Husker from Kansas Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think it's probably too late for Armstrong, but hopefully Langsdorf can get our future QB's to have this kind of touch on a consistent basis. Quote Link to comment
Waterloohusker26 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will finally be nice to not have to send the guys to QB guru when we actually have one on campus Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will finally be nice to not have to send the guys to QB guru when we actually have one on campus QBs can only work with Langsdorf so much in the off-season; there is still value in seeing others off campus. 4 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Tommy Armstrong is not that far from greatness. That's what makes him frustrating. This is the first year he will have to worry about holding on to his starting job. That a good start. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Armstrong is at least on the cusp of being able to have a great senior season. In my opinion, a reasonable and achievable goal for him (given he is the starter) is a 59% completion percentage, 25 TD's and about 8 INT's. Though, I wouldn't be shocked if he threw slightly more picks. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 At this point Tommy is who he is. I think you need to put him in the best spot to succeed and work towards his strengths and give him spots to make the right decision come easy. Roll out/option read/ tight end heavy. Fix mechanics the best you can but sadly decision making is pretty much set in stone. That being said.. Sean Mannion doesnt have a ton of PURE talent(in my opinion), but worked hard. That being said.. wont be in the NFL that long is my guess. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This is good publicity for NU. As for Tommy: the only thing stopping Tommy Armstrong is Tommy Armstrong. He could absolutely be much better in 2016. He's just gotta put in the work. How bad does he want it? That's a question he'll answer with his actions every day of this off-season.

However, If he is there because of hard work, I'm not going to bet against him sticking around a long time. Maybe not starter. But, guys like this sometimes have a long career floating around from team to team. Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Don't get me wrong I think Tommy is capable of making these kind of throws, just not on a consistent basis. His mechanics are pretty sporadic at times, throwing off his back foot a lot and probably not having a lot of natural arm talent when it comes to throwing touch passes. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Don't get me wrong I think Tommy is capable of making these kind of throws, just not on a consistent basis. His mechanics are pretty sporadic at times, throwing off his back foot a lot and probably not having a lot of natural arm talent when it comes to throwing touch passes. Can't change his mechanics. That takes 1000's of reps. You can truly evaluate the passes he throws well on a consistent basis. Limit the route trees and really design a complete game plan around his strengths.

I don't think mechanics are anywhere close to the biggest problem that held him back last year. Quote Link to comment
