Mavric Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 But so many posters on here said he wouldn't be good enough for the NFL?!?! I don't know what to believe anymore!!Can you show 1 single example of this? But so many posters on here said he wouldn't be good enough for the NFL?!?! I don't know what to believe anymore!!Did people actually say that? He's easily a top 3 safety in this draft. There is quite the range of opinions in this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I was pretty annoyed at him for being an idiot so I may have said something *like* that. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I would have said that if he didn't learn how to tackle his Senior hear. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 I mean ... he was our leading tackler his Junior year so he had to be doing a few things right. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Tackled well his sophomore year as well, highest total of his career Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 But so many posters on here said he wouldn't be good enough for the NFL?!?! I don't know what to believe anymore!! Did people actually say that? He's easily a top 3 safety in this draft. Ehhhhh no he's not. He's more of a top 15 safety in the draft... self delete Quote Link to comment

That would be the thread I was looking for, thanks Mav I am sure I was critical of him in this thread. As good of a career he did have, I still feel he was inconsistent while tackling....even though he was the leading tackler. His angles and perceived lack of effort at times was frustrating. I think he did well for the Huskers and I hope he does get drafted! If he can get into the right situation and proper coaching he has the athletic ability to make it! Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I said at the beginning of the year, he was right at the stats of last years AA safeties. Not too far off this years either. Rated high by Pro Football focus and got some accolades post season. Dude is a beast. Has the physical tools. So much depends on where you go. Ask Chris Hogan.............. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I mean ... he was our leading tackler his Junior year so he had to be doing a few things right. He did two things wrong... 1. He was on scholarship 2. He wasn't Jano Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Jano leading the way for Gerry would have been one hell of a backfield. Riley had our best runningback playing defense. Sad! Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Sorry, but I view this guy as a disapppointment. Creating dissent last year by not "buying in" and not going to class this year and letting his team down.I think the whole "buying in" thing was overblown in 2015, but that's just me. Gerry's INT's against Wisconsin enabled NU to take that game to OT, and he played well the rest of the season. Yes, him not going to class all season is very dumb, but he's only one player on a team of over 100 players. All it takes is one bad apple to spoil the entire barrel. Quote Link to comment

Like, if you have one spoiled apple are the other ones now bad too? Quote Link to comment

One bad apple can and will spoil all the rest if left in the barrel. *Edit* You can save the barrel, or most of it, by removing the bad one(s) in time. However, left alone, that one bad apple WILL spoil all the rest. Quote Link to comment
