Beavs Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Josh Rosen isn't a good example because he's the exception and not the rule. Generally true frosh QBs don't start right away and have success like him. As for putting putting words in your mouth I don't believe I did. Just responding to your example, and now I'm giving my opinion on why I disagree with it. He is thee example. You made the general statement of true frosh QB's and happened to be wrong. I never said that he was the rule. I mentioned him, again, because it's not all that uncommon for True Frosh to be successful. Here is another example in the same year and SAME CONFERENCE. Jake Browning - Washington 210/334 (63%) - 2671 yards 16 TD 10 INT 139.7 QBR Brett Rypien - Boise State similar numbers as above. This^^^ I'll take those stats any day over TA's...welcome to being a WR TA. Josh Rosen is 8-4 Jake Browning is 6-6 Brett Rypien is 8-4 Are those the numbers NU is looking for next year?

Tomhusker64 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 POB will be a true freshman. However, he will have the advantage of going through spring practice. That could make it more realistic that he plays a major role early in his career at Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 More and more, I think we need a Juco in this class. Not a Keller situation, in which the job is promised, but we need another QB to push Armstrong. It's clear we have a concussion in waiting in Zack Darlington or another projection in Bush, so a Juco insurance policy might not be a bad idea. Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 A senior transfer could work out as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 A senior transfer could work out as well. Only concern with that is that is could create more controversy in the locker room. A one and done senior could send the wrong message. After yesterday, I'm certainly not opposed to it. Quote Link to comment

I've been a TA fan from the start, but my love for the Huskers supercedes that. Bring someone in that is better and I'll thank TA for his time here. Quote Link to comment

GOAT Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think POB was definitely an excuse that Riley used to get the heat away from him. I guarantee when he started to feel the pressure earlier this season, his response was, "Just wait til Patrick O' Brien gets here." For that reason, I believe POB will be thrust into the starting position (perhaps prematurely) and that Riley's future at Nebraska all depends on how well POB plays and grows as the season progresses. TA might as well transfer because he'll never play a snap at QB at Nebraska ever again. Quote Link to comment

Nice try though!!! Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I hope some of you aren't setting yourselves up for disappointment. Speaking in absolutes has a way of doing that. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Did Hackenberg start right away? He seems to be just fine, flaws in areas, but better than Nebraska has had in almost 8 years. True, the incoming QB recruit is always hyped and the supposed next best thing, but these days more and more Freshman QBs are coming in and are ready to take over the helm immediately. Why? I would think it is because of the countless hours and months these youth football programs are putting into kids. Kids these days are eating, sleeping, breathing football, and I am sure you have phenom youth QBs who are groomed their entire lives for the moment to come in and take over a program. It's just like you never use to see Rookie QBs get the start right away on their NFL team, and when they did you didn't see success. Well that is slowing changing. Is POB the next best thing? Like others have stated, its a glimmer of hope for the '16 season. So until he throws his first INT, this kid is the next Peyton Manning. Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 FWIW...I'd love to see the dude come in and be the next Payton Manning....or Tommy Frazier....or the first POB....but come in and be that rare, 4 year QB starter.....that would be sweet for sure. Quote Link to comment
