.0%) 727 yards, 7.3YPA, 10TD/1INT || RUSHING || 86/399, 4.6YPA, 7TD1993 - Tommie Frazier: 77/162 (47.5%) 1,159 yards, 7.2YPA, 12TD/4INT || RUSHING || 126/704, 5.6YPA, 9TD1994 - Brook Berringer: 94/151 (62.3%) 1,295 yards, 8.6YPA, 10TD/5INT || RUSHING || 71/279, 3.9YPA, 6TD1995 - Tommie Frazier: 92/163 (56.4%) 1,362 yards, 8.4YPA, 17TD/4INT || RUSHING || 97/604, 6.2YPA, 14TD1996 - Scott Frost: 104/200 (52.0%) 1,440 yards, 7.2YPA, 13TD/3INT || RUSHING || 126/438, 3.5YPA, 9TD1997 - Scott Frost: 88/159 (55.3%) 1,237 yards, 7.8YPA, 5TD/4INT || RUSHING || 176/1,095,6.2YPA, 19TD1998 - Eric Crouch: 49/101 (48.5%) 601 yards, 6.0YPA, 4TD/INT4 || RUSHING || 96/459, 4.8YPA, 5TD1999 - Eric Crouch: 83/160 (51.9%) 1,269 yards, 7.9YPA, 7TD/4INT || RUSHING || 180/889, 4.9YPA, 16TD2000 - Eric Crouch: 75/156 (48.1%) 1,101 yards, 7.1YPA, 11TD/7INT || RUSHING || 169/971, 5.7YPA, 20TD2001 - Eric Crouch: 105/189 (55.6%) 1,510 yards, 8.0YPA, 7TD/10INT || RUSHING || 203/1,115, 5.5YPA, 18TD2002 - Jammal Lord: 95/204 (46.6%) 1,362 yards, 6.7YPA, 12TD/12INT || RUSHING || 251/1,412, 5.6YPA, 8TD2003 - Jammal Lord: 85/176 (48.3%) 1,305 yards, 7.4YPA, 6TD/8INT || RUSHING || 215/948, 4.4YPA, 10TD2004 - Joe Dailey: 153/310 (49.4%) 2,025 yards, 6.5YPA, 17TD/19INT2005 - Zac Taylor: 237/430 (55.1%) 2,653 yards, 6.2YPA, 19TD/12INT2006 - Zac Taylor: 233/391 (59.6%) 3,197 yards, 8.2YPA, 26TD/INT82007 - Sam Keller: 205/325 (63.1%) 2,422 yards, 7.5YPA, 14TD/10INT*2007 - Joe Ganz: 89/152 (58.6%) 1,435 yards, 9.4YPA, 16TD/7INT2008 - Joe Ganz: 285/420 (67.9%) 3,568 yards, 8.5YPA, 25TD/11INT || RUSHING || 92/258, 2.8YPA, 5TD2009 - Zac Lee: 177/302 (58.6%) 2,143 yards, 7.1YPA, 14TD/10INT || RUSHING || 103/171, 1.7YPA, 1TD2010 - Taylor Martinez: 116/196 (59.2%) 1,631 yards, 8.3YPA, 10TD/7INT || RUSHING || 162/965, 6.0YPA, 12TD2011 - Taylor Martinez: 162/288 (56.3%) 2,089 yards, 7.3YPA, 13TD/8INT || RUSHING || 188/874, 4.6YPA, 9TD2012 - Taylor Martinez: 228/368 (62.0%), 2,871 yards, 7.8YPA, 23TD/12INT || RUSHING || 195/1,019, 5.2YPA, 10TD2013 - Taylor Martinez 69/110 (62.7%) 667 yards, 6.1YPA, 10TD/2INT || RUSHING || 40/117, 2.9YPA, 0TD*2013 - Ron Kellogg III: 80/134 (59.7%) 919 yards, 6.9YPA, 6TD/3INT || RUSHING || 23/-11, -0.5YPA, 0TD*2013 - Tommy Armstrong, Jr.: 68/131 (51.9%) 966 yards, 7.4YPA, 9TD/8INT || RUSHING || 67/202, 3.0YPA, 2TD I bolded the years where the QB had a good completion percentage, or at least a pretty good TD/INT ratio. I may have missed something, and I may have ganked up the formatting a bit. I typed this all, so if something's wrong that's probably on my end. I think this illustrates the point that, over the past 45 years and 50+ quarterbacks at Nebraska, maybe one third has been "good" when they drop back to pass. 2 Quote Link to comment

Of course, I'm from Fremont and Gdowski had just taken Fremont to the State finals against Creighton Prep the year before, so that may have been a local bias. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I remember watching GG when he quarterbacked the Huskers and thinking I wish he had more years to play. His decision making was incredible most of the time. He threw a good ball, was tough as nails and was fast on his feet. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Zac Taylor was a coach on the field as well. He & Ganz are the best since Crouch - both blue collar guys who were leaders and showed great character (Ganz for having to sit behind Keller when he should have been starting and Taylor for overcoming the D weakness and BC's play calling).
