QB Zac Taylor

Another story from SI on Taylor...

 

"Callahan sees Huskers' Taylor as title-caliber QB"

[Eric the Red]

Taylor completed 55.1 percent of his passes for 2,653 yards last season. He threw for 19 touchdowns and was intercepted 12 times.

 

I look for something along the lines of 25 touchdowns and 8 INT's

I believe Zac will be spectacular this year.......

 

I always thought Zac had it all year but it wasnt till the alamo bowl till i really believed that he could take the team all the way.....I remember the exact play where i knew he was something very special.

 

The touchdown pass he threw the Nunn in the 1st quarter was when i knew he had greatness in him.....he made a beautiful pre snap read, saw the middle linebacker blitzing, stood in the pocket and delivered a strike to terrence over the middle on the slant right before taking SHOT in the chin from the linebacker and terrence streaked down the feild for the TD....that's mental and physical toughness you can't measure....He is a true leader...one we haven't had undercenter since the days of Crouch.

Could be but he got lucky last year not to have about 15 picks. Several were right in the hands of opposing teams defenders and dropped.

Same could be said about his completion percentage being low. The ball was right in the recievers hands and they just dropped it.

I think he will have a better year. Last year he and the offense started slow (real slow). He has better receivers, another year experience, and hopefully a better line.

I look as Taylor as a serious Heisman contender. As long as the line gives him some time he definatly will have the weapons avaible for him to make big plays.

Stop it!!! I just spit my slushee all over my monitor.

 

He's a nice qb "for now," tough as nails, has moxy, guts, balls, etc, but "serious Heisman contender"??? In a league that lost quite a few starting qb's, Im betting that he wont be All Big 12 (first team).

Didn't Mel Kiper have Taylor listed as number 5 for senior (or other) quarterbacks? Pretty sure i saw something like that. I don't know if i would go as far as heisman contender, but he should have a great year. I don't see why he couldn't have all big 12 numbers.

Defenders drop picks, receivers drop touchdowns, it happens both ways.

The fact is that Zac will have a more experienced line in front of him, a better core of receivers to catch the balls, and another year with a tough system. He should be improved, and have a better statistical year. I expect nothing less.

[Jarred04]

to clarify, Kiper had Taylor in his top five "senior" quarterbacks next year. Still not too shabby.

[Blackshirtsguru]

I think Taylor will do just fine.

[KansasHusker]

I'm looking forward to seeing him throwing for about 3-4,000 yards, 25-30 touchdowns 5-8 int's. If he does that ... we could be looking very nice come the Big 12 Championship and bowl time.

...and could be looking at a heisman contender with that kind of stats on your back.

He is way better than Joe Dailey

In this offense, there simply is no comparison.
